It must be a challenge to pack all of your gear- but necessary. The strangest thing I ever packed was a styrofoam, glitter pink sprayed lollipop tree for a YA conference/signing...

It would probably be difficult for me to get anything done if I had a view of the mountains outside of my window. As for me, I'm not a writer or even employed secularly these past few years, but I still find balance to be the most difficult thing to achieve.

I, too, would love to hear you play. I move in and out of writer, caregiver, cook, lackey - all day long. If I just respond to whoever or whatever needs me, I feel balanced. (obviously, no children around, so life simplified.)

Going to blue grass festivals was one of my dad's favorite family activities. I think balance will always be my challenge as well, but clearly your books are an indication that you are doing something right!Carol Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02360417299528882416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-11480361425842391102014-06-26T07:33:17.881-07:002014-06-26T07:33:17.881-07:00, last

I've learned to plan my time, especially with deadlines, but at times things get crazy!<br /><br />I've never packed anything crazy, but once when I was at a conference, the zipper on my suitcase broke just as I was heading to the airport to come home. All I can say is, thank goodness for duct tape!Tara Randelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16509580769615741117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-23660578780982904722014-06-26T07:05:10.603-07:002014-06-26T07:05:10.603-07:00Kristine, I'm impressed with how much you mana...Kristine, I'm impressed with how much you managed to pack. And I'd love to hear you play all of those stringed instruments. Love steel guitars and fiddle music. And cowboy boots---must have those. Balance, what is that? There must be an art to finding balance. Have a wonderful, productive vacation. That sounds like a good balance.rozdennyfoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506701706951201107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-33998008767016357972014-06-26T06:37:46.826-07:002014-06-26T06:37:46.826-07:00This picture made my morning, Kristine!

Nothing like starting off the day with a good chuckle. :)<br /><br />Finding balance is probably the hardest thing for me, especially when deadline looms, but giving myself one day off seems to be working (6 days on, 1 day off)...necessary to recharge the batteries (and stop the dreaded butt spread ).

With your packing skills, we could use a truck half the size of what we would otherwise require!<br /><br />If we are driving somewhere, we have to be selective in what we pack, as the back of my SUV is strictly reserved for our dogs!<br /><br />I hope you are having a wonderful vacation!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17478912840797103106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-81713253322786436982014-06-26T03:19:33.816-07:002014-06-26T03:19:33.816-07:00When we went to Texas in 1980, I packed a whole ba...When we went to Texas in 1980, I packed a whole bag of powdered Gatorade mix to make up and keep us hydrated while we were on the road--it was on sale really cheap. Before we even got out of Indiana, someone had spilled the Thermos of Gatorade all over me and we all figured out we hated it. The bag of unopened mixes stayed in a rest area somewhere--I hope someone found it and liked it.Liz Flahertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06794565644883272260noreply@blogger.com
