Amazing Race

I was all ready to hate the beautiful volleyball players and the Home Shopping Network hosts, but darned if they didn't win me over in one episode.  They were so nice to each other AND to the other teams too. And no whining either.  The giggling fit about The Watermelon Incident was my favorite part of the show.

 But surely anyone who goes on Amazing Race knows that you don't stop and help other teams.  You say a quick thank you prayer that it is not you changing a tire, make an insincere offer of help and then move on...Those cute little a cappella boys better get their A game going.

And...

Are you a battlement?

And...

This is the first I have ever heard of Stonehenge.

And Mom's favorite...

The country of London.

...Tattoos...

Summer's End

Well, Labor Day is the traditional official end of summer.    We have autumn, with its birthdays and parent conferences and holidays ahead.  But the kids have good memories of hot days with popsicles and toes in the pool.
