I haven't printed stationery in ages. But I signed up for a gift exchange and my giftee wanted stationery, so voila. I cheated so bad! I bought some letterpress-printed Crane note cards and simply added the monogram using 72-point calligraph initials.
Happy Last Week in July,
Hard to believe we're nearly 7/12ths done with 2015. Speaking of time flying, while at dinner at my folks' place this week, Nana trotted out a box of Lego I played with as a kid. Seeing toys I loved, 30 years later, left me with a wide smile. I instantly started piecing together familiar, but forgotten bricks. Watching the boys enjoy the toys widened my grin. Was nice to see that circle close. Thank you Nana for giving me the same great gift a second time.
If you'll remember my mail from last week... We killed Ellie, the boys' goldfish, in less than 24 hours. Naturally, we endeavor to teach our kids the power of persistence in the face of adversity. So, to that end, this week, we acquired 7 new goldfish and a second goldfish bowl. New fish. New equipment. Same result. 7 dead gold fish, and another gold fish funeral, in less than 48 hours. #BestParentsEver We're going to take a little gold fish break over here.
Was time this week for my annual jam batch. Pluot on Monday and Mango Habanero on Sunday. Both were might tasty if I do say so myself. Come on by and I'll happily share.
Saturday was soccer day. The boys had their customary morning practice, which preceded a very special treat. I was given a gift of four tickets to see Manchester United play Futbol Club Barcelona at Levi's Stadium in the afternoon. As one friend said: "You're setting the bar pretty high there, Mike." ManU and Futbol Club Barcelona are two of the world's most prestigious soccer teams. For the boys get to experience this as their first game was a unique opportunity indeed. The twins had a great time, left it all on the field, and crashed on the train ride home. I was particularly proud of the thank you notes they wrote to their benefactor.
Happy, lucky, and thankful. It's a great way to live.
Have a wonderful week.
Mike

Music is a big thing in our house. It has always been for me, and I am so glad to see the girls growing up with a keen interest.
Having watched Erin enjoy her first year of piano lessons last year, Miranda is keen to learn as well. She had a year of Introductory music lessons last year learning rhythm, notation, a little basic keyboard. This year she is counting down the days till she starts real piano lessons. I can only hope she continues so keenly.
Today she has been back and forwards to the piano, making up her own "tricky music".
This is the way a "note" used to be sent. This is part of a collection of old correspondence, christmas cards, post cards and valentine cards that I've had for years.
It seems I am sooo behind that I lost track of the deadline dates! lol Well I can't post it to the challenge but I can share with my contacts! Maybe I should make a "note" of challange deadline dates!
can you see the rain that looks to be a music note...as the rain pitter patters down, it plays natures music

This is my desk at work. I added some notes to it, so you can mouse over the image above.

Love notes
"El Parque del Amor:"
El Parque del Amor Or Love Park:
Miraflores, Lima, Peru
Love Park is located on the cliffs of Chorrillos overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It's surrounded by walls of romantic quotes scripted in mosaic tiles and a monumental statue of two lovers embracing each other in the center of the park.
El Parque del Amor was an unexpected surprise to us since; it is a on the cliffs overlooking the Pacific ocean devoted entirely to romance.
My last card with this gorgeous butterfly for a while before you all get really tired of seeing it! Details are on my blog:
