Where to start?
- Well, the fourth of July came and went with some fireworks, many drinks, and two rambunctious dogs. I discovered quite accidentally that the Fredericksburg, VA fireworks can actually be viewed from my front yard, so Christine, L, and I all pulled up some chairs and had a nice view without any work at all.
- I've been in crazy object research mode at work - English delftware fragments (above) and champagne corks and all sorts of other crazy things fall into my lap and need to be taken care of. Guess I can't complain that my job is boring, right?!
- My mother was just here for an extended girls' weekend and we had a lot of fun shopping, getting pedicures, watching movies, and drinking her Hungry Girl margaritas made out of crystal light powder, diet lemon-lime soda, and tequila. My cats sure enjoyed having Grandmama visit (I must admit that I did too!).
- I harvested my very first zucchini. It was very exciting. I oohed and aahed over it and made my mother do the same. And then we made it into tempura.
This week I leave for a little train excursion up to Boston. Can't wait to see old friends, meet some new pint-sized ones, and just have fun getting out of the house. Boston - you'd better warm up - my Virginia blood can't stand any cold weather!

Um, yeah, it's going to be 68 degrees on Saturday. It is not warm here.
Thanks for the fun Fourth of July; I can't wait for the next girls' night!
Looking forward to seeing you! But I wouldn't hold out for heat:) (helen on mommy, esq.'s computer)
FORECAST UPDATE - 86 degrees on Friday - the weather gods must have known you were coming Gret!! However, cool, cloudy and rainy on Saturday, our typical summer weather this year. That's okay though :-)
