Weekend Away

CP, NS and I had a mini retreat at Mom and Dad's over Independence Day weekend. Brother D and bride A were there to add to the hurrah. Not pictured: NS wading in the creek for the first time, picking lavender, mint, and other garden delights, gathering wild black raspberries (with minimal success), searching the dusk horizon for fireworks (with negligible success), trying to beat Dad and Mom at a game of backyard quoits (similar to horseshoes--with no success!). Considering the fun that was mixed in (berries on ice cream, fields of lightning bugs, campfire on a cool evening, singing and talking) I'd say success is just overrated.
