Hi...

No we have not fallen off the face of the earth! We have been busy with the yard, garden, and summer itself. We hope that everyone had a safe and Happy 4th of July. We started vacation on the 4th and will return back to work on Monday 14th. This week has gone by way to fast! We enjoyed a neighborhood picnic and fireworks on Saturday the 5th. The fireworks were awesome! However the grand finally did not go off as one of the workers was injured. Please keep Chris in you thoughts and prayers. He has a broken hand and a banged up face from his hand flying back and hitting himself in the face.
Wed. and Thur. my parents were here from the east side of the state. It was to short of a visit but it was nice to see them. We enjoyed Wed. out with the Brown's (neighbors) at Rick's fathers house out at Gun Lake on his pontoon boat. We had 7 adults, 1 child (my nephew Liam) and 1 dog! It was a awesome day! Liam enjoyed himself so much. His sister Josie had surgery on her tear duct that day so he spent it with us and got a lot of one-on-one attention. Josie did well through her surgery. When Charles and Mandie stopped to get Liam after Josie surgery. The twins were proud to show us that they are starting to stand and let go and take a few steps. Wow! How they have grown in the last 10 months.
Thursday Mom and I played in the scrapbook room with her Cricut she brought with her. What a cool machine. Andy and Dad went fishing, caught some but not keepers. They worked on the boat we borrowed from Randy and got that up in running. So maybe I will try my hand at fishing this weekend.
We picked our first green pepper from the garden on Tuesday! Not much planned for the rest of vacation, just enjoying the time off!
