August, new worlds

1 August Mom would have turned 69.
Early-mid August, family get togethers at Cape Hedge Beach in Rockport are bittersweet as Will and Sara prepare to leave for vet school in Minnesota.
11 August Will and Dad embark for Maryland. Jerry and I leave for Balkan Camp in Rock Hill, NY.
12 August Will and Sara, Dad and Al and Maggie kiss Barbro goodbye and embark on a 15 hour convoy of Element and Volvo (does that sound like a cartoon duo to you?) to Indiana, where Jerry's parents are awaiting the weary travelers.
13 August Convoy leaves Indiana for Minnesota.
15 August Jerry's birthday. Dad returns to Massachusetts.
18 August Return from Balkan Camp to see the world in a whole new way, which seems to offer no reason whatsoever to go to work.
24 August Jerry and I sit in as special guests at our new friend Rachel's birthday party concert where she played accordion with a brass band, upright bass, vibe player, drummer and guitarist.
and the month isn't over yet.
