Some Some Summertime!

Hello dear family!
Signing on in sunny Saratoga Springs this week -- feel like a nomad -- a few workdays in New York City -- a couple of inspiring weeks, working and writing in Middletown, and then a quick drive up Route 87 with Erin to stay another 2 weeks with Riley, Nicholle and Matt. It's already been a sensational summer -- and I don't think summer "officially begins" until June 21st.
That's an auspicious occasion in our family --as most of you know -- not only because it's the longest day of the year, and referred to as the summer solstice, because the Sun is at it's closest apex to Earth -- but also because that's the day Lucile and Jimmy decided to:
choose one:
1. tye the knot
2. begin the first day of the rest of their lives
3. bury the hatchet
4. settle down
5. pitch in
6. walk the plank
7. walk down the aisle
8. commit themselves
9. merry
10. all of the above
I thought it would be interesting to our Venerable Mother if each of us could send her a card on June 21st -- NOT an "anniversary" card -- but an "appreciation card" in which each one of our favorite memories about their marriage. My favorite memory was when Daddy bought a speed boat and taught me and Joel to waterski -- I think Linda, Glenn and Lucille were still too young. But, it's my favorite memory of their marriage because, even though Mother did not know how to swim -- she donned a life-vest, put on those skis, and let Daddy drag her around Biscayne Bay on her fanny just help us kids get over our fear of learning to ski!!!!
Great cooperation on our parent's part!! and, sure enough, me and Joel learned to love waterskiing!!! I know our children will have very different memories -- but, I think it will be a BIG HELP to our Mother/Grandma/ Great Grandma, to revisit some of our favorite memories and bring a new light to her mind!
Thought for the day -- It's always helpful to light up your mind with Happy Memories!
I have so many more memories to share -- and news, too -- most of it currently concerns my WONDERFUL WRITER'S WEEK with Erin Elizabeth Brown. Remember these names, because within two years, Erin Elizabeth Brown and Camille B. Morgan will be alongside J.K. Rowling and Daphne Du Maurier !!! Love hearing from family.
Thanks, Kelly, for getting our blog up!!! Loving thoughts to all -- CBM
