We are off–we, as in me and four kids, to one Star Island, a rocky crag off the coast of New Hampshire (New Hampshire’s only island!). I’ll be attending a writer’s conference, while the kids go to a half-day camp. It’s the kind of thing that will either go fantastically, or … not. And it’s the kind of place where there’s very limited mobile phone access. Rugged, back-to-nature sort of stuff. I only hope we have a plug in our room…

I’ll probably be posting occasionally via the magic of Flickr and the iPhone (counting on that plug thing). But meanwhile I leave you with glorious summer vacation images. There’s no pool on Star Island. Good thing we got full enjoyment out of this one!

Pure delight.

Love!

Jumpers, one.

Note the well-held breath.

Jumpers two (Cannonball!)

Me--not jumping into the pool.
