the week of July 26 - Aug 1st 2009

Well Today I got to talk to Weston and Zachary. They are doing

good. Zac said he wants to go back to Camp Cherry Valley for next year's staff. They only have 2 more weeks and then they will be home, it is crazy to know that the summer is in the last month, and time has gone by so fast. We took a short weekend vacation last weekend and went shopping for school clothes at the factory outlet stores. I got Zac several aeropostal shirts I hope he likes them. It is always hard to know when you are buying clothes for

teens. Luckily Zac is not too picky. So we went to our community

celebration and parade this morning. It was the best parade I have ever been to, seriously! They threw so much candy out at us and even water and otterpops. Tim got a t-shirt and some of us got water bottles We have a local nursery that drove by with tractors carrying flats of plants and flowers, We got several flats of flowers, i came straight home and planted them, it was awesome. Michael played his bagpipes in the parade with the bagpipe band and they were actually last, it was awesome to hear them coming down the street. it is great to live in such a small

community. We are going to the local rodeo later this evening. I am excited for that. I like to watch rodeo's but I hate to see the cowboys get hurt. They are having fireworks at the end of the show, I Love to watch fireworks up in the sky. My sister Leda and her family just moved back to our county, it so nice to get to know the kids and them again, they have been back east for 10 years and we have really missed them. hope you have a great week. Soak up the sun while we have some! (it seems that winter always comes too fast!)
