Teenagers!
There a lot of them downstairs. They have filtered in for hours past dinner time, but Lauren seems to be having fun feeding them all. Leslie and I went out to dinner, and are now hiding in our respective offices.
She has made fresh pasta, a lovely quick-cook sauteed tomato sauce with basil from our garden, and two pies [blueberry and peach.] Friends brought things to nibble on like salads, raw vegtables and dips.
This is the way the summer before college should be. Friends sitting in their parent's garden, drinking ice tea or soda eating simple but wonderful foods laughing at any and every single silly statement. It is a time to solidify existing friendships, and to look forward to making new ones.

Ahhh, what a beautiful memory for each member of your family. It's obvious that Lauren takes after you in many ways - Leslie must be so proud of both of you! Don't forget to peek in on Lauren's daddy to see how he's doing with his little girl's maturity and growing up... he might need an extra kiss tonight! :-)
