I don't know if you're a Star Trek geek like me and Andy are, but Data makes some interesting observations about the human perception of time and why we say "time flies when you're having fun." My solution is to go back to simple things like taking long, unplanned walks and blocking out days with no plans (even if it has to be months in advance, they go on the calendar and are sacred!) except being together. When I was a teenager, my Mom used to tell me that I needed to learn how to "just be," instead of filling up every second with plans and social activities. Now I know what she means and why it's so important! The carousel of my life is starting to spin faster and I’m already looking for ways to slow it down.

Soooo jealous. But I have to say, I love the summer pictures up there so much. I watch your slide show over and over and I love the warm summer colors and fun activities. One of these days, I've got to post those highlights on the blog! I'm sure the flowers and summer colors will bring happiness to so many people, namely Brad and Greg, who are wishing for summer to hurry up and for the snow to melt already. Sure wish I could see the girls skiing in all that snow!!! Have a great time! I’ve been following the snow at Sugarbush this week too and wondering if you were planning to go up there. Soooo jealous.

Our plan all along was to make your family love this special place as much as we do! We're (hopefully!) leaving for Claybrook on Friday (34 inches in the last 48 hours!). Can't imagine what kind of pictures you could get with that much snow. Love always, Paige Jules,

There's always a plan for a book. I guess the card embodies the key problem though -- can't get off the carousel long enough for quality writing time. Heavy sigh. But you make me feel so great for saying that! :D Thanks! Barbara, you make me blush! There’s always a plan for a book.

Those song lyrics are so pretty (and I admit, I cried too). I'd be one of the first in line to buy a book of yours. Any plans to write one?

You've inspired me to start paying more attention to my family's cards as heirloom material instead of revenue for the postal service and bird cage liner. Thanks for writing this post, Julie.
