Day 1455: Empty house

Our sons left by 8:30 am after a wonderful week together.  They drove through hours of heavy rain, but made it home safely.  I was in my PJs at 6:00, took two tylenol, drank lots of water, and settled into my chair with kitties sleeping by my side.  Time to recover from a week of indulgence, a busy schedule and lots of company.

This morning I finished the enrolling and recruiting chapter!  Woohoo!  Next on the agenda is the Cobb era history chapter.  At noon we visited with Shane and offered him a new job on Quest:  Hike group leader.  He will either take my place or that of another leader who is struggling with health issues.  We have complete confidence in him and he's ready for the next challenge.  Now, we just have to wait and see what the start date will be for his summer job.  Hopefully, it will be after May 21, 2016.  He will be the first Quest hiker ever to transition from 8th grader to student leader to adult leader and then hike group leader.

Everyone has now booked their trips to Scotland!  Seven of us will be traveling together, Steve and I, Mary, Nancy, Laurie, Steve and Rachel!  Among many attractions, we'll be visiting the Isle of Skye and the town of Culross where Steve's ancestors lived.  Very exciting!
