First day of first grade was Wednesday!

 

School is now in session!

 

We survived Irene

I took this through the center of a hip squeegee, in Marshalls. Child was in midst of having a mini meltdown, or as they say down south, a come apart!

She got over it in about a half hour, back to normal.

between 11:00 p.m. and midnight, we had tornado warnings. I had our bike helmets accessible, and took Mary downstairs. Bruce said he was going to sleep (tired after working all day). Nerves of steel, he has! Nothing happened, no power outages or big tree crashdowns, thankfully!

this was an animation, couldn't figure out how to save it as other than a still shot. the inhabitants of the car were drinkin, dancin and carryin on. Michele was next to Biden.

and now, on a prettier note, photos from Hershey Park! I am having salad for lunch for a few days to try to rid myself of the fast food and chocolate weight. 2 lbs heavier. Oi vei!

Mary and Tony in the artist's studio

Mary drew a copy of Tony's sketch for a new sculpture. Pretty good replica, she just did it in 2 minutes and then showed us.

Another dedicated follower of fashion

High Tea at our country estate

Ok, it's our only estate, and I cannot figure out where all the servants disappeared to...

Check out the vintage lusterware tea cups and the gourmet chocolate mousse confections, etc.

Outside the Sunrise, and then on to brunch at the Crowne Plaza…
