Just rambling on a Tuesday morning

We are having a new friend come over on Friday, someone I met locally who is also anti-adoption and who happens to have six year old twins. I'm sure Rylie will have a ball with them. I'm a little nervous, and I want to come up with some more things for them to play outside in case the weather is nice. We usually just go to the pool when we want to be outside, so we don't have a lot in the yard. Thinking of the pool reminds me that I might want to order some treats for Friday.

I'm thinking about ordering some of these gourmet brownies or chocolate chip cookies for dessert. Our friend/pool lifeguard and his wife make them and sell them online. He's brought some of them to the pool for us to try -- the kids loved them and so did I -- as much as I ever love cookies, anyway. He says she also makes soft gingersnaps, and those I think I would really like (maybe a little too much)! I think I'm going to try to order some of Corina's goodies as holiday gifts this year. My grandparents would love them and I think they'd make a great hostess gift for some of Mike's family parties. I never know what to bring -- I can't pick out wine to save myself, and I don't usually have the time or inclination to do homemade things for people I don't know that well.

I really can't believe I'm thinking about Christmas already. This summer flew by. I'm so glad that we're not going on vacation until September so that at least it'll feel as though our summer lasted a little longer. We'll be on a cruise from September 9th until the 15th, then we're going to Maryland for the Motocross des Nations the following weekend. It should be a good month.
