On the last day of the vacation, we took the bus into town, which the girls consider an adventure all by itself. At the beginning of the summer I had promised they could pick out a pony at the toy store and then we'd have coffee at the Hema. Mission accomplished in under two hours -- two happy little girls, two ponies with new homes, and one wiped-out mama.


This pretty little reminder that it's still summer arrived in my mailbox a few days ago -- thank you so much, Hetty! It's beautiful!
