Heater is in!

 Our heater was about 25 years old, so we decided to replace it now, rather than wait til it goes, which would probably be on a cold winter's day. So we called our HVAC guy, and signed a contract in May. The unit came in in June, and was delivered to our basement. The company finally had a break from air conditioning emergencies, and installed it earlier this week. Another project done!


Page finish! I think the bottom left corner took as long as the rest of the page! So many colors in such a little space! I'm about 75% done at this point. I then took a couple of days off to read the new Patricia Briggs book, which was fantastic.


Just Donald in a birdbath, nothing unusual.


A morning visitor! It's mom was there, off to the left, eating my bushes and lawn.


July was a slow reading month, I spent so much time doing cross stitch and having the kids here.



Ali sent me the first couple of pix that she took, I can't wait to see the rest!

August!

 It's been so hot and humid! Too hot to go outside unless absolutely necessary.

We had such a wonderful week with Manda and Steph and families! Manda and family got here July 18, which meant that Amary celebrated her 9th birthday here!






Of course there were 3 cakes! A Sweet Eats cake of chocolate with orange creamsicle cream, a carrot cake, and an ice cream cake. Lots of gifts and fun. 





Trips to the shore and the Aquarium with Aunt Heather and Julianna. 








And of course a big family party to celebrate our 50th anniversary and being together! 

Amary declared that she wants to spend her next birthday in jersey, but to stay two weeks! We're in for it!

The camera pix and computer are back to talking to each other, yay! Posting without pix just didn't seem right.
