days of summer...

Dear Diary:
I am so happy that my friend wrote back, those figs look amazing, even though I don't like eating them. I love that the box says, "produce of USA" I often think that all produce comes from the USA or Mexico, except at this time of year, we have lots of treats ourselves...like Everbearing strawberries, yum.






A couple of days ago I took the kids to Victoria to hang out and go and sail Liam's boat that he made at school. It's really neat. He painted it himself and dyed the silk at school. It was a great day of lunch at Rebar ( I hope Laurel can come with me someday), shopping in the city, flying a kite that broke that we took back to the store and sailing Liam's boat.

Today hasn't been that stellar. Kids are out of sorts, my morning was filled with boring errands, taxes, groceries, picking things up for my class, Gong Show doesn't really do that experience justice.
Speaking of Gong Show's I can't believe that woman in my friend's class, key chain names? How rude and insulting. I think key chain names are great! People know how to say them and how to spell them. I think it is a curse parents put on their children that give them crazy names, especially with silent letters. I mean really, it's bad enough I have to go through life spelling my last name out everytime someone needs to write it down, but your first name too? Is this a new form of evolved snob? Jack is a fine name, it's good, honest and solid. I'm not sure I could trust a Xenaphon, let alone say it.
