A River Odyssey
July 2025
This July, Bud and I taught summer school, we avoided the midday heat but enjoyed early morning walks on weekends, River did a lot of Legos and looking at books, the kids rode bikes in the driveway, we did some home-improvement projects (mostly Bud with me as the assistant), we pushed the kiddos in the Mattapoisett 4th of July Road Race, Eleanor turned 3, and Jack took his first steps (among other fun and mundane things).
