Update

(037:  Looking through the window.  Photo © 2009 by Robin)

The distortion in this photo is caused by heavy sheets of rain washing over the window I was shooting through.  I find the effect interesting.   When I have some time I might mess with it a bit in Photoshop and see what else I can come up with.

Update on Mom:  I talked with Dad yesterday afternoon.  He had just brought Mom home from the hospital.  After numerous tests and scans, the results are that she’s still cancer-free and no changes to her heart.  Good news.  She sounded tired, but good, when I talked with her.

M and I are puttering around the house this morning, doing some more after-the-festivities clean-up.  It’s been raining heavily on and off through last night and this morning.  Hopefully it will clear up soon.  We’re thinking about going to Sarah’s Vineyard Seventh Annual Summer Solstice Wine, Art, and Blues Festival.  Since we’re not having our own Solstice party (Party by the Pond) this year, we might as well enjoy somebody else’s.  Whether we go or not depends on friends we’re hoping to meet up with today.  They may want to do something else (M and I are game for pretty much anything).
