whoosh!

Wowza, I love times like this, where there are options galore on the calendar. Makes me tired, but there are so many good things going on out there.

Leah's solidly into the lily of the valley section of her Swallowtail Shawl now. She's using iridescent beads in place of the nupps, to add a little sparkle. Can't see them in this pic, but they're in the spaces at the lower section.

Shakespeare performances abound. There are no less than five shows on my calendar for any given weekend evening for the remainder of the summer. After a riotous ukulele band gig on Friday, we headed out for Taming of the Shrew. Big fun for all of us, especially a certain scene involving a ukulele.

While Leah and I were at a bbq at a friend's incredible property (20 gorgeous wooded acres with pond) yesterday, our guys were psyched to meet their peeps for a rocket club launch. Jesse's rockets flew beautifully. He learned a bunch from guys who are more experienced, was able to help some newbies, sold something he made to modify a launch system, and came home excited about new rocket ideas and inspiration.

Quick dinner, then out for fireworks last night. Good fun, as always!

Business name that made me laugh out loud:
