Hey summer, can you hear me?

We've had a very rainy June -- it hasn't really felt like summer yet. But Molly is in full camp mode and I've been able to play a few rounds of golf and tennis, so we're getting there. Here are a few highlights from June.

Molly graduated from 3rd grade and Riley graduated from Basic Obedience class

Race Against Hate 5k with my favorite running buddy 

Dinner and night out with the fam - a late birthday celebration for ME

Here's some other stuff that I've liked in June ...

TV:
  • The very excellent Chernobyl miniseries on HBO -- intense, fascinating, and very well-acted
  • Chef's Table on Netflix -- these chefs are true artists. I promise, you will feel inspired
Books:
  • Where the Crawdads Sing, by Delia Owens -- a beautiful Southern story / mystery with an unforgettable main character
  • Outlander by Diana Gabaldon -- I'm almost embarrassed to list this, it's a total bodice-ripper, but so good!
Podcasts:
  • My Favorite Murder -- I feel like I'm late to the game on this one. Despite the title, it's really funny. You have to like true crime though!
That's all I've got for now. I'll post again in July with summer roadtrip updates!

A little trip to the Poconos

I always love exploring new parts of the country and the Pocono Mountains did not disappoint. Everything was green and pretty, there was so much to do, and we got to hang out with Jon + Adina for 3 days. Here are a few of the highlights:

Rafting trip on the Lehigh River. Molly was totally part of the team.
