Home At Last

I think I am automatically logged on as Dad, but its really me (Mom).

So much to catch up on -- camping, tennis, rafting, the beach. What a lively bunch!!

I thoroughly enjoyed our days in Delaware which also included some Maryland, Pennsylvania and who-knows-where-else. The states are ridiculously small back there. Loved all the history stuff-- Valley Forge where the Union soldiers wintered, the Dupont house/museum, Delaware Bay and William Penn's house, and the 1+ Smithsonian museums we got into. We took the commuter train to D.C. the day after the bombings in London and it was a little unnerving to see soldiers standing at the stations with Uzi's in their hands.

I'll let Dad tell you about Vegas. Suffice it to say here that he has no desire to go back.

The reunion is definitely the second Sunday in August which is the 14th. I wonder if there might be some better places to camp near Seaquest but further up the mountain?? Anyone have time to check? Maybe I can tomorrow.

I was hoping to rent us all a house at the beach for a few days again but was waiting to see what weekends we might all have free at the same time. I'm back to work the first week in August but will have a pretty flexible schedule for the most part and am working 4-day weeks. I really like the rafting with a camp out idea. We would be willing to pitch in the lion's share on that if everyone is in to it. Is that on the Rogue or the Deschutes (sp?)

Tim kept all our plants alive but we seem to be missing Mina. I think she got mad about Greta and decided to find a different family with fewer dogs.

Got to do a few more chores likes laundry and bill paying. Hoping to see y'all soon.

XOXOXOXOXOXO
