Summer Fun

The summer flies by when you are having this much fun! We went to Door County last weekend and had lunch at the old CC Club on the corner of the intersection in Fish Creek. Fantasic lunch, somewhat limited menu, but the view for people watching is great! The upper deck of the restaurant is outside and quite pleasant.
There is not much that compares to the view of the Green Bay and Lake Michigan. We did plenty of biking and enjoyed the view at the beach, the pristine blue water, sailboats, and cruisers.We never noticed all the girls in bikinis! (You know, the ones your husbands never see!)

American Girl Dollbed for an American Girl

The order came from Ella, please grandpa, I need a bed for Julie, my American Girl Doll. It really did not take that long and Grandpa had fun creating it! Computers are truly amazing. Grandpa has designed and built seven beds for grandchildren-the bed for Julie was easy, same design and much smaller!

Do you think Julie and Ella are pleased?

Rain,Rain,Go Away!

We are getting rain, rain, and then more rain. Enough! We are five inches over the average for July and the ground is totally saturated.

All Aboard

It seems that even with time off we just couldn't get around to cleaning the track, re-leveling it, wiping down the train wheels, and get the train running. It is just like a real train, lots of grunt work to get the track and train ready to roll.

Finally, all is completed and we are sitting back on the screen porch watching it snake through the gardens. Some of these are roof shots, Tony insists he won't fall off!

Birthday Surprise

Tony absolutely spoils me!

Mother's Day

I guess I had better acknowledge Mother's Day prior to Father's Day which is just around the corner. The flowers were gorgeous and the candy delicious. The cards meaningful and the e-mail messages heartfelt! Thanks, thanks, thanks, I am so blessed.

lv, mom

Never Ending

The gifts keep arriving, this is rather unexpected and quite nice. I could get used to answering the door with such surprises arriving on a daily basis! Gerber daisies, hanging floral arrangements, and edible creations-yummy! Cards galore with many meaningful thoughts and messages are much appreciated.
