Good morning, Andi!
Off, too much food last night. We went out to
celebrate a friend's birthday.

It's come to this, has it?  Just a header, a terse greeting, no picture.  ;)

Worse, I'm sure everyone's already gone for the day by the time I'm posting this comment...

You have to get up pretty early to play with this bunch, CG.

When do the guys head back to school?

For the first time EVER, I have no one returning to school this year.  I still want to buy crayons and notebooks.

CBtY goes back the 2nd, CBtE the 9th.  Maybe I'll be able to get up early enough then.  :)

Wow, that must feel really weird not to have to do anything (although I would be delighted at the newfound ability to take a September vacation when places are less crowded-I fantasize about that, you know). I ordered a little bento box lunchbox for CBtY yesterday.  First time anyone wanted a new lunchbox in years.

I'm taking a photography clsss for 6 weeks to satisfy my urge to go back to school.

That looks suspiciously like the 18th hole fairway. You're not having the pack leave extra traps for the duffers are you? ;-)

Not to worry -- this is over at Happy Hollow Camp. And the campers are gone for the season so not even any surprises for them. :)

I love the thought of having three dogs and never having to clean up poop.
