Chill Weekend

Julia is still grinding out her dissertation. There was an arts festival right outside her door over the weekend. She lives next to an elementary school in a really cute neighborhood. She also had steak night with Sam and Hannah and brunch with Bailey and Megan.

Washington, DC, hosted World Pride 2025. The usual Capital Pride Parade on Saturday was transformed into the World Pride Parade. Chad would have loved it. Lisa is in London for work—and so is Kathryn!

Love Wins, Friends, Fat, and Water

I love seeing Julia wear some of my dresses to work. She's all grown up and looks so cute. We went to the Pride Parade--you couldn't help but feel the love in the air. Julia spent some time with her Holton friends and dinner out with William. Check out the big hunk of meat from Wagshals! I refrained from taking a picture of the HUGE bag of "goodies" (as Pam the butcher called it)--fat scraps with a ton of high-quality meat still attached--saved just for me. I have Julia hooked on the good, healthy, grass-fed fat. And another major breakthrough: Steven is hooked on sparkling water. This is BIG! My family knows how to warm my heart.
