Theresa days of summer
So not having had much of a summer makes a person more appreciative of the few warm sunny days there are. It's weekend has been really nice despite the forecasts for thunder showers every day. So far they have not materialized.
Good news from Will re his ministry to the surfers. He said last week he was pretty sure it would be happening, but things are not official until they are official. He may find himself with a lot of visitors after he gets settled in.
The weather was great for folkfest last weekend too. We had a great time. I was so happy to see Dave Alvin so many times and saw very few anemic angst-ridden singer-songwriters of any gender. Also got to see John Wort Hannam quite a few times, including up close and shaking his hand. I also enjoyed my time in the beer tent with Grace and Dallyn. We left about 6 p.m. and as we were driving out of the city we noted the big thunderheads forming. We just missed all the rain. Jennybelle was at ff and said it was pretty hard climbing the hill when it was so wet.
Yesterday was the Brian Mazza trail run out at the lake which Geoff and I (and anyone who is staying here) help out with every year. It went well. We used a new system, an app that times the runners. It was so easy to use and worked well. It is a great event, all kinds of runners come from all over to run around the lake. There are good prizes and a barbecue afterwards.
After the run we went over to Tim's for the baby welcome party. Since it was such a beautiful day, we were all out on the deck. It was a good time. Tim has made his yard such a nice place to hang out in.
Geoff has discovered he likes making jam. The raspberry crop is good so we have lots of jam. Goes well with his homemade bread.
We watched Kane and Grady on Wednesday for a bit. Kane came over in the afternoon to play with Grandpa and Tim dropped Grady off after I got home from work. Kane was in the house and when he came outside he said, "Gwady!" and ran over and patted Grady's head. So I think he is quite happy to have a brother. Grady is growing lots, seems to be pretty laid back ( his parents may not totally agree) and is very very cute.
Looking forward to a visit from Jude next week.

pat pat pat. I remember once asking a friend's 5-year old if his family had pets, and he said, "No. Just a baby."
Glad the party was fun!
A baby is kinda like a naked pet. Just less self-sufficient.
