After school let out for the ‘summer’, we headed to the U.S. for a quick visit.

I recently started a modern calligraphy class that uses brush pens. I was excited to learn that there was a stationery store at the Tokyo airport that carried the pens I needed for the class. And we had a 4-hour layover in Tokyo! Unfortunately for me, the store was on the outside of security…and we could not leave the airport. ☹
After 30 hours of travel, we finally made it home.

Jackson went to see his dad, and I hung out with my dad, taking him in for knee replacement surgery.

While he was recovering, I stocked up at the Scout Shop, Michaels and Hobby Lobby – to get those brush pens – and I got my fill of Chick Fil A. The best part was that my middle son flew in from Portland, Oregon to visit! It’s never enough time to catch up, but I’ll take what I can get. 🙂

I got to hang out with my dad’s dog, breathe in some fresh air, and saw a double rainbow and even the stars at night! (although it did get up to 106 degrees!)
