Summer is Moving Quickly!

I am currently attending a conference in Boston. Last week I attended one in Chicago. I also got to spend a couple of evenings with Michelle. We went to Cheesecake Factory, a movie, Greek Town, and Margie's Candy Store--which is really a place to get huge ice cream treats. I just got to this conference late this afternoon--flew through Chicago. The flight was delayed in Des Moines and then again in Chicago with 3 gate changes before we were actually in flight for the last leg of the trip. I started and completed two books during all the waiting. One book was the second in a series (wish I had brought the third with me); the other was the first in a series.
They are:

Two for the Dough by Janet Evanovich
Knit One, Kill Two by Maggie Sefton

The first one is about a bounty hunter and the second is billed as a "knitting mystery". Both were easy reads and it wasn't hard to keep reading until I had finished them both.

Family Updates:

• On July 21, 2008 Brooklynne Rose Miller was born in Minnesota to Nathan and Alyssa Miller. She looks like a doll and now I am a "super-aunt" which is my terminology for Great Aunt.
• Kalub Michael Miller, son of Michael and Kristi Steinbronn, is now walking--possibly more than he crawls--at least when I saw him yesterday he was getting braver and braver about it. He will soon be running after Charlie. Kalub will be one year old on August 11, 2008.
• Charles Robert Fitzgerald, son of Nikki and Matt Fitzgerald, is very active, talking more and more, knows all the letters of the alphabet and their sounds (0ut of order) and is amazing us all with his skills. He still loves anything related to cars.

NOTE: Both grandsons are amazing and so cute!!!
