Update

It has been a long time since I (Cathleen) have updated the blog. Part of it is that I have not been diligent about taking photos and I usually think of this as a space for sharing my photos. But that is too narrow a view of what a blog is for! Especially since I rarely carry a purse anymore and thus have nowhere to put my camera. Over Xmas I knit this cute little pouch for the new blackberry Santa brought me from this leftover yarn that I LOVE. It has all my favorite colors in it and matches everything I own. I find I shove my debit card in there and my driver's license and that is pretty much all I take anywhere now. The only downside is I can't cram a lipstick in there very well.

Anyway, thought I'd put in a few text updates about what we're all up to. For myself, I have to say that I am SO GLAD SCHOOL IS ABOUT OUT! The end-of-year activities, while fun for all the kids, have been very disruptive for me personally. It is about 5000 degrees outside and yet another big thunderstorm is brewing even as I type this. So, once school is out and I am not quite so "scheduled," I will be able to follow up on the basement place to come out and tell me how much it will cost to fix our continuing water problem down there. And maybe get curtains for the dining room, clean out the attic, etc. etc. I am sure I have already overbooked the summer. But it will be a new routine and change is fun!
