Still...

Still, at my age, in the search of the perfect Sloppy Joe recipe.

Still wishing for a trip to visit Gerald & Marydonna near Los Angeles and then a drive to the redwoods.

Still wanting to drive out East, eat lobster and other seafood, visit Ben & Linda in their house, and check out hiking "near" Mount Washington, New Hampshire, maybe even riding up in the Mount  Washington Cog Railway.

Still love going up to Twin Pine Resort with our family and being on vacay the minute we arrive.

First we have Ellery - He was a trooper.
Crosby and Sydney watching Hugh fish from shore.  Tons of time is spent along the shore.
Sydney, Crosby and Hugh excited for a fast boat ride, driven by Andy.  Eli and Ed helping to push them out.
Henry and Crosby.
Raina and Crosby who is almost 3.
I think this is Liz. She and Greg brought a paddle board to share this year.
 Andy getting a new fishing pole set up for one of his boys.
Sarah and Ed.



Still trying to say "no thanks" once in awhile so we can stay home and enjoy summer in our area.

Still worrying and wondering when our family will have Christmas this year since dates got a little confused when chatting took place up at the cottage.  So sorry and sad about this.  Just so that we can all be together at some time that works for everyone.

Still dreaming, and planning and filling our calendar with adventures and loving all of the spur of the moment excursions as well.  This past week for the first time, I ate my dessert before my meal when out for lunch;  had a ribeye sandwich made and delivered to me by Governor Scott Walker at the State Fair; played penny poker; cried twice; and realized that I'm very dependent on my cell phone which needs a new battery so badly that it will not turn on, for me, or for anyone at the US Cellular Store.  An appointment has been made at the Apple Store where I'm hoping for some relief.

28. The Flight Attendant by Chris Bohjalian (enjoyed a lot)
29. Fierce Kingdom by Gin Phillips (couldn't put it down at the cottage but hated that they didn't clear up more things at the end.
30. The Girl with Seven Names, A true North Korean Defector's Story by Hyeonseo Lee, David John (a Bette choice for book club and enlightening to the max). I loved it and learned lots about North Korea and South Korea's differences.
31. In the Bleak Midwinter by Julia Spencer-Fleming (from Sue)
