Welcome to Part 1!
June 2012
My large and incredible family got together, as we do every June, for our week at the beach. Over one hundred of us descend upon a tiny beach town in Southern New Jersey. We meet on the beach each day and sit together in one big gathering. Talking, laughing, reminiscing. There are parties and traditions and it all adds up to one thing: a magical week.

Our living room makeover project finally drew to a close. We couldn't be happier with how it turned out.
| The new bar and cabinets were built in a once useless corner that housed a dumb table and chasable dust bunnies. |
| The new bookshelves we had built brighten the entire room, and moving our TV to above the fireplace opened up everything. |
And lastly, the Apocalypsies signing event at the Philadelphia Barnes & Noble turned out to be a fun day, meeting new people and hanging with good friends.

Hey, I've met all the people in that last photo! Cool! Glad you had such a great summer. Love your living room makeover. And,um, that giant hand in front of the fireplace.
My summer had some highs and lows. I'm looking forward to fall. Favorite moment? Gosh. Probably seeing Mt. Katahdin in Maine.
Joanne: Thanks! Maine is one of the states I have always wanted to visit. The beach towns there have developed a mystical quality in my imagination.
