Argh, repeat, I will not berate myself for not posting, I will not berate myself for not posting. Instead, I will in the spirit of all things back to school commit to regular postings, (I will I will!) - um, every other day?
In the meantime, I will try and remember some of our summer highlights, is it a cliche to say that cliche's seem increasingly true as you get older (I'm thinking of how they say time goes faster as you get older and this entire year is disappearing for me) which has me stressed, but instead will think about:
- Deck time, campari and soda, bread salad (much better than it sounds, all grilled veggies, basil and goat cheese);
- Mastering my first bbq! Grilled pineapple, peppers, salmon, steak, hot dogs, chicken...
- Swimming lessons with the boys (a lack of swimmies meant Avery's diaper would gradually swelling up, much like the character from Charlie and chocolate factory);
- Guilt at the work that I didn't do enough off and now must must catch up on (I'm all about repetition today)
- Kyaking with R on a grown up weekend away (golf, kayking, movies, massages and visiting J. Meisel), do pokey hotels counter stunning scenery? A discussion tbc.;
- The family vacation to Vancouver: a beaver plane and hidden private lake; whale watching (thankfully the orca's showed); the amazing aquarium and our boys discover room service (ice cream under a silver dome nice!).
In a way highlights of the summer seems like its cheating the entire point of the project - to capture the little things at the time, and each day. Oh well.
