Every once in a while this summer, my mind returns to my wish list and I wonder whether I’m checking anything new off of it.
I’m in the middle of making jam with my friend, Marci. I am ridiculously excited by this whole learning to make jam event.
Just getting the apricots represented a high point of my summer, because they were apricots obtained in order to make jam.

I seem to have more meetings and deadlines and the like than I’d envisioned—and so far not as many expanses of time than I’d envisioned. But even still, there have been so many nice events and parties and hanging out experiences, really, really no major complaints on that end. I have more hanging out to come, too.

My eldest son napping is a pretty usual sight around here. I often glimpse him completely out of commission and feel quite jealous. I’m pretty sure a nap is on my wish list for the summer. I am also well aware that teenagers require lots of sleep. He doesn’t always agree, even if his body seems to.

Look what I stumbled upon the other day.
That’s teenager number two. We probably need another long couch around here.
