Summer was rich and memorable for the Ingrams. The highlight was our son's wedding in a lovely rose garden in Middletown, CT on June 30. The attached photos show yours truly, hand ever so casually in the pocket, reading something I wrote for the ceremony. The second photo is my son, Miles, and his bride, Kate, leaving the ceremony to the tune of "All You Need is Love." Wonderful day.


A few weeks ago, I took a job as executive editor for social studies at Quarasan. Folks may know of this Chicago-based development house. It's a cool deal for me. I work remotely (location, not personality) at home three weeks a month, then a week in Chicago. So far, so good. I can't say what projects I have on my plate at the moment, non-disclosure and all, but I can testify that it doesn't look as good or read as well as our beloved national program--whereever that may be.

The Summer of '07 Rides into the Sunset

How Joan spent her summer vacation.














Here are a few photos of my marvelous three weeks in the Oxford Summer Writing Program.I was at Exeter College. Its dining room (or Hall, as the Brits like to call it) is the inspiration for the opening scene in Phillip Pullman's The Golden Compass. Scenes from the film, which opens in December, were shot here and in the garden. And the food was good too!

Best,

Joan

September 15: Heather Klinkhamer, Jane Huntington, and I visited Stormking, an outdoor sculpture museum, on an excruciatingly gorgeous afternoon.










eeeek!

September 16: So, I took advantage of getting into the Bronx Zoo with my company ID. It was difficult (with my feeble photography skills) to take pictures of distant, moving animals, while standing behind glass, screens, and millions of strollers. But you get the idea...

(By the way, what is up with weekend subway schedules?! I spent three hours in transit! Sheesh!)

Ourania's Adventure

Hello Everyone!



Hope all is well. I just got back from Greece and thought I’d share some of my pictures with you (I took nearly 500 shots but won’t subject you to all of them).



All in all, the trip was great! I got to spend time in Corfu with my father and plunged into the beach daily. I’ve gotta tell you, there’s nothing like the beaches in Greece. The water is crystal clear. To get a better idea of what I mean, pour yourself a glass of water. Look into it. Now that’s what you see when you are standing in the sea up to your neck. It’s amazing! Best of all, for all you weak swimmers out there – you can swim without being swept away by massive waves such as the ones that attack you here on the Atlantic Ocean.



After Corfu, I hopped on a plane and headed to Thessaloniki (AKA Salonika). I spent the day there alone, in a beautiful luxury hotel with a room facing the water. What a place! The shopping is unbelievable! It’s the second largest city in Greece and my first time there. Very different from Athens in that it’s slightly more compact and as I said, shopping everywhere. I loved it.



From there I took a bus to Kastoria to visit my cousin. This is a town that was built around a large lake. The name of the city comes from the Greek word for beaver. Not far from the lake is a river that at one time was home to tons of beavers. But of course the city became the fur capital of Europe and now there are no beavers left.



From there I went to Larissa, another large city on the mainland not far from Mt. Olympus. This is the breadbasket of Greece. There are plains as far as the eye can see, growing the majority of the crops in the country. Here I did some more shopping, ate some fabulous food and visited with Andreas’ parents.



Finally off to Athens, by train. I had a crazy and wonderful time with another cousin of mine here (I think I have more cousins than anyone else I know, honest.). What did I do here, MORE SHOPPING! I don’t generally like to shop but when you find things as fabulous as I did in Greece you just have to suffer through it. The best part is the way they live, you wake up go to work, have lunch (around 2pm), then nap. Some people go back to work at 6pm for another 3 hours while others leisurely plan their evening. I was on the leisurely side of things. After dinner (around 10pm) we met up with friends at one of their homes and figured out where we were going for the evening. You see in Greece, you don’t step foot into a bar or club before midnight – it’s just not done. Of course, if you don’t start your evening until midnight, you’re not getting home before 3 or 4 am. Then the whole cycle starts again! I loved it.



Anyway, that’s it for my trip to Greece. Hope you enjoyed the story of my summer adventure.



All the best,

Ourania
