BACK AT IT: The kids and Christian arrived home last night, with loads of dirty laundry, a few mosquito bites and good memories of their trip.
Some of those good memories include songs 'round the campfire. Here's one.
LONG LIVE THE QUEEN: On a hot July afternoon, 33 years and what feels like more than a lifetime ago, I was super pregnant with my first, sweltering through a hot summer, but was so lucky to have cable TV, so that I was able to see a once-in-a-lifetime event.
The occasion was Live Aid. It was a dual-venue (Wembley Stadium in London, JFK stadium in Philadelphia) benefit concert, organized by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise funds for relief of the ongoing Ethiopian famine.
I was glued to the television for the entirely of the broadcast.
There were so many wonderful performances, but one group absolutely stole the day.
Full disclosure: I am a big time Queenie. I have loved the bad forever and a day. But on this day, Live Aid, they SLAYED it.
You really should watch this. I've seen it so many times before, but we watched it again today.

Long live the Queen.
