Summer Music

Staying closer to home this summer we're taking advantage of local concerts and performances. Our favorite folk group is Mustard's Retreat, a duo of local singer/song writers who have a great relaxing way of telling a story.

We attended a concert at Dearborn's Bryant Library Courtyard this week to hear David Tamulevich and Michael Hough perform. The temperature was perfect, the crowd was enthusiastic and best of all it was free. We're hoping to head to Flint this weekend to hear them and other performers at the Flint Folk Music Festival.

Summer Vacation Continues - July

We're having a great summer with cool weather and low humidity; not always the rule for Michigan in July. We *could* use a little bit more rain, but there is wet weather in the forecast for the next few days.

Chores around the house have been getting done, slowly. And as always when one job is finished another two pop up. Today was trimming the hedges and bushes along the fence line. The power trimmer makes the job pretty simple and with the cooler temps and shady backyard it certainly is easier than when the weather isn't cooperating!

We had a great surprise visit from Michelle for the 4th of July and Rhonda's big 5-0 party a couple of days later. She's doing well and plans for her wedding are beginning to take shape. Rachel and Nick continue to do well and the babies are well on their ways.

WHY do the stores have to start advertising Back to School stuff already? I'm not mentally ready to hear that stuff yet! ARRRRGGGHHHHH
