Aliyah and Cameron just left. Minnie is off to the laundromat because her washer just died. I would've helped her out, but the pump on our hot water heater just gave out, and will need to be replaced along with the boiler. There goes the emergency fund. On a lighter note, I just finished a great book entitled, Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature Deficit. It is SO true. When we grew up on Lake Michigan, our weekends and summers were filled with swimming, fishing, skating, skiing, hiking, stories around the campfire, climbing trees, 4-H and girls scouts. Nowadays, kids play video games and go to computer camps and weight-loss clinics, and many take anti-anxiety and ADHD meds to boot. How sad. The book is full of positive ideas for change. Gretchen, I think you especially would enjoy the book, because of your psych work with children. Check it out. Author is Richard Louv.
