Tasi, Rachel, Alex, Katy, and Devin here for the weekend following the annual Tarrio family reunion at Anne’s place in New Hampshire.  Tasi and I (with help from Chree) finished putting in the copper heat shield behind the sauna stove.  That evening, the boys and I made sure the shield was working properly.  The kids enjoyed a day of canoeing and dumping Dad into the lake.  The boys and I also had a marathon game of make-up-the-rules-as-you-go-along bocce ball.  One of the standing house rules is that, if you hit the house with a ball, that ball is disqualified.  Unfortunately, the ball that landed, rather loudly, on the standing seam metal roof, landed right over Chree’s head.  She was not pleased.  We players, on the other hand, were hysterical.  Whatever you do, don’t tell Dad… who happened to be the person whose throw didn’t go exactly where planned.
