Clothesline

As a teenager I declared my intention to never hang clothes on a clothesline. Alas, I am now just another example of how pathetic adulthood can be.

Old Mission State Park

Our excuse was buying a lug of cherries in northwestern Michigan. Last Friday, Mom, Naomi and I took our last fling before the start of the blueberry season. We immersed ourselves in the Grand Traverse Bay, climbed the Grand Traverse Lighthouse and explored a bike trail near Traverse City. We even managed to buy a few quarts of cherries on our way home.

Camp dog

 Charlie went camping last week when our family went on our annual July 4th excursion to the back end of our property. He had a wonderful time playing, hanging out, and scrounging under the picnic tables.

Spinach, feta turkey and PJ

Amanda, Judith, Kaelyn, Janessa and Austin were my guests for dinner last week. The big girls had spinach and feta turkey burgers (recipe here) with pitas, cucumber, tomato, avocado and hummus, served with iced mint tea. The little girls had peanut-butter and jelly sandwiches and pink lemonade. Austin had a bottle. Then big and little girls polished off an entire strawberry pie. Delicious.
