I cannot believe that the month of August has disappeared. After the family birthdays in the first part of the month the rest of the days seemed to just evaporate. Here are the highlights of what I remember.
Dan's mom came to visit for a week and while she was here the grand girls came over one morning. Getting Elise to hold still for the picture was quite the challenge.
The Lettermen were singing at the Martin County Fair and we had an enjoyable evening of going over and listening to them sing. We had been to one of their concerts 30 some years ago. They are still singing most of the same songs. It was a very enjoyable evening.
The Shiners' were having a convention in town and a parade. We picked up Mikaela and enjoyed a beautiful cool Saturday morning watching lots of grown men play with their toys.
There were several groups of bagpipers. I love their music and the quilts. They always make me think of our good friends Ron and Janelle as Ron was from Scotland.
We had Elise one afternoon and enjoyed playing with her.
Dan started a small project of placing a retaining wall around the front side of the house. It is pretty much finished except for the filling. I will place an update on this project when it is finished.
We finished up the month with having Tom and Denise along with their family for dinner one evening. For those of you who don't know, they are starting a new adventure as resident directors for Rochester Better Chance. Four high school aged boys from around the country will be living with them and attending high school here in Rochester. You will be hearing more about that as time goes on.
This is a quick look at our lives this past month. God is good.
