Monday, August 17 It was an interesting, very local, quick rainfall. Neighbors less than a mile away didn’t receive more than a few drops while we had a nice afternoon rain – about a quarter inch. The yard was ready for a refresher – and could have used more. I heard a loud noise that I thought was […]
We love you! Grandpa & Grandma
Sunday Evening, August 16 We became part of the surprise when Chris (our daughter-in-law and Jenna’s mother) asked if we would text Jenna on Sunday evening, asking if they could show us their house.

Wednesday Evening, August 4 and Thursday, August 5 Reuben and Judi spent part of the evening (after their day in court) having fun with their children.

Our daughter Deb brought Lydia back to our house so she could help me care for the little ones. Deb rescues many orphaned baby animals during the spring and summer months (deer, raccoons, squirrels, […]
