new coming this weekHi gang! I hope you all had a great week!

We spent this past week at Rehoboth Beach. We have been going every year since the kids were babies and booked our house way back in November. Given everything that is going on, we gave thought to cancelling, but we couldn’t get any money back so we figured we’d give it a shot. I worried it might be overcrowded or too many people not in masks and we’d end up spending all week in the house. But fortunately, we were able to find space on the beach where we could be well distanced, and everyone walking around wore masks all the time. We ate all our meals at home and ordered a lot of carry out instead of eating in our favorite restaurants, but it was worth it. Not normal by any stretch, but at least we got a little tiny slice of carefully controlled normalcy.

And now here we are in mid-August and it is almost time to September’s 6th Annual Reading Challenge Month! We have been busily working behind the scenes for weeks now to get things set up. Starting this afternoon, we will have a series of lead up posts to get everyone excited and all up to speed on the event. Look for the overview post with an announcement of the challenges this afternoon.
