It's apple season, albeit a crappy one in Vermont.  But my favorite apples have my father-in-law's face on them!  (He'd just finished sky diving when that photo was taken.  And yes, I'm wearing Bebe Z in a pack and she's pulling my ponytail.  This is a good photo with narrative.)

Last weekend we surprised OPA by bringing 40 of his friends to a house in Jamestown and doing silly things like jumping off of piers, jump roping, lobbing water balloons with a sling shot, and bobbing for apples.  I'm posting a video below because I'm totally proud of the fact that I bobbed for an apple while wearing a baby.

Side note:  Anyone bobbed for apples lately?  It looks easy, but I felt as if I had momentarily waterboarded myself.  

Here's to distracting parties, harvesting, canning, long hikes and everything fun that keeps you from writing.   The cold weather is coming.  We'll be inside soon enough.
