"WE CAN'T MISS THIS concert!" said my yard man to me. "Dawes is going to be there!" So we had to leave today's picnic* early in order to get to the park on time.

*Picnics, picnics, my Dear Reader!
Alas, photos fell by the wayside; it was the third (sensational summer picnic) of the weekend!

SIMPLY PUT, Reader Dear, spontaneous summer
picnics are sensationally satisfying, sewing the seeds of camaraderie
(attracting visitors to the picnic table to help sing Happy Birthday
[to the friend at the table who is next in line for a birthday!)!)
And, oh, the delectable birthday treats (they can be sensationally satisfying too)!

MY SMALL ACTOR is in the area briefly, and spent the day here at my studio! My Little Actor showed up, too! Plus another older child, an active six-year-old. Accompanying them were a few of my grown children, and also my daughter-in-law. So the house (er, studio) was full, off and on (When everyone was in the yard, it wasn't so very crowded inside). We ate breakfast and lots of snacks. We played with toys. We went out the door and came back in the door on a frequent basis (even the dog did this, politely asking to come in by scratching at the door, then shrilly expressing his canine insistence by yapping). We hid inside the sofa (only one of us did this [Er, um. It was not me]). We went to a restaurant for lunch. Throughout the day, I was making some rather important phone calls, for which I went upstairs (I felt it best not to plead with the professional on the other end of the line to please yell what he had to say). And, yipeeyah, we made an astounding number of movies!
(Sequel after sequel to follow...)

OKAY, I'M AIMING TO TELL you m
ore, Dear Reader, about that trip to the mountains, and how we stopped by a cabin whose owner we know (It was not far off our route). Wide sky up above and small lake down below, who'd have thought, Reader Dear, that populating this cabin for the weekend was (not the owner, but) a whole group of folks we could greet by name!
And further wonder of wonders, I chanced upon a chance to take aim at taking aim! What happened was, I asked about the odd-looking blocks sitting out on the lawn, and Fred said to me, "I won't tell you, I'll show you!"
He went for his crossbow sitting there on the porch; he demonstrated it for me.
Oooohh, Reader Dear, my interest zoomed upward (perhaps in an arc) and I begged for a shot at a shot!
Now of course there are lots more little details I could carefully insert into this tale,
but I think I'll just shoot (twice) for the finish:
That's the part where Fred says to me,
"I guess we'll be calling you Dead-Eye Qathy!"
