Happy Birthday to Dad and the USA…

Ross and Owen at Deep Creek LakeWe spent a week with friends at Deep Creek Lake this month.  It was great to get away from the record-breaking heat we were having at home.

A “Derecho” came through our area late last month and left a quite a bit of damage due to fallen trees and high winds.  Granny and Pop-Pop’s power was out for an extended period, so they packed up their freezer contents and the dogs and spent some time at our place.  There was no damage to their house but two large tree limbs snapped off and fell in their backyard.

See you next month...

Happy Father’s Day to Dad and Pop-Pop…

School is out and so are Ross’s braces.  We’ve finished our “freshman” years at high and middle school respectively, and are looking forward to being “upperclassmen” when the fall term begins.

Our pool is now open for the summer and we have been making good use of it.  Granny’s dog Piggy also enjoys the pool.  She likes to drop her tennis ball into the pool and bark until someone retrieves it and throws it for her to chase after.

See you next month...
