I dont think I am ever going back...

to my addiction to social media.  THERE, I said it.  Although I broke my FB fast for like 3 minutes 3 times now and for pretty important reasons. AND, no guilt here. I scrolled down to where I needed to go and didnt keep scrolling.
I dont miss it! Not one bit.  In fact, it is freeing!
In place of all the endless hours of looking thru grumpy cats pictures and listening to folks who I am really just afraid to delete complain about their jobs, I spent the last 2 1/2 weeks soaking up time with my family.
It was joyous.
I spent time with my feet in Pine Creek catching tadpoles and frog eggs and salamanders and minnows with a net, just my lil girl and me!
I watched a beaver build his damn, rode my bike for miles with Audrey watching the view from the bike trailer, had a box turtle "Pokey" as a pet for one day thanks to Aunt Robin.  Spent hours kayaking on the creek with good friends and my husband, sat around a camp fire and roasted bananas and marshmellows and popcorn, ate at some pretty off the beaten path and FABulous places, laughed alot, read alot, spent time dreaming and enjoying the simple things. I even got to snuggle up with Jim and Audrey and enjoy a movie in bed once or twice.
Goodness knows I may have enjoyed that food wayyy to much, but I dont care about that either.
I went to my class reunion and saw many good friends I havent seen in 20 years.
 I watched the memorial day parade in my home town.
Our friends Joe and Joann took us under their wing at Pettecote Junction Campground for 2 weeks. Audrey learned what an orange blossom is and she can find them on her own now.  We ate ice cream in the hot sun, so fast you had to keep licking the cone. We waded in in the creek. Aunt robin visited. My mom and Dad came. So many friends met us there.
There was not the greatest cell phone service, and it was THE BEST!
I watched an eagle fly between the mountains and eat a fish. I let my feet soak up the dirt.
Yep, I dont think I am ever going back.
