Hey there....
I made some raspberry jam this morning and am now working on the computer.......it's a sunny, but windy day here in the U.P. The flowers love the sunshine and we've had plenty of rainfall, so life is good for the plant life!
Yesterday, my friend, Barb, and I checked out a new luncheon place....the Irish Rover......nice place and good food. Then we picked up some raspberries and checked out the Farmers' Market. Lots of people in town.....fun time in the summer!
Kirsti and I hung out with Stella and Spencer last night.....first, we went to her friend's wedding, and then we went to a "pig roast" / summer party at Carrie and Colin's house....they have a big summer party every year....complete with a live band ("Trailer Hitch") and a "bouncy house" for the kids to slide down!.....Then we took the kids for some dancing at the wedding reception.... Whew! Stella sure likes to dance.......she dances circles around the rest of us! Mike was busy working on the house project. Their house is almost completely painted on the exterior....and he's adding on a wrap around porch....quite the project!
Dom is heading out west on Thursday or Friday..... stopping in to see the Trina and her crew in Minneapolis ....then on to Brian's house in Omaha......and then to DJ's house in Winter Park. He'll be back on the 18th.......he plans to do some hiking, fishing, and visiting with family and friends.
Meanwhile back at the ranch....I'm planning to do some house cleaning and organizing....I still have to go through my "teacher stuff" that I brought back from my classroom. Much of the good stuff will go to the grandkids and I'll have to decide what to do with the rest of it!!!
'hope to hear from some of you who read this blog........?????? Later......
