“Summertime,
And the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’
And the cotton is high

Oh, Your daddy’s rich
And your mamma’s good lookin’
So hush little baby
Don’t you cry”

Thank you George Gershwin for the kind words, even if they aren’t all true. We have, however, had a very easy summer.  The weather has been dry, warm, clear and all around great.  I can honestly say I will be ready for “Sweater and Boot Weather” (this is almost an official phrase among us women here in the Pacific NW…) when it arrives-sooner than later most likely.  What have we been up to, you ask?  Well, a whole lot as it turns out now that I have finally had a chance to sit down and go through all the random pictures I have taken this summer.  Most of these are from my phone, something I usually have on me, and since Markie got me a new fancy one with a 41 Mega Pixel camera that takes pretty amazing photos, these are pretty good!  So, hopefully this will help with the blogging down the road.

Anyway, go through the slideshow below.  Click on the first picture to start the slideshow. I have included captions with all the pics so you can know a little bit about what you are looking at.  Next week Sophie heads back to school…so we’ll have new posts about that soon enough!  Now, we are off to enjoy the last 7 days of summer vacation!
