Lake Calhoun, Minneapolis, Bob and Mom Speirs

Lake Calhoun, Minneapolis; the boat I will have one day

The Little Tin Dinner, what I've been craving and what we had.

They came in handy. Mom Speirs' spare set of eating utinsels were safely stashed in her purse, saved from a fateful flight to Vancouver several years ago.

This morning church was in the park. The camp staff from Lake Wapogasset led the service and just as I was about to think that it might be a tiny bit sappy -- even me, a die hard ex-camp staffer -- I looked at my doe-eyed daughter and remembered how the camp formula works like magic.

Amanda found her camp counselor from last year, Alisha. She was soooooooooooo excited. They have the same birthday. Something for my to-do list: call Camp WAPO and request that Amanda gets in Alisha's cabin group, when she goes in August.

Meanwhile, Aidan is just happy for another venue to play with his game boy; and to get extra free attention from members of Bob's basketball team.

Later in the day; Lake Josephine, Roseville; and Aidan's horrible once a month splurge, a lunchable

Topping off the day, Amanda fabricated a duct tape book bag that perfectly fits her new journal. She is signed up for a kids writing class at the local library that starts this week.

That's all folks! Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful week.

With love, T
