Summer Days



We have been enjoying the nicest summer here in recent memory! I keep waiting for the sweltering Virginia summer and unbearable humidity to set in, but it has just been so pleasant lately!



We took advantage of the beautiful weather this week and met Nana & Papa in Occoquan for an impromptu lunch. Tess was tickled to eat lunch outside on a picnic bench on the same level as everyone else.


Tess got in some good walking practice on the uneven, bricked sidewalks of Occoquan. And of course we had to spend some time terrorizing the ducks and geese from the boat docks.



FYI--Tess is continuing to progress with her walking. Her is video of her recent efforts:



So far this week has been one big party! I went out to dinner on Tuesday to celebrate my friend Annie's birthday (the big 30!). We went to Carlyle for dinner (my favorite) and had Cakelove for dessert (my favorite favorite!). When we walked into Carlyle, Natalie had a serious case of deja vu--she swears it looks exactly like the restaurant in the detective novel she's writing. We all got dressed up and were cursing our high heels by the end of the night. We had a blast together, as we always do.


Natalie, Jolene, Annie, Stephanie, Miriam

Not been a great week for the diet. I'm in desperate need of motivation or at least a swift kick in the rear end.

You are so totally hot, Mimi! Guess that yam mush is paying off...

Good job walking, Tessabelle!
