Summer is here.. school is over and my daughter has finished middle school and will begin high school in the fall.   The 8th grade graduation dance was full of beautifully dressed young ladies, and a few "nicely" dressed boys, all getting a chance to say goodbye to their friends for the summer.  The middle school feeds three different high schools.. so for many it was a last chance to see some of their school friends.  They loaded them up with caffeine and sugar and sent them home at 10 pm.  I wonder how many made it for the last half day of school that Friday?  ;-)

Last weekend AM and I attended a wedding for a coworker of mine.  It was a fun time, held in the Belvedere in Baltimore.  This building used to be a hotel, but is now condos.  Between the building and the Sinatra impersonator.. it seemed like we had traveled back in time a bit.  

Father's day was another horse show in the morning, the daughter was in with some older kids and ended up with a 4th place ribbon.  She was a bit under the weather.. having been sick on Friday and Saturday, but she persevered and did her class.  After that we headed down to AM's for a dip in the pool and dinner out with a group of fathers.  The bluegrass band that was playing had the older folks entertained.. the teenagers.. not so much.  

Now on to the summer vacation, farm runs, margaritas by the pool, and more... should be a great summer!
