Summer break!

Hi friends~

Our family reunion in upstate New York this past weekend was at my sister and brother-in-law’s house this year, instead of here in Asbury Park, and it was an awesome time. Not just because we weren’t hosting 😉

The Hudson Valley is so beautiful, the cool laid back vibe, woods, farms is a great tradeoff for the ocean. And they’re awesome hosts. About a dozen members of the family couldn’t make it, including a few of my kids and their spouses and kids, and I understand, but we surely missed them.

I’ll be taking a break from writing this week and next week, while we’re hosting 2 tiny grandkids at our house in NJ. I raised 6 kids but honestly I don’t know how I did it and survived – and so did they!

My son, his wife and baby are also visiting, and then we’re heading back up north to the Adirondacks next weekend to visit more kids.

Here’s a sampling of some of the fun this weekend!

Love, and onward~
