Wow, I really cannot believe that most of July has been and gone! We were extremely busy this past month, entertaining family flying in and out. Eight airport trips makes one really appreciate the future of a proposed commuter rail system. We had my hubby's two nephews in for 2 weeks, and they were great, but we were exhausted when they left. All is back to (mostly) normal and Molly dog and the cat-who-reigns are both back to their favorite haunts.
We have been down to Branson, and into all points of the Big City, taking in everything a young teen might be interested in, including museums (we believe in sneaking in some educable moments in our entertainment), and the new movies out, like Harry Potter, and Ratatouille--cute. We had some hands-on experiences for the boys, like picking vegetables from our garden, climbing up to our treehouse in the woods, catching toads, treefrogs and lightning bugs in a jar, and we played board games every evening we could. They really creamed us with Uno and caught on to Mexican train dominoes quickly. We have great memories to share and lots of pictures to remember the time.
I did have some reading time in between, so I have one book to recommend for readers: The Diana Chronicles by Tina Brown. It was a thorough compendium of Princess Diana's life and times, and had some very interesting observations. If only, was the constant thought in my mind as I read it. Well, that's what biographies are all about, letting us look at someone else's life, and then set back and say, if only... I am planning to read After Diana next. A good follow-up.
