I've seen my kids pick up my speech and mannerisms. I don't know where she got her 'phone persona'.

26 June

We set out for the pool, but only made it halfway before the chain fell off.

25 June

4 people x 11 days = a whole lot of laundry to fold!

20 June

Allen's college word processor... it was worth both the technological laugh and the explanation to the computer generation.

19 June

It's hard to resist spinning the stools...at least until the seats come off.

Boston ducklings bring back as many memories as the Quimby girls of Clickitat Street. I'm glad we've made time to pay them a visit.

17 June

Steamy windows at the Loaf, they don't have a season, or even a year. It's been 18 years and it's still the same.

16 June

Things you write while waiting for duckfat fries.

15 June

The raindrops hitting the maple leaves reminded me of a player piano. It wasn't a day to go sailing and eat lobster rolls by the sea.

Best lunch picnic spot -- even if the sandwiches got a little "misty".

"There's a bunny in the backyard!!!"; it brings so much excitement, it's worth dropping a coloring project to watch.

Someone in our house thought that Allen's vacation should begin today.

No more classes, no more books...

Peonies, at weddings or elsewhere, will forever remind me of my backyard in Webster Groves.

4 June

One of the last memories I have of my grandmother includes our lunch of vichyssoise.

3 June

"Boys of Summer" are at bat. An evening spent mowing the lawn. The smell of freshly cut grass for all.

2 June

My ankles swelled from the heat of the gym. But the rousing rendition of "Jurassic Park" made it all worthwhile.

1 June

I can do so much for the end of the school year. And leave it all behind on the tennis court.
