turning 30 and other thoughts

Yumie is turning 30 this September. M2 (mom two), as I am referred to, is happy to report that she has landed a full time position, in her field. I haven't had many chances in my life (less than a week away from getting my senior national park pass) to boast of children's accomplishments. We have had some good ratters in our household, something that does have some benefits, but we have lived through many of our friends listings of their children's accomplishments with patient ears. So this is my turn. Congratulations, I say.
And oh, turning 30, I vaguely remember that. I think that is when my knees started to go.

Now more than a month into the summer, the Leo birthdays have become, and the time seems to speed up. My blogging has slowed down, not for lack of subjects, but the inability to get them, as we used to say, down on paper.
Perhaps a listing of topics might work. I have subjects from the last two trips we took, and a trip to the Exploratorium with my 7 year niece that could be blogged. And then there always is the piano shop, which is currently bursting with pianos. But since this blogging business is supposed to be fun, I will just let the summer pass, almost unreported until my computer, words, and time all merge.
