More summer ramblings…

Maybe if I start writing daily or near-daily, my writing will get better & more coherent.  One can hope.

So, where was I?  Ah, yes, I had just gotten back from spending almost $150 on hoodies in Canada (don’t judge, Roots is the Supreme Ruler of All Things Hoodie).  Another week of rest between event (you know my introvert soul needs it) and here come my parents for a visit!  My dad just got a job working at Pine Summit Camp in Big Bear Lake, California.  I could tell from his demeanor that he was really excited to be starting as the camp manager.  My dad was pretty bubbly (for a Pascoe) and we had a great time together.  Its still weird to see my parents as grandparents, but I like it.  The first morning they were here, I walked over to the guest bathroom and saw my mom, dad & James all standing there brushing their teeth.  It was the most precious thing (also a memory to share specifically for Crystal :) )

When we were in Canada, I was so jealous of Matt’s little sister’s DSLR camera, when I remembered that my Dad has an old film SLR (that I have actually tried to steal many times and somehow he always steals it back).  Well, I figured the iron was hot, with my parents’ moving situation, so it was time to strike!  My Dad brought me not only his ‘86 Minolta SLR, but also HIS Dad’s ‘74, totally old school, doesn’t even use batteries, super-sweet Minolta with Telephoto lens.  I’ve been trying to learn how to use them, and realizing why its so much easier to use digital.  I can fiddle with all the buttons, but I can’t see the results until I have completely forgotten which buttons I was fiddling with.  Oh, well.  I feel vintage and maybe a little Hipster-y.  Please still be my friends.

Still reading?  Good.  My writing brain is tiring and my fingers really want to be pinning (my sewing project, not on Pinterest) & not typing, so the Independence Day Party will have to wait.  xoxo, friends.  Thanks for reading.
