Cousin's Reunion and Other Items

Other Items First:

My "Thought of the Week" is in honor of our government in action, especially the DO NOTHING Congress that just left for a 5 week vacation because they "earned" it - NOT!

Oh, did any of you identify Laura/Mom/Grandma in the school picture from a month ago? Haven't heard from anyone on that subject.


2 weeks ago, we were blessed with the birth of Great-granddaughter Kajsa. Congratulations Melissa, we love you both!


Cousin's Reunion:

Oh what a great time we had in Alden, near Torch Lake, in the yard of cousin Bruce & Dorothy. It was good to see their children & families while there as well.

So we had time to sit around & relax, take group pictures, go to Brunch at the Yacht Club, take a cousins picture by the shore of Torch Lake.













We also hit another "festival", this time it was Alden Days, with a parade, including the "band", kids activities, roast beef served by the Fire Department (hmmm, good), a quilt show, entertainment, and of course sales booths, etc.







One night, our entertainment included our own tree climbers,
Regina & Kayla. Way to go girls!








On Monday, we also saw Arlene's son Dane, his 2 children & puppies from Colorado. Hopefully the video of Dane playing with the "puppies" comes through ok.





We are now back at Woodlands on the Lake, relaxing for a few days.

A comment about your comment about your 'thought for the day'...if congress isn't at work to do anything, at least they can't mess any thing up!! :-)
