If this is Tuesday, it must be….

In the last week, I have been in Massachusetts, Vermont, and California, with two one-hour layovers in Cleveland Ohio and multiple drive-throughs of New Hampshire. How does the joke go? “I just flew in from the Coast, and boy, are my arms tired.”

We are back in Vermont until Labor Day. Douglas is enrolled in day camp at the Vermont Institute for Natural Science this week, and next week my mom joins us and I will be taking some time off.

Some good opportunities for photos though. Check out my Flickr sets to see Douglas swimming at Silver Lake in Barnard VT near our house, some views of San Francisco, Sausalito and Petaluma California that I took on last week’s business trip and the Billings Farm Antique Tractor Parade last Sunday, my perspective and Doug’s.

The winners of A Little Perspective, the photo contest I am doing with Tracey Clark and Sheri Reed, will be announced on the 24th. Stay tuned to hear who has won the neat PhotoJojo camera cases, HP ballcaps, pens and notebooks, Fruity Cheerios and ClubMom water bottles.

Green Mountain State of Mind

We are up at our house just outside Woodstock, Vermont. Two adults, who are trying to work at least part of the day (God bless the satellite dish in the backyard), one Nintendo-addicted 7-year old, four adult Scotties and two nine-week old puppies, one of whom goes to her new home Monday when we get back to Mass. Next week I am in California to visit a client, but come the 18th we will be up here until Labor Day. Same cast of characters, minus one puppy, and for the last week, plus my mom.

I’ll try to post some pictures of the view from our backyard. In the meantime, you’ll have to settle for the record of our dinner at the Japanese hibachi restaurant in Lebanon, NH:

Don’t forget –we are in the final few hours for submissions to A Little Perspective, the photo contest for kids that I am doing with Tracey Clark and Sheri Reed. Get those entries in!!

Doug’s visit with Grandmum

by //

Douglas had a great time visiting with his grandmother in Andover. They visited Strawbery Banke in Portsmouth NH, where this picture was taken, and the coastal town of Newburyport MA.

He also had plenty of time to play computer games with his uncle. And care for his WebKinz. Funny, he had two when he left, a pug and a chihuahua, and somehow a little gorilla came home with him 🙂

More on WebKinz and how kids interact with social networks later this summer, but my experience is not that different from Jeneane’s so far.

More of Doug’s pics here.
