Last weekend, my husband and I went to Wisconsin to visit his cousin’s son, former Northbrook resident Jason Geiser. We had just seen Jason a few months ago at a family gathering but this time the circumstances were a little different.—Jason was on a 3-week leave from his one-year tour of duty in Afghanistan.

Gosh, I look so good in pink. So does my family. In fact, we are all covered, head-to-toe in pink right now—pink calamine lotion that is! The reason for the calamine covering is we just completed the fourth annual Dubin and Friends Camping Extravaganza. And anyone who was lucky enough to attend the trip received a minimum of 53 mosquito bites per person. (And one of the campers who bragged that mosquitoes never bite him, wound up with chigger bites instead!) Luckily, the fun didn’t end there. In fact, mass biting and itching was the least of anyone’s problems this year.

Last week, I traveled with a bunch of playgroup gal pals to my favorite destination in the world—Las Vegas. As usual, I had a fabulous time. There was one minor glitch though and here’s what happened:
After passing through security at O’Hare, my friend, Betsy excitedly showed us her new driver’s license because her birthday had just passed. “Hmm…” I thought to myself. “I wonder when my license is up for renewal. My birthday is 2 weeks before Betsy’s.” I took out my wallet and looked at my license. “Oh, my Gosh, you guys—my license expired 2 weeks ago!”

A few months ago my husband Bill, my son Andrew and I were staying at a fancy downtown hotel. We were in this really great suite and Andrew was checking out the room. “Oh, look—a mini-vac,” he said when he opened the closet door. Bill and I looked at the “mini-vacuum” hanging on the wall and looked at each other sheepishly. The item on the wall wasn’t a mini-vacuum at all, it was an iron!
