It's the beginning of the firsts:
first swimming lesson ever (for Little Sir), and first class of the summer,
first time at South Jamesport Beach,
first of No. 1 Son's men's softball games of the summer we've gotten to attend (they won!),
first week of Dear Daughter's internship,
first week of the summer music lessons (always so much more fun, after the stress of preparing for NYSSMA and everything,)
first of the lilies to open in the yard,
first of the summer clam dishes I like to cook,
first water-gun battle between Little Sir and Papa (grandfathers are the best at teaching this stuff!)...
And the lasts: we've been eating lots of strawberries, always afraid it's our last quart (I've noticed the prices on the North Fork are considerably lower than E. Quogue...3 qts. for $9 , as opposed to $5 a qt.),
last of free off-season parking at the beach,
last week of the school-time schedule and on to summer schedules for us all.
Time to truly pack away the cooler weather clothes (only leave out some sweats for chilly night outings) and get back on the exercise routine (I actually lost weight on vacation...and gained some of it back during R & R! Not fair. I will be a leaner, healthier me, come September!)
Still looking for a tandem bike, if anybody knows of one...haven't had much luck yard saling...people are selling tons of things I have no need for.
And still trying to sell our converted schoolbus/RV...anybody know someone who might be interested? It's fully self-contained and gorgeous on the inside...sad for it to sit in the driveway when someone could be enjoying it.
Happy summering!

The converted school bus... hmm How about lending it out? Anyone for a road trip? Is it a nice color van? Does it run? What about uphill?
It's a full-length skoolie...30 ft. It's painted tan (boring...but it's not the Partridge Family.) It sat over the winter, and now has trouble starting. Someone with some mechanical know-how would have her up and running in no time. We just don't have time for it...and our life situation changed since we bought it, so our original plan won't work. It is gorgeous inside, like a 1 BR apt. Mostly brand-new.
oh...it's standard...uphill is fine...downhill, too.
Hey, Let's all do a Thelma & Louise!!!!!!
I'll bring the marshmallows!
Ha ha...ok, but, I need a friendly mechanic to get 'er started up again (DH is lovely, but not particularly mechanical.)
I'll bring the firearms.
ok...now, you're scaring me. ;)
