great climb to the top of Jimmy’s Peak today… Kicked out butts but was an awesome hike.my legs were so fatigued from the incline they were shaking when we got to the car. Mike picked wild raspberries and daisies for me… Keeper. Stopped for wings on the way home and that fixed everything! Life is so so good! 

Judy left to go home this morning after a great family weekend. Mike and I worked on classes in the morning and then took the kayaks on the lake for a spin. Took a hike afterward. It’s been a quiet day hanging out together… Blessed. 

what better place to teach your kid to polka than with the locals at the Polish Festival! Love love these moments!!!! Some of my favorite memories of Mike’s Mom & Dad are of them dancing the polka with all of us kids gathered around grinning at their joy together before we all joined in pairing off to include all the family young and old at family celebrations!. There is a Moulton tradition to keep up… Moulton men got some moves! So much fun to dance with and here comes the next generation!

what FUN!  

spent the day just hanging out with Judy & Mike in the mountains, stopping at small shops and exploring. Came home for a great meal on our porch ( thanks Mike!) and then went to the theater to see Neil Simon’s play “Lost In Yonkers” 

had a great day… Breakfast at a local diner and a ride through the mountains to Williams College for a visit; Art Museum with Andy Warhol Exhibit (very cool). Judy came late afternoon from NY and we picked up Bryce for a family birthday dinner. We ate at the Gypsy Joynt , wandered around Great Barrington a bit and then took  Bryce back to the university. Having us all together tonight was the best gift for Mike! We are so blessed! Wishing you a wonderful next year babe! 

mike and I spent the entire day hiking on Mount Greylock!  Beautiful nature,  layed on the rocks in the sun for a rest at the top, picked wild blueberries in the berry bogs during an unexpected rain storm, and covered a portion of the Appalatian Trail. Awesome day together. We came home, cleaned up, turned on the music and made an awesome Italian dinner together. Great day! 

made it to the Bershires where we will be for about a month. We love the lake cottage and went to tour the area and the campus last night. Spent a great morning together and then dropped Bryce at his writer’s workshop. Mike and I stopped for a coffee and then caught “”Hairspray” at a theater in New York.. 

  . Fun evening together!

family time on the lake, wedding shower for Jillian & Callahan. It has been a wonderful week full of sunshine, sand, laughter, birthday celebrations, wedding planning, great food, and lots of hugs! Wish we all lived closer.., 

Happy 4th of July!!!
