Wingnut Is Back!

Remember when I said goodbye to Wingnut on August 5, 2007? It was such a sad day. But Grandson Wingnut has finally came back! He'll be here until August. We have so much to do that I hope we get to do it all. This is the camera that his mom got him for Christmas. He took the photo in the dirty side view mirror of my car on Thursday on our way to my nephew's house. Wingnut had to stay there for the evening because I teach at the college this summer and Amy was working that night. Amy, Wingnut and the cousins all went out for sundaes in Lyndonville Thursday night after work.

On the left is me on the left and third daughter Danielle, Wingnut's mom, on the right. We were bent over holding Sophie the Crazed Beagle because she wanted to jump. Wingnut got the photo then. I hate the photo — I've been sick (I finally succumbed to the grief and bewilderment of my mother dying this spring) and look bad. Danielle is going to Washington soon to visit Andrew.

So why is Wingnut Wingnut's name? He loves the game Wingnut on my Macs about flying aces. He needed a name for the internets, so that is what he chose. I am nearly healthy again. We missed the Lupine Festival in New Hampshire, the fiddle contest in Lyndonville and the library hours. But we're taking photos and reading a lot of books. Wingnut already has two posts to blog.

So what's up this summer? Andrew, Dan and Matt are coming the weekend of and the week after the Fourth of July. Hopefully Anna and Aaron can come, too. There is a lot of studying to do, reading, library programs (the theme this year is bugs!), Circus Smirkus, trips to New Hampshire and New York, swimming lessons, movies at the library, church, berry picking, chores, games, computer stuff to learn, photography, bike rides, hikes, and working in the school garden. I think that's enough, right? I had better get 100% recovered real soon!
