Diane Rehm is my Oprah
I have to admit that when she has authors on it makes me want to buy their books. Twice in the past month and a half I bought a book within minutes of listening to the Diane Rehm's Show. The first was Cokie Roberts' Ladies of Liberty the second James P. Carse's A Religious Case Against Belief. Both quite interesting (at least as much as I have read).

End of Vacation
Well we just could not be more lucky. We had two beautiful, perfect weeks at the cottage (as you have seen). No more pics to post but I will just say that Saturday was another long, sunny, hot day on the beach and we just kept hoping it would never end. Sadly, it did and on Sunday we packed up, cleaned the cottage so my parents could move in and headed home.
Robin headed back to work for a short four day week and I had another few days of leisure. And by leisure I mean doing things around the condo that have not been done in 12 months and hanging with Bailey.
We stopped and saw Patty and Cira (or Kee-Kee)on Friday before they headed for Birchwood. We hadn't seen them in a bit so it was really nice. Patty looks great for being about 30 days from her due date. Cira, of course, is just about the most precious little lady out there.
We spent the 4th with Robin's parents and took Bailey to the annual Lake Orion fair. It was fun but Bailey is not much for rides yet and of course I had to over pay and under perform at the carnival basketball and pitching games. I did win Bailey a blow-up Superman bat and a pink ball (I think they gave me pink to send me a message). We got up this morning and rode into LO for breakfast. Bailey got a little impatient but it was a perfect morning for a ride. A note to all my friends who were so antsy to move out of Michigan following graduation: if you didn't spend a summer here you missed it, this state is beautiful.
I hope everyone had a nice 4th and has enjoyed the daily vacation entries. I will do my best to keep up with the rest of the summer and try to put up more pics from events over the past few months.
