Here we are in mid July already!  Where is the summer going?  Such a busy one too!  Took our annual trip to the Northesat Kingdom the weekend of the 4th.  Had a wonderful time with our grandson and family and especially with the two little gr. granddaughters. They are growing so fast and amaze us with all they learn.

Then we spent a morning with my friend Jane and met her daughter whom I had not seen since she was a toddler. That was a super good time and they made us a lovely lunch.  Thanks, Jane and Sharon!
Then off to the top of the mountain to visit cousins, Mick and DonnaMae for the their birthday celebrations and some awesome fireworks displays, eight towns within a 180 degree range of view from their patio !,  Plus the great display put on there atop the mountain by the M. brothers! Thanks guys and also a big thank you to our hosts who put on a fabulous and yummy BBQ.
Then, next day we are off in the Gypsy Wagon for home.  Of course there is always time for lunch at Exit 17 at the Truck Stop!

The gardens are thriving really well, veggie and flowers alike.  We are preparing for a wedding on Sunday... Our grandson Patrick and his bride to be, Lindsay are planning an outdoor wedding.   The bridal shower was a couple of Sundays ago.  Everyone is all excited and we are hoping for the picture perfect day. Last session of therapy this morning for my ailing back.  Sure hope these have cured the sciatica problems!  Now for the final little wait for Pat and Lindsay's big day!  will write of the event and post some pictures later.   Enjoy the lovely sweet summer days The Lord has blessed us with.
