We went to a fish fry last evening at a Nature Center we just joined. The invite said we should bring an appetizer or dessert to share.

Summer is coming at us fast and furiously already: Father’s Day fun, local festivals and markets, lots of hiking in cool shady spots, a fish fry this evening, a splendid day at the pool yesterday, Mac’s swim lessons start next weekend. . .I’m already screwing up the calendar!
