Summer recap

The reason why I haven’t posted in so long is largely related to having no well-functioning camera. Then summer ended with the fall of the PT Cruiser and three weeks of car shopping.

This is an amalgamation of bits of things we did, but it doesn’t capture what stands out. When I think of how time flew by, I think of going for a quick swim every afternoon and spending a lot of time watering the garden.
