Boo Hoo! Jean 2 has returned to the world of teaching and I am sad. Not that she teaches, because I think it's great...I so admire teachers who pour themselves into their students. I have so many friends who teach in the public/private school sector and see the work they put into giving their students a good education and a positive school experience. But I am sad about the door that is slowing closing on our summer. It seems like it lasted about two weeks rather than three months. We fit a lot of activities and experiences into our summer...We went on a girls trip to California


My kids got to go camping




We had fun and played tennis, watched a couple of movies and just hung out. We discovered blogging, starbucks mocha frappacinos and Carmel, California. So as the sunsets on the summer of 2006, I leave you with this image

and say "Welcome Fall, we've been expecting you".
