Thoughts at day's end: I can hardly believe the second "J" month has arrived. Two graduation ceremonies this month, then father's day on the 21st, and we leave for family camp that afternoon. Camp at Catalina Island is a place with no phones, no cellphone reception, no roads, no Internet, but fabulous food, great recreation, and lots of good memories. Our family has been going to Campus By the Sea since summer of 1980.

If you have not yet seen On Maple Creek's journal for today, I highly recommend it.

Good night for Southern California.
Rosie (& Mr. Fun), aka Carol
