This taken from the upstairs window. That’s our neighbor, Bob, pulling out his dock. Another angle, sigh. But we did have a good time, cards, and deep fried cheese curds, movies, the video games, the art projects, and even some running around outside in the rain.

It was awesome. It’s a private school, so there was a church service, which we enjoyed with Dannell’s mom and t.c. and m.c., very nice. After that the kids did a musical program, different grades took turns singing. We loved that, very fun. Then afterward lunch in the big, sunny dining room, also spectacular. the

It was a pretty quiet weekend at the lake. Thursday night at bedtime, the kids were begging for this guy. His parents are high school friends of John and Dan, and they’re good natured. Even though it was almost ten at night, I called, and they said sure he could come with us. Now do

Well, that’s actually pink yogurt. There’s the Say Cheese smile, both of them. That blurry spot is from my fingers, apparently from the cheese string I unwrapped right before this. And a little video for fun. Julia’s eating a bowl of leftover hamburger helper heated up in the microwave. When I asked her how it
joe and heidi cutting flower in the garden We had a great weekend with my parents, got to see my grandma, and Saturday the big kids came. Very nice.
