Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Thursday 8/17/17
Good morning! Today is 7 months post op for me. Oh, how much has changed in those 7 months! Today is our campus picnic for faculty and staff. I always grab the kids and bring them over because they have bounce houses and food. I probably won't be eating anything, but they'll have fun.
QOTD: Are you a homebody or a traveler? My husband and I always say that if we could we'd be nomads. We've many times considered, because he works remotely, enrolling our kids in an online school and just traveling. Between the two of us, we are normally traveling a good part of the year for one thing or another. Even our kids find traveling appealing, they don't even shy away from the idea of big moves. I've never traveled overseas though and I'd love to soon. I think the kids are getting old enough now.

QOTD-My mind would like to be a nomad, but my body wants to stay home. I did a lot of traveling back in the 90's, but have done just short trips in the past 10 years or so. I do want to start challenging myself when my last two joint surgeries are done! Good question Erin.

Happy Thursday, all! Sorry for the absence! I have been uber busy with work, foster puppies and general just chaos lately! :)
QOTD: LOVE to travel. Haven't been able to do much of it the past few years, but I do make time to get to Best friends Animal Sanctuary every fall for the past three years.
