As the end of summer vacation approached last week, Aidan's various attempts to draw amusement out of boredom reached its zenith when he taped his iPad to his body behind a hole in an outgrown shirt through which you could see a progression of bodily interiors on the screen; including, a beating heart, engine cams and sprockets, snakes, and worms. All demo-ed with a zombie-like attitude.
 |
| Aidan liked the worms the best. I could stand to look at the cams and sprockets. |
By the time Monday came and the first "official" school day began (Friday was orientation) it was satisfying to see him smiling at breakfast and climb aboard his school bus.
 |
| This year the bus stops for him at our driveway. |
 |
| And awa-a-a-a-y he went. |
There was one member of the household that last year had to be left behind some of you may remember. Bird The Bird, Wendy's ancient cockatiel that we feared would not live through the journey across the US. It was delightful to get a picture of him from Meredith, who volunteered to be his guardian back in Tucson. He is definitely living the good life with some buddies to keep him company and almost daily strolls around Meredith's home where he has even taken flight a few times. Not bad for our feathered friend who was an egg in 1988. It was good to hear from Meredith, too, who filled us in on happenings there. Wendy, Keoni, Aidan and I were all glad to hear about Bird The Bird.

 |
| Friends. |
 |
| The new fella on the block: Meredith's recently rescued bird; now feathered out after her patient care. |
The season is changing again. Fancy takes in the sun on the picnic table with Wendy's kitchen herbs; so, it is mild weather and a few days of sunshine are happening.
