| Last days of summer |
|
I spent the weekend with my family. Today I am at work. Yesterday I was lazing away with them, napping, snapping pictures of running through the sprinkler. Today things are hectic. Yesterday they were not.
Here's one last glimpse of the end of summer.

The Sprinkler!! |
Remember when nothing was better than a chilly sprinkler?

Bailey is too little to run through the sprinkler, but not too little to watch her big brother.
Watching is almost as much fun, I think.

Dinners to go for this week |
Dinners, as you know, come with a freshly-made green salad, salad dressing of the day, and made-right-here bread of the day. We take reservations until noon or so. Please order by phone (252-1500), by FAX (252-02002) or stop in to speak to one of us in person.
As a reminder, every time you order a dinner to go you are eligible to enter our drawing. Just drop a card in our drawing jar (a business card works or fill out one of the cards that we have right here) and, at the end of the month, we'll pull one card which, starting this month, will be good for one of our new "Don't Postpone Joy" (tm) bags.
Maybe you'll win next month.
Order a lot? Enter a lot!
Good luck!!

| Special casserole of the week |
|
We make a special casserole each week, usually on Wednesday. Order before noon and we'll have yours ready to pick up between 4:30 and 6:00 that very afternoon. (Yes, you can order in advance too.) Order a full for 9 portions or, if your gang is smaller, opt for the half-sized one, which serves 4 or so.
Say, we'll happily make a salad and provide bread for you if you like, just let us know when you call and we'll get you all set up.

Jones is not scared of horses. And Lucinda, my sister, is delighted to have this little companion who happily follows her around, doing everything she does. He's the perfect grandchild. When the rest of us are exhausted, Jones is still trotting along right next to her. Before too long he'll be riding.

| A Note From Laurey |
|
September 3, 2008
Oh how quickly it flew by.
I spent the weekend with my sisters and my niece and nephew. Sweet, slow time. Running through the sprinkler, gardening (with a big emphasis on watering), feeding babies, encouraging napping, napping(!), and not much else.
My computer did not work at my sister’s. My normal mode would be to fret about that. But I slumped into the slowness of the time, forgot about it, and carried on.
I had thought I might sneak it in once I got home last night but my sister enlisted my support in digging up one more and then one more and finally just one more plant from a garden she was moving from one place to another. And so, instead of leaving when I had thought we’d leave, we left a lot later and that, as it turned out, was just fine. And instead of making a beeline for home, my other sister and I dawdled a bit, stopping more than I ever do if I am alone. I got home late and I left my computer in the car.
So here it is, Tuesday. Day after Labor Day. The phones are wild. Emily is back with the new baby. We’re all trying to get used to the newness of so many things.
For now – I guess I’ll just finish, get to work, look forward to a bit more time during the week. I miss summer. I like fall, and I’m really okay with things but, gosh, to tell you my truth, I’d rather, right now, be sitting dangling my toes in my sister’s pond.
I’ll be in touch next week.

And that, as they say, is that.
End of summer.
I'll miss it.
