Up To The Mountain

From the Driveway, After the Rain

It’s completely quiet here right now. My dad, who hadn’t been feeling well enough to join us, decided yesterday that he’d go ahead and drive up. He arrived this afternoon, and now he, my mom and John have all gone back to a lake high in the mountains to catch some more fish. Brian zonked out shortly before they left, so I told everyone to go on, we’ll stay here. Sam is sniffing around in the backyard; he’s completely delirious with all the new adventures. Today Brian and I hiked up the big hill behind the cabin, taking Sam along with us for the longest walk he’s been on since we adopted him.

Things are perfect. I’ve finished my first book and am almost completely done with The Complete Persepolis, which you must read, if you haven’t. (I haven’t seen the movie but would now like to). Sometimes the best thing about a vacation is the time you get to spend being totally quiet. This is one of those times.

On The Road, Fambly
