My Summer Vacation

I am back in Santa Fe after visiting Dad, Mandy and Tim in Maine and Ben's family in Ojai. Ben revealed an adorably perfectionistic side to me while we were in Maine. Dad put the four of us (Mandy, Tim, Ben, and I) to work in the new house closing in the walls and ceilings for winter, and Ben and I took on the task of insulating the ceiling with three layers of insulation the way Dad wanted. Not a nice job, but Ben had an impressively good attitude (much better than mine, needless to say) and we finished the job in four or five days.
After this really nice visit in Maine, Ben and I went to California to see his family. Sadly, neither of us had finished our first seminar reading, War and Peace, so we spent all but one day of our time in Ojai pinned to the couches, reading. Oh! Mandy taught me to knit, and I received further instruction from a close friend of Ben's family...so am now a pro. Send Christmas present requests my way. Probably wisest to request a scarf.
