Did you miss me?

Might I just say that Canada is lovely? Especially when you have nothing to do except play croquet, drink a highball, and swim in the Lake? Ahhhhh, the good life.

Then you come back to reality - cold turkey. Work, housework, bills, OUCH. Oh well - that makes vacation that much sweeter.

We had a great trip - Travis and I went to Niagara-on-the-lake, prime Ontario wine growing country, and also visited the falls. We then headed to the Lerch (see left) where my brothers (Chris & Bobby) joined us for a week of R&R. We even did a 3 day canoe trek in the Massasauga - and weren't completely eaten by the mosquitos (though it was touch and go there for a while).

Now I'm back at work and gearing up for the semester, which starts Monday, the 21st. I'm teaching at least 3 hours, working the 25 hour culinary contract, and taking 4 hours from Iowa State. I'll be busy, if nothing else!

I'll post more vacation pics later, but for now, CHEERS! Good luck to all you students and teachers out there!
