Greetings!
  
Photo of our kitchen gardenWow, July 7th. Summer's almost half over and I still can't find those two bottles of rose' I hid in the cellar last winter.  It might be my imagination, but I think that woozy-looking squirrel sitting in my radishes is giving me the finger...  
  
Addy's off to camp and we've received the usual amount of mail from him - exactly one letter - "Hi Mom and Dad, please send me some new headphones.  I guess we shouldn't be too offended by his lack of communication. After all, until we got the letter, I thought he was just at tennis lessons...
  
Tons and tons of new stuff in the store. And if I can find it, maybe even a little something cool to drink while you're shopping.
  
Why not come out this weekend for a visit?
  
Warm regards,
Beau
