Lake Michigan With Robin Meade
After our long Fourth of July celebration, Robin and I needed a day of rest and relaxation. Melissa and her family took us to Lake Michigan and we spent a few hours laying in the sand and enjoying the view. Here is Robin soaking up the rays...Our drive back to Atlanta from Michigan was made PAINFUL by the state of Kentucky whose fake road projects set up 9 miles of cones to make the highway 1 lane but involved no actual work being done. It set us back 3 hours. As a matter of principal, I made it a point to wait to get to Tennessee to buy my food and gas and only got off the exit in KY to use the bathroom. Take THAT, Kensucky! .Melissa and I started our new quarter of school this morning with our Algebra class and Robin has promised to help us get through this challenging summer quarter. We'll keep you all posted!

Have someone with a clear head and an honest heart check the numbers before you commit irrevocably. Aries: Now more than ever you have a lot on your plate and less motivation than you're used to. Will you go sulk in your tent? Will you enlist the aid of your favorite sidekicks? Will you revive your flagging interest with a new approach? Honesty may be painful, but necessary. Taurus: You're standing on it (and maybe in it) at this point. The big red arrow is aimed right at you. Now that you know where you are, you may want to do something about where you want to be and how you want things to go when you get there. Phone ahead and hold steady. ... (more)
