Wednesday celldump #1

Occasionally, I’ll open my iPhone’s camera library and discover I have about 60-80 photos that I never did anything with. They eventually get downloaded to my Macbook, but I usually only post about one of every five that I shoot. The neglect is often just my forgetfulness. I plan to try and post them here once a week (Wednesdays) so that they are not lost into the folder abyss.

Saturday at Bangs Lake

One of my aunts was out of town so somehow we found ourselves with nothing to do and no one to see on the Saturday before the 4th. I had thought about trying to extend our hotel stay downtown, but ultimately I am glad I didn’t because the hotel was filled with over 3,000 teenagers who came into town for a student leadership conference. The wait for the hotel elevator was insane and I was very glad we were only on the 6th floor. (Six flights of stairs are better than twelve.)

My Aunt Liz, sweet as she is, asked her friends if we could join them at their lake house in Wauconda for a potluck and fireworks. The hostess graciously said yes, so we met everyone at a stop before heading over. Thankfully, my aunt has kids near my own girls’ ages, otherwise it would have been kind of a boring event for my girls. We had a good time and the girls got to go tubing for their first time. They had a blast.

Hangin’ in Memphis

Memphis is a great city, especially if you love blues. If you’re familiar with New Orleans, Beale Street is like the PG version of Bourbon Street: excellent food and great music but no b00bies. I had a great time, and the absolute best barbecue (and pancakes) that I’ve ever had in my life.
