Mind full.

A collage I donated to the American Cancer Society's Hope Gala. In memory of Max.

My 2010 Prius is MUCH smarter than the Smart Car.

And at 49 miles to the gallon, 25$ to fill up and a solar panel that cools the car when parked. Way greener, too. :)

Katrina remembrance.

We marked the 4th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina with a visit to Lake Lawn Cemetery's flags installation. Each one marked a life lost.

We also made 100 PB&J's for the Desmond Project, which feeds the homeless every Saturday night.

A week in Wellfleet, MA. Cape Cod is heaven in summer. Oceans, ponds, clam strips, lobster rolls, wrestling, canoeing and hanging with the family.
