What's left of summer




Approaching the last week of my daughter's summer vacation, she is very antsy, and says she has wasted all summer doing "nothing." While it's true we haven't gone on any trips or done typical summer activities, such as swimming, we have done things.

We've seen movies, both at home and at a theater.

We gathered with family at a grand ol' July 4th barbecue.

We've read piles of books we obtained via local libraries.

We spent time together just hanging out.

Isn't it sad that most children today would agree with my daughter that these things are "nothing?"


By the way the last movie I saw was The Men Who Stare at Goats, and I have two words to say about that:

Hippie Jedi

That is all.
