Hello, Bumby here.
Yes, it has been a few days since I last posted,and I must confess that I have really missed you all.
I am still ruminating my last post:Unintended Consequences part II.
Memorial Day through the Fourth of July are always filled with the memories of a life past, one that may or may not be able to be recaptured.Every year brings with it the new, mixed with in with the old. WASPs and Preppys are busy about their tasks, of preparation for the summer journeys. Summer cottages must be opened,domestics hired,docks checked, boats inspected and check books strained as we repair what the ravages of time and weather have inflected on our beloved homes away from home.
Our family decided that we would all go computer and phone free for the weekend.My two nieces are for the most part addicted to electronic devices and I must confess, that I experienced a craving….to just look …I’ll be real quick no one will ever know. Once the cravings stopped, Every one was able to focus on just having fun and enjoying each others company. The fare for the weekend was a series of BBQ and Weenie roasts, lawn bowling, croquet, bonfires, retelling of ghost stories, marshmallow roasting. We talked about fishing and boating. Some were going Down East to open Dark Harbor and others were off to Kentucky and Louisiana to open the antebellum’, still others to places around the globe.
This unfettered and unfiltered moment in time, reassured me that WASPdom at least in my corner of the sandbox, and at least for now… in my clan,is still very much alive. I am grateful.
Always Bumby. The Preppy Chronicles
It sounds like lots of fun. And a w/e without computers is good for the soul, no?
Yes, indeed. Thanks Maureen.

Thank you for you interest. I design all my sites, which can be fun but also a challenge at times.
