My Kid, the Lawyer

Often, parents say they would like to see their children follow in their footsteps in terms of career choices. Whether it's continuing a lineage of public service, running the store that's been in the family for generations or joining the military, some people fervently wish for their kids to take the same path they did.

Well, not me.

See, my kid is already on the same path I chose.  I'm a lawyer.  When I was a child, my parents said I should be a lawyer....but I don't believe they meant it as a compliment.  They meant I was argumentative and wouldn't give up.  I suppose they thought those attributes made for a good lawyer, but one heck of an obnoxious kid.

I wanted to give orders, not take them!

Friday Fun: Ode to Vacation!

I can hardly believe it's already August.  I'm fighting the temptation to feel like summer is just about over. So, in an effort to boost my spirits (and because it seemed WAY too short), I'm posting the following photographic reminders of our awesome lake vacation in July. Wish we could go back and do it all over again!

I want one of these log benches for our yard!
