summer is skipping merrily along.

well, I guess it's technically over, since our grandkiddos are back in school. Kevin finally went fishing yesterday for the first time this year, used his pretty new blue rod and a lure he bought from our old neighbor Krystle's son.

yesterday I picked up Ann & Izzy from ER and hung out awhile holding baby. which is always surreal and wonderful. it just doesn't seem that long ago that our kids were babies. and now they're parents. I cleaned on basement, specifically Kevin's corner. scrubbed on some windows. and we did some porch sitting at Melissa & Dave's after Kevin helped him mechanic on something.

we slept in today. Kevin went fishing again. I stayed home, listening to podcasts and cleaning. put fresh pillowcase on Rip's pillow in travel carrier since he got carsick the other day. cleaned some glass and then polished some wood furniture. we do have some wonderful old pieces that look so amazing when I shine them up.
