Summer Kickoff: Pool Edition


---


M takes a flying leap from the high dive.


K soars with the eagles.


The kids took a swim, I read a book and took a nap, and J relaxed poolside in the sun during our first pool outing this summer. It was a little chilly, but the sun helped quite a bit and the boys didn't really notice, so it was a success.

After that, we took our hungry selves to Satchel's BBQ on the east side of Ann Arbor. I had a half-slab of ribs, coleslaw, collard greens, and cornbread. The rest of the crew had pulled pork and chicken, with some of Satchel's house BBQ sauce on top or on the side. Good stuff!

We are looking forward to two more days of the holiday weekend, and will try to make the most of the good weather that's in the forecast.

Dad, we're all glad you're feeling better and wish you a speedy full recovery!

I'm currently working on some instruments that belong to the school music teacher. She gave me four autoharps that need new strings, and four Studio 49 glockenspiels that need new rubber tubing (the tubing that the tone bars rest on.) I'm almost done with them, except for one autoharp that uses strings unlike the ones the other three use. My hourly rate for instrument maintenance is zero dollars per hour for music teachers.
