Nice to have company!

 Our niece likes flowers. 


We know this, because she points it out. 


We were all thrilled to welcome Angelina and her parents for an overnight this week, on their way up to Maine.





Of course the hot tub was fascinating...



Luckily, there were plenty of flowers to take her mind off a plunge.

Syls bunk mates

 Apparently this was quite a group of characters.

Camp wrap up and misc back home

Syl had an awesome two weeks at camp.


She's in there. Look closely.


She's in there too. I know it.


Finally! Proof she went in (or at least near) the water! Syl insists she was in the lake every day and the photographer just missed her.


Back home, Melissa and I went out to dinner again, at one of my old favorite haunts from the athena days.



And for whatever reason, Melissa started conducting property inspections in her bathing suit.


Pick up day finally arrived. I drove up alone (Covid rules!) and got her.  She got a nice farewell from friends and her counselors and regaled me with stories all the way home. 




When I asked if she wants to go back next year she looked at me like I was nuts to ask. "Um - YES!!"

It is nice to have her home. It was also nice to have her showered.
