The above picture is my Mothers Day gift from Morgan. I entered it into the Marin County Fair (as I usually do with her art) and we went to the fair to see it. I got my usual BBQ Corn (with Pepper and Parmesan Cheese) and we spent most of the day at the 4H exhibit, the Pig Races and the petting zoo. Then we went to the Adult Art and Bonsai exhibit. It was 5pm and we told Morgan we were going to go home. Morgan was saying "I haven't gone on any of the rides!!" I then said, "Tomorrow you are going on a field trip at camp and coming to the fair and I am sure you will get to go on the rides". So when I picked her up from camp on Monday I asked her what do you all do at the fair? ( I was thinking she showed her camp friends her painting?) Morgan said, "Well... we went on rides until lunch and then we went on rides after lunch." Interesting. I thought maybe they would see the Chinese Acrobats or the Puppet Show. Not go on rides all day. Morgan said her favorite was the Haunted House which she went on 7 times.
Summer this year has included going down into the garage looking in the boxes and deciding what we no longer need. Boxes of books now being given to the library. Innumerable items went in the box for Goodwill. I like the Summer give away. Mark found the Williams-Sonoma Kitchen Library Grilling cook book which I brought back upstairs. I am so excited because the Fathers Day BBQ present is coming into fruition on the 18th when Ace Hardware has its 25% off everything sale. My plan is Grilled Halibut. Of course I am sure Mark will want Baby Back Ribs. Well now its 3pm and it is time to get dinner started. I like to eat at 5pm and go for walk. I just looked down at my pedometer and I have taken 8,107 steps today. 10,000 steps is my daily goal which is about 3.5 miles.
Happy Summer.

I love that painting!! Simple, beautiful and quite perfect in every way!! Summer has arrived here in Seattle, as well. Our family just returned from a week at Lake Chelan for our 4th of July getaway. It was great! Lots of lake time, some hiking, biking and paddle boarding. Great BBQ's and lots of the card game UNO. The kids love it and we all had a super fun family week. Can't wait to see you soon, my dear. Hope I get down your way before summer subsides. I am on my way to the summer clean-out and give away next week, too!! Love to all of you, Gaelen. xoxo Rachel
