B. Treadwell goes to Princeton (so to speak)...
Good morning, all-Suzanne, I'm glad to see the "comment" section is finally working. I had to fiddle with the settings a bit so that anyone could post a comment without having a password and log-in name.
Last night the weather was muggy, but clear and it seemed the perfect day for a bbq (see previous post about no good bbq). So, we pulled Mr. Treadwell's grill out of the barn, attached the propane, and grilled some asparagus and beef tenderloin. Margaret made a shallot sauce and prepared some bread, and we had our first, official cooked-at-home meal.
News around here is centered on the RNC. There were several "demonstrations" yesterday in NYC, of course given favorable light by the media around here. Although when one reads the stories, they are left with the impression that the people demonstrating either had very little else to do on a Sunday afternoon, or are too stupid to reproduce (not the ones marching for "peace and justice," of course).
Mag is off to work right now, and I'm about to go through the daily grind of GRE study. She's coming back tonight, but will spend Tuesday and Wednesday nights in Fairfield. She has Friday off this week (actually Friday is "work from home," but...).
The big task for today is to build some shelves in the living room, so that we can have candles, don't you know? Of course, this has to be completed, stained and all, before Jennifer and Ed arrive Saturday because they have such "cute" decorations in their house. I think we call this "keeping up with the Wagners." Oh, and the only tool I have is a drill. Should be interesting.
We would really love to know what is happening in the lives of our families, so drop us a note, leave a comment, write a letter, or yes, even call.

Dear Ones in Princeton & Waco,
Our first attempt at "blogging". (Great way to communicate).
On the health front in San Antonio, Fred seems to be returning to normal. He had a second bladder scan today and drove himself to the appointment.
Last night was quiet here. No church at FBC, just an outdoor service and baptism in Boerne Lake. Sara and I did the spiritual thing and watched the finals of the Olympics.
It has been hot and stuffy here, too, just like Princeton and Waco. The locals have always said that San Antonio has two seasons, summer and Christmas Day.
Hope the pet sitters in Waco are doing well. The only pet to come our way this week was a large garden spider crawling up my leg this morning when I watered plants. I decided against housebreaking it! We'll be interested to know whether John or Margaret will be the one to floss the cat hair out of Calvin's teeth!
Anxious to hear about your upcoming week-end plans with the 2 Wagner families.
Best wishes to all of you!
Ken & Sara
The task of "keeping up with the Wagners" just got harder - while I was in DC for a meeting yesterday, Jennifer unpacked five or six boxes of trinkets that have now been sprinkled about the house in strategic (and of course attractive) locations. As Jennifer pointed out last weekend, the house has a slightly different feel than it did a year ago...
