I even find myself on Realtor.com every once in a while scoping out lake properties with the hopes that one day I can buy one and escape to it. : )<br /><br />And, wow! An Eagle Scout! What an accomplishment!!! You must be very proud! That fifty grand sounds pretty darn good, too!Diane Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06934612750269211608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-84907957538309265762011-05-09T07:15:17.210-05:002011-05-09T07:15:17.210-05:00Good morning, Diane! What a wonderful blog. I'...Good morning, Diane! What a wonderful blog. I'm going through the same thing with my son that you are with your daughter--minus the almost perfect GPA. On the other hand, he is going for his Eagle in the Boy Scouts, which will both look good on his college apps and give him about $50,000 in scholarships that he'd never get for academics. It's amazing to watch kids mature and change so much in so little time, and it is kind of like a character in one of my books. <br /><br />As for me, I've discovered that although a social butterfly at Nationals or conferences, I'm also antisocial. I'd love nothing better than to live in a cabin in the middle of the wilderness. I love to be around people, but like my DH pointed out to me yesterday, only on my terms. I don't like neighbors, people stopping by, heck, I even get tired of people calling. If I want to be around people, I'll go to my starbucks or call a friend, but other than that, I'd rather have uninterrupted time in the worlds of which I write. Now I'm sitting at my favorite Starbucks getting ready to spend some time with my characters in my alternate reality. Another perfect day in my opinion--well, except for having only four hours sleep last night.Robin Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16262933225938609682noreply@blogger.com
