Fall is here, hear the yell,
Back to school, ring the bell,
Brand new shoes, walking blues,
Climb the fence, books and pens,
I can tell that we are gonna be friends.

Olympic Randomness August 17, 2008
First, I must acknowledge that my thoughts tend towards Olympically-Proportioned-Randomness at all times…not just during the Olympic season.
Having made the above disclaimer, I must further state that I have missed gigantic portions of this year’s games because WE DID NOT YET HAVE TV SERVICE!
Now that this problem is solved, I just have a couple of Olympic Observations…
1. The Chinese Mullet…Has anyone else seen this look? We noticed it in the Women’s Marathon. Do you think this look will be widely adopted?
2. Olympic Badminton????…I did not know there was Olympic Badminton!!! I believe I could have totally dominated in this sport.
With Love August 3, 2008
Make new friends, but keep the old.
One is silver and the other gold.
A circle’s round, it has no end.
That’s how long we will be your friend.
We sing this song at the beginning of every school year at DLC. Somehow it just seems appropriate. Thank you to all the kids’ friends and their families. We loved seeing you Friday night. We count it as a privilege to know you and are grateful for your kindness and friendship to our family.
(And a big thanks to Lori and Aline for the pics…since Slacker Mom forgot her camera!)
