Red flags at the beach today, because of rip currents and rough water. We adjourned to the pool, sipping pina coladas under a blue sky flecked with clouds, and splashed until Finn’s eyes got heavy. After a long nap, she got right back in the water and had to be dragged out for dinner.

Elsewhere, Texas is on fire and our hometown is underwater; news reports show a river down Main Street in Elicott City. Hopefully there will be a house to return to.
