I loved reading this ❤️. I just learned the rules of pickleball, and now I’ve been begging my kids to practice with me. It’s been so much fun!

Love these glimpses into your summer days and evenings. And I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Bel Canto! I had strong opinions after reading that one!

Great post, Fay! My kids have been up until almost 9 every night, which I don't love (but don't totally hate either?) It's not as stressful as the years of 7 p.m. bedtimes. ;) Although there was beauty in that season, too. :) Happy summer, Fay!

Hahahaha---I've been thinking about this, and it makes me want to make a list of the things my kids do that I don't love...but don't hate, like the things I'm finding myself surprisingly amused by? Cheers to living in each season :)

Thank you! I'm such an Ann Patchett fan and embarrassed I've never read it!
