Four brats:
Karen, Cameron, myself, and Joan

Uffda, it's dark out there today. I need to get out for a quick walk before water starts pouring out of the sky.

We've got Emil home from Camp Easter Seal, there are only two weeks till school starts, and I have yet to spend one hour at the beach this summer. Must remedy that.

But first -- a walk, and work. And if the cool grey clouds manage to maintain their hold on the day, perhaps some baking will be in order.

And that's my exciting life .... just pretty much the way I like it. Scott said to me recently something along the lines of "always" writing in my blog. I had to laugh. What does he imagine I do all day? I'm lucky if I find time to post an entry here once a week.

Email from Joan:

"I always tell Jordan that she needs to eat so she can grow bigger, etc. Yesterday we were at a Mac store getting a slurpy and there was this huge guy there talking to the cashier while we were waiting to pay. She tapped me on the leg, and said, with wide eyes....'Mom, how much did HE eat?' "
