Helloooooo
Yes, we’ve been back from our east coast trip for a week and a half and I’m just getting around to this post. You are probably figuring it’s the staggering number of photos, or perhaps the intimidating stack of stories that’s holding me back, right? Or maybe you know me better and assume I’m just …
Look What We Found!
Honey had an excellent intuition yesterday to swing into a consignment shop where our friend Ruth used to volunteer.

Happy 4th!!
I hope you get to go to a parade. We’ll be having a barbeque with some great friends, but a corner of my heart will be at the parade in Needham along with my family, watching 3,742 fire trucks wail their way along Webster Street. Wherever you are, I hope you have a terrific day, …

Happy Summer. (At least if you’re in the Northern Hemisphere!) We had our first play in the creek behind the library, and it’s the 21st, so summer must really be here at last. Here’s to late light and slow days!
Happy Father’s Day!
Here’s to all the great dads out there. Thanks for all the stories you tell, the problems you fix, the performances you encourage, the time you make. This is what you call a soft-focus Father’s Day photo. We were walking through the outdoor mall after we saw a matinee (!) of Toy Story 3 (!!) …
It’s the Hap, Happiest Time of the Year
Or at least one of them! Last day of school yesterday. WAHOOOOO!!!! We’ve talked about teacher gifts here in the past. This summer we hit the same dilemma and ended up with the same solution – money into the general gift pool and sampler bags of our favorite types of cookies with thank you notes …
