over the river and through the woods

Reassurances: I will blog, but they will all be posted upon my return. I will even include pictures, for your patience.

There is said to be a lake effects snow storm on the way--big, fluffy flakes to keep our journey interesting. It is the four of us--my parents, Husband, and myself--making our way around Lake Michigan.

With me: two of each, poetry, nonfiction, fiction. Husband says it is too much, but I say I like to have plenty of options. Who knows which way my reading whims will take me? I also brought one hundred and twenty Paradise Lost tests, and I am hoping I can grade those quickly and smoothly. I promised their completion upon our return from break, which is always a mistake, except it does motivate me to fulfill that promise (and no longer have it hanging over my head).

Happy holidays to all of you. I'll have a handful of posts on Monday for you to peruse. :)
