This past weekend

Mary and I dropped Sam off at the airport for a week with his Dad and family in Iowa. Mary is going to go pick him up in Iowa on Friday and spend a week in the Midwest playing with family & friends. So, Bachelor week!

ok, that is a gross over-exaggeration. I've filled my summer work schedule to the point of no time ... again. The week will be busy (and fun), but any free time will be reserved for cleaning and fixing up our place. We've been a bit neglectful.

But we had some time for adventuring.

5 cool things we saw this weekend instead of working on the apartment:
1) A dead mole
2) Prostrate, floating newts
3) So many butterflies in STRONG coastal winds (how do they do it?)
4) A Russian orthodox cemetery from a settlement over 150 years old
5) One of the best benedicts ever: shrimp and prosciutto on grits.
