Somehow I missed the chance to blog about a professional weekend of sorts... company picnic at HersheyPark on Saturday and WAHS graduation on Sunday. It felt odd to be with work folks on the weekend, except that we genuinely like our colleagues so it was fun. Mixing spouse with work faces is something that is not really new for us but somehow still feels different and more serious.
Tonight I mowed the lawn - with a gas-powered mower borrowed from friends - for the first time. We don't have a big patch of lawn, but there is something inherently American Dreamy about pushing the mower up and down the yard. Then there's something very satisfying about looking down from the deck and admiring the lush green. After we returned the mower we stepped inside for a very impromptu barbecue gathering to help neighbors eat leftovers, then home for a few quiet hours before bed.
