My friend Michelle sent this email doing the rounds.

      Yes, I do. I’m sorry, it’s my fault – I have been sooo busy this past two weeks, I have hardly had time to visit everyone. If I do visit, I haven’t had time to leave comments. And it’s not going to slow down for a while yet.

      I thought summer was supposed to be a relaxing time?

    They’re all good, but I think I like the bank joke best. When my youngest was 3, I asked him if we should make a fruit salad. His thought? Gross! He somehow thought fruit salad meant you mix fruit with salad (lettuce). Yeah, that would be gross.
