Seasons come and go!

Time for blogging again.  The summer came and went,  what summer, you ask? did you do anything this summer of 2009?  Not the best summer weather, only few really warm hot days, kind of a bummer.  But always a busy one, where days fly by, and you wonder where it went, and you're looking @ fall, and know that will soon be over.  and you ask, where did that go?
A wrap-up of summer  then:

  My annual physical showed no surprises, all is well, no new symptoms of heart disease, acc. to my cardiologist.  I met several times with fellow nurses who are retired for coffee, and caught up with all their lives, spent one day with Terri and Ruth, for lunch and shopping spree in St. Cloud, visiting a new place "The Depot", which has some very neat stuff in it.  Reminds me of the Cracker Barrels store.  Celebrated Alaina's birthday @ Games Lake, @ a pavillion, and let the little ones swim.  I remember it was a beautiful evening. Earl worked thru the summer @ Walmart, and was glad to leave it behind in August. He had his 65th birthday this year, and so sorry to say, but there was no celebration done. The 26th of July, our 17th grandchild was born to Danielle and Shawn.  Liam Sidney Gort was 7lbs. 8ozs, and 19 3/4" long. We visited them right before our trip to Baltimore, on their back porch, among the grape vines, and apple trees.  What a precious baby boy.  Our trip to Baltimore followed that week, for Earl's ship re-union.  We met up with our navy friends from previous reunions, and took the train into the harbor, and Lexington Market, and had the best crabcake sandwiches made.  Then we arrived @ Julie and Greg's to celebrate all the girls birthdays @ a park, near their home.  Many family and friends were there.  It was hot, but thankfully, we had some shade and breezes to make it bearable.  We spent one day with my sister Ellen, and another, with Sandie, swam, played volleyball in the pool, and admired her new kitchen.  The week flew by.  Speaking of kitchens, we have been working on ours, a little at a time, as time and money have been available.  I'm so proud of having a husband who can do so many things around the house, and we have done all the work so far ourselves.
Here's some photos of our summer:
