Otherwise known in BC as the "dog’s breakfast" – just a mess of different things:
- Look at how many of you supported Gracee in my last post with the cuteness defense! Did I mention that she once ate Chuck’s $1200 hearing aid? The upside of that one was that it was still within two weeks of his year long replacement for any reason warranty.He was informed that he was #10 that year with a dog chewed hearing aid.
- That boy, who lives in our house, but has given his parents a break from his antics by accepting a job at a sleep-away camp as the "skateboard director" (can you imagine the ego that title reinforces?), added three stitches to his tally of over 40 this year. These were caused by introducing his chin to the cement while riding a BMX bike in the camp’s skateboard park.
- Vacation time – this blog is officially on vacation as next week I’m taking my husband of nearly 25 years on the trip he’s always promised me, to see where I grew up and meet the people who are important to me from my younger years on their turf. It’s a crazy nostalgia trip. I’m hoping it will help him to understand how I came to be me, in a culture much different from his Minnesota farm boy roots. Not better, just different. Long Island New York, Connecticut, New Hampshire, here we come!
- Guess who I get to meet while we’re there? Sandy!
- You know how much I hate the use of gratuitous exclamation points. I’ve been known to suggest, ever so kindly to people at work, to read over their piece using the word "wow" at every exclamation point. Well I really meant it – East Coast – Wow! Sandy – Wow!
- I am bridge phobic. There, I’ve admitted it in public. The tragedy in Minneapolis, in Chuck’s home state, has reinforced this. Next week will bring the George Washington Bridge, a big one, as I remember, and the Throg’s Neck, an exceedingly skinny one with lots of traffic. Just preparing myself.
- Here’s the knitting I’m toting along – good ole Print O’the Wave, almost half way done:
See you in three weeks. That’s one of the nice things about getting older, adult kids and their friends to keep the house, boy and dog in order while you’re away!
