Finally time to write again after a wild and crazy weekend. My parents came down from Seattle (Port Ludlow) to visit us (the grandkids). I probably should have taken the camera for at least one of the three days, but oh well. :)

We saw the Jordans yesterday, and they let Dane smoke some trout in the much-talked-about Big Green Egg. But again there, no camera.

So I'm failing in my duties here, but at least I'm still writing, right? I should at least get credit for still writing more than once a week. Yay for me.

Anyway, not much coming up this week but Romy meets with the school psychologist Thursday and Friday, and then Dane and I talk with the principal and teacher after she's been officially tested and everything. Most likely, though, she'll start first grade sometime next week. Hope I'm ready by then. ;)

Well, happy Labor Day to all from the Startups (me). Poor Dane's out laboring today, but hopefully he'll be home pretty soon. I did make a nice family dinner, but he sort of missed it and will have to do some microwaving. I managed to save him the last of the beers, though, and made him a scary-looking strawberry struesel, so that's festive and, hey, I tried.
