The adults have had NO time by themselves so Kat, Chrissy and I took off to Montauk to sight see, eat and shop .. and of course girl talk … for a few hours. It was nice indeed and nice not to cook! I tell everyone all the time I’m not too sure my family misses me when I’m gone, as I do travel a bit, but they sure do miss my cooking. Of course it’s me too but one is more clear than the other. Ha. Nice lazy day.

Well Lincoln and Sierra turned 8 today. An entire day all about them, what fun. We went to the closest city and let them shop (Lincoln all about toys and Sierra all about clothes) and then we ate and took a boat tour in the bay around Sag Harbor, NY. What fun. Then we returned home for cake and ice cream. What a great day … nice.

Well been offline for a while but not because I’ve been sitting around and eating bon bons. My sister and a longtime, dear family friend came in on Wednesday the 28th. The kids and I went to the airport, went to eat, then came home. Chrissy noted it was nice to be with the Tyners in a house in which we didn’t have a crisis. She’s been there through all of the family traumas .. along with my baby sis … and it is nice to be here and just enjoy.

We all woke up early then the kids and I fell back asleep. Then we had to do a mad dash to get to church on time. There’s a very blind curve pulling out and I did in fact pull out in front of someone, never saw him, bad curve and blond car with all the foilage .. thank goodness he stopped. Laid on the horn heavily, rightfully so, but at least he averted my error. If there had been a place to stop I would have pulled over and apologized to him, I was clearly wrong and I told the children that too.

On the main highway we were able to pull out and several cars separated us. I thought that was the end of it. We got to church and headed in. Damn if the Associate Pastor doesn’t take the pulplit and talk about the close call he had that morning and how glad he is to be in church. The same guy. I was mortified! Just couldn’t believe and made a point of laying low. Gosh what a morning …

Then off to eat and a movie and back home before the big storms hit, gotta love those summer storms.

This has been a lazy time so not much to post. Swimming, eating, cleaning and some sight seeing with the gang has been about it. We took the children on the two ferries – the way I go when I’m headed to Connecticut – and they thought that was more than cool. Sleeping in and roasting corn, swimming and eating is a fun way to spend the summer.

Love being up here and having a church we enjoy. We drive to Southampton, only 15 miles away, to attend the oldest Presbyterian church in the United States. Neat, ld building and the children’s church is very cool. Enjoyable day with the gators and learning what they learn. Asking Lincoln his favorite part always results in typical boy responses like “the food, the snacks or the playground” but that’s allright, it’s getting him into it all.
