Family Reunion

Was held late this year, but thanks to the Polar Vortex, the weather was great. Sweatshirts were worn the first night.

We had a cabin that sleeps about 25, with a dock, an island, lots of food and frivolity:

And Horace:

Videos don't post, but he needed Tums by the end of our stay.  Who knew that gators favored treat is giant marshmallows.....

Rainy Sunday

A day of rest; sewing lessons with Rapunzel; power washing the small little porch:

New Must Have Furniture

Late Summer

In the Garden gets a bit boring here.  There aren't a lot of tomatoes, the lettuce is long since done.  

Instead we have eggplant:

Cucumbers:

And peppers:

And the odd citrus blooming, along with some tiny limes:

There's lots of basil and herbs too, so we're not in too bad a way.  Another couple of weeks it'll be time to start thinking about the Fall Garden.

Happy Independece Day!

We all rode in The Hooptie over to our Community College to watch the show.

Oh, there were fireworks too!  Of course set to Patriotic music, broadcast by the College radio station.  

Happy 4th of July!
