…when our clan makes its way up to beautiful northern Michigan for a week at family camp.
Here is my post from two summers ago — I believe this post gets more search engine hits than any other I’ve ever written. It seems there are lots of people who want to know what “twisted box stitch” looks like, and even more who apparently are looking for material for their own “how I spent my summer vacation” essay.
In my review of The Position I hinted that occasionally I have found it a burden to be the daughter of a professor of clinical psychology. However, it also has some perks in the form of interesting stories that come my way…
Boy, ’tis the season for memes! Ella tagged me for this. Part of the task was to come up with an illustration to go with. I tried to commission my rock star to make me a drawing but he was too busy doing his own thing in Photoshop so, alas, I was left to my own devices. —>

I wasn’t kidding when I said it was probably the most fun I’d ever had writing anything.
