My July is Flying By

My Family

In spite of the abundance of rain and hot weather we have endured so far in July, my siblings have been keeping me very busy with family activities. My brother Jerry, his wife Marit and my nephew Matthew visited for two weeks from California and arrived on July 2nd. We spent July 4th at my sister Sandy's house in Redwood Falls.

It was nice to have a sibling photo again so we could all see how old we are getting. When I say OLD, I have a nephew Chris, who is 35 years old and has 4 sons, that makes me feel old.

Cousins

Siblings with Spouses

We played a mean game of croquet and let Jerry win because he was from "out of town." Don and Michele were too busy chasing baby CeCe  around so there was no sibling rivalry game. We were stuffed from eating so much food, everyone brought a dish to share. Sandy created her jello flag desert, notice in the picture my famous deviled eggs. Richard made fantastic burgers on the grill. Although we were short 2 cousins, we also had a great "Cousins" picture. We had a wonderful time, and I want to thank my sister Sandy for making it all possible. My story continues..... stay tuned for my next blog posting.
