8/21-8/28

CANNOT BELIEVE I haven't posted here for that many days! It is kind of neat to see all the pics in a strip though. It is a real photo story of life. Summer is winding down in a big way, and I could look back at this blog, for several years, and see the same feelings I am having right now in black and white of another time. It is such a needed thing, the return to school and regularity of schedule, but I dread it and mourn summer's loss so much as well.

Top to bottom...

Party at Mary's - Ashlyn loved the ice

Party at Marnie's - sang with Sandy and Marnie

Started to paint Devin's room

Summer Writing Institute - heard EM Crane speak

Bookclub dinner out

Finished Devin's room

Lia party at Jill's

Family movie and living room picnic

Such ordinary variety, but all things of my CHOOSING. That is what I miss in the structure of the school year too...having to CRAM IN what you want to do, because of what you have to do. Still, not much I can do about it, and although I am low, it has been a wonderful summer just the same.
