We are leaving early tomorrow morning for a little trip to the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. We'll spend several days there before leaving to visit North Carolina and finally head back home. I have a few posts scheduled while I'm gone and might post while I'm there but just in case I find myself in one of the few places that doesn't have free Wi-Fi, I figured I'd let you all know I didn't fall off the face of the planet. :)

I'm going to make a serious attempt to limit my internet usage while I'm away, so that I can relax, enjoy my family and perhaps even get some real work done but we'll see what happens. I debated even bringing my laptop along at all but decided I'd feel like I left a leg at home so in my bag it will go. I hate how dependent I've become on electronics yet most of my work and communication is through them.

We've also got a lot of big feastdays approaching!

Dormition of St. Anna--July 25
St. Paraskevi--July 26
St. Panteleimon--July 27
St. Irene Chrysovalantou--July 28

May these holy Saints of God intercede for us always!

I hope you all have a great week! In any case, I'll be posting details of our trip soon!
