Corny Holidays

Brits do their holidays one of two ways: the find a place inside their country that might get some sun, or they go to a place in Spain or Italy that definitely gets some sun. We opted for the former and went to Cornwall, the part of England that's on the far southwestern side.

Cornwall's interesting because it's half remote farming and artistic community, half major tourist destination so it's clean enough to be comfortable and authentic enough so that you don't feel like you're being ripped off for your overpriced food and drink. The weather was decent for a couple of days and great for a couple of days, so we got some good beach time in and did some hiking around the area. It was one of those 'let's not have a plan' vacations, intended to make us forget about our jobs and get us the heck out of London. Success on both counts.

Also, we went to a castle that is only accessible by foot at low tide. How cool is that?

If you're interested, there are pictures on my Flickr stream.

OK, now for the news update-there is no news in Conifer to report at the moment! The kids are all enjoying there time off from school. Ben and I have gone to a local lake(o.k., no laughing from the folks back East) a few times to crawdad fish and swim. Mike has been on the road a lot, and is ready for a break. Our big project for the summer is going to be fixing the septic tank-yuk!
Oh, yes, for those of you wondering where Who's your Baba? came from-I saw it on a t-shirt at Beirut Restaurant in Toledo. TTFN! Terri

Hi Everybody!
Happy 4th of July and hope you all have a great day.
Love, Terri

Happy Solstice

Elizabeth and I took a trip to Stonehenge for the Summer Solstice last night. It's one of the four days a year (solstices and equinoxes) when you're allowed to walk around and touch the stones. Very fun. Pictures on my Flickr stream.

Another generation heard from. Don't have a lot to share as I drown in a sea of paperwork. Am happy to report though that I will be going to Denver to see my sister, Hagbag I, in July. They promised me no snow...but also no beach. Love to all, Ragweed I

Greetings from Ohio!

Hey you did it. Thanks for setting up the blog for the family.

I really want to see what is going on in the family. When everyone came out here for the funeral there just wasn't enough time to see what each of your families were up to.

This is short. I am off to the office/den to finish my research exam. More to come...

Hope the trip back home was good for everyone.

Hugs,

Terri Camp
(Nick, Molly and Alexa say hello too.)
