Labor Day Cookout

What: Labor Day Weekend: Hiking, Kayaking and a Cookout
When: Saturday, September 1, 2007
Noon for hiking and kayaking
4 PM for cookout
Where: Lynda’s house and Speedwell Forge Park
Lititz, PA

Enjoy the last weekend of the summer (without fighting the crowds in the state parks or at the beaches)! We will meet at noon at my home in historic Lititz and leave for Speedwell Forge by 12:30. Once at Speedwell, you can hike, kayak or both (there will be extra kayaks if you do not have one). We will then return to my house around 4 pm for a cookout.

For the cookout, please bring a dish to share and a beverage of your choice. Lynda and Marie will provide hot dogs and hamburgers. S’mores may also make an appearance! Backyard games (croquet, bocce, ladder golf, etc) will be available; please feel free to bring your favorite game from your collection to add to the fun!

Based on your schedule, you may attend for the visit to Speedwell Forge, the cookout or both. You and your guests are welcome!

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT TO COME FOR PART OF/ALL OF THE FUN!!

Parlez-vous français?

Andrew doesn't volunteer much about what happens at school.

Me: "How was your day?"
Andrew: "Pretty good." -- This is not just a typical response. It is his invariable response.
"Did you do anything interesting?"
"Just the usual."

So we were completely baffled when Dave got an email from his French teacher that read, "The award ceremony is tomorrow night in Passaic." Passaic (NJ) is not that close and we already had other plans for the evening so there was no way we could go, but I still wanted to know what it was about.

Me: "Andrew, do you know what this is about?"
Andrew: "Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you that we took some kind of national French exam a couple months ago."
"And ... ?"
"Well, they announced at school a few days ago that me and some other girl scored in the top 5 students for New Jersey."
"Why didn't you tell us?"
"I just forgot."

I felt terribly deprived of a good opportunity to swell up with maternal pride. But at least I can brag to you folks about it! (Thank you for your tolerance.)
