(June 21, 2011) Summer begins here at 1:16 p.m. today.
The first day of summer — the summer solstice — is the longest day of the year.
The word solstice comes from the Latin words for "sun" and "to stop," due to the fact that the Sun appears to stop in the sky. The Sun is directly overhead at its most northern point at "high-noon" on the summer solstice, creating more sunlight in the Northern Hemisphere on this day than on any other.
On the solstice, we also hit the longest day of the year. From today on, the days begin to get shorter.
Summertime is a great time to start a blog. It's a more relaxing time, more laid back, with lots of fun activities to share.

Goodbye to 13
(June 16, 2011) What a week it was! Our 14th grandchild, Marco Alexander, arrived earlier than expected, on June 7, also birthday of grandson James Ali, 6 (missed his party). I spent the week with the new mother's (our daughter) family in New York, then traveled directly to the high school graduation party of our oldest grandchild, Sarah, in Pennsylvania.
We all are thrilled about the birth, since both mother and son are well. But my husband is especially glad now to have 14, not unlucky 13, grandchildren, eight boys and six girls.
It's good to be home and back in the swing of regular life here in bucolic Hunterdon County. One of the first things I tackled was checking out blogs for Recorder Community Newspapers. If you tried to contact me during my time away I was not available, but am now, so give me a call about any Recorder blogging issue.

June
(June 2, 2011)
"June is bustin' out all over
All over the meadow and the hill!
Buds're bustin' outa bushes
And the rompin' river pushes
Ev'ry little wheel that wheels beside the mill."
How true are these Oscar Hammerstein lyrics from the musical production "Carousel." Gentle rains are falling, trees are leafing and flowers are blooming.
June is also a special month for me. My late mom's birthday is today as well as my parents' wedding anniversary. Also, five of my 13 grandchildren have June birthdays and another is on the way very soon, so he too will celebrate his birthday this month.
