There have been a lot of deaths of people this past spring and summer.  In some way or other they all touched my life. Sonia - wife of Tom, she died in her sleep, fast and unexpected and we lost a wonderful lady, a wonderful sense of humor. Steve - my cousin that  I really didn't know, but who was so good to my Mom, he dropped dead one day of a heart attack on the job Angie's Mom - our receptionists Mom, she had a massive heart attack on her first vacation, a cruise, and never recovered from the damage done.  It took a long painful month for her to finally pass. Bob - Gooch's Dad - four years to the day that Evelyn died of cancer, Bob died of a massive stroke before the cancer could take him. Norman - the closest person I ever had to a father figure.  He passed away the day I went on holidays and was buried while we were still away.  Mom didn't tell me until I got back.

So looking forward to some time to rejuvanate. See yall later.

My little girl has been 10 for a month already, now how did that happen? My seven year old updates me daily that he STILL does not have a loose tooth,  he is very upset about not having lost any yet. Kids have been in a variety of summer day camps all summer, as I am a working MOm, and Dad is a work away Dad. DD has done a science camp at the local college, a dance camp, a girls rock camp, a sleep away camp, a week at Sunny Brook farm and museum, a climbing camp, and of course her summer will end with a whole week at a girl guide camp.  (She is willing to miss one week of family vacation to go to it.) DS has been in a sports camp at the local college, did a Kinship camp with the Learning Disabilities Society,  been in the general sport camps at our local sports faciltiy (swim, gym, gymnastics, climbing etc), and two weeks at Sunny brook farm and museum.  That should be seven each.  It is expensive, very expensive, but I know they are well taken care of and they get to do so m
