COW POOP
Hope everyone has been super busy (in a good way) getting outside and enjoying summer. I am beginning with the most recent photos and working backward. I do appreciate the family members who are so faithful in sending photos. One note on birthdays: I'm not posting the Allen family birthdays any longer. We all know whose is when and that way I don't have to worry about forgetting someone!
Dianne (Mary Ann's daughter) has not been feeling well lately so please remember her in your prayers.
Now, on to the POOP!
A Late Birthday Lunch for NANCY
Patty decided (on the spur of the moment) to treat Nancy to lunch at the Country Kitchen and invited her sisters to join them. Cathy and I came along. We had a nice lunch and then headed to JENKINS' FARM MARKET. They have wonderful local produce, jams and jellies, cheeses, baked goods, etc. It was lots of fun. Summer's harvest is in full swing here in western NYS!
Patty is ready to make pickles, with her huge bunch of dill. She makes all kinds of jams, too. It makes me look very lazy! Meanwhile, Nancy is pondering what baked goods to take home with her.
Iced sugar cookies in the shape of butterflies.
Corn and peaches---two of our favorites.
Don't feel like making your own jam? Not to worry . . .
Cathy was preparing for granddaughter Kiera's fourth birthday party in two days and knew that the cookies would be a hit with the kids.
Yes, Cathy, we know you are special:)

Loaded up and heading for home---we'll be back!

Kerry Finishes the BIG Project.
It looks like this elementary school cafeteria will be serving up a lot of seafood!
As always, GREAT JOB, Kerry!

Andrew's friend got two great seats to a YANKEES' game. The seats were in the "Legends' Box."
The bathrooms ain't too shabby there---a TV showing the game is inset in the mirror so you don't miss a thing!
Up close and personal with the players.
Living legend Reggie Jackson says hi to Andrew.
Big brothers help Sean with his "build-a-bear" project.
I took care of "Radar" while they were in NYC. They picked him up early in the evening and headed for home, making a quick stop at DEAN'S ice cream (here in Bath) on the way.
"Radar's" reward for being a good dog!

For ANIMAL LOVERS
"Scruffy" enjoying the sunshine.
"Ronin" enjoys hiking almost as much as Brett!
This hiking trail even has an OUTHOUSE!
Brett has some fun with "Ronin,"---a "PAW SOX" HAT (AAA baseball team) and a cool one---ha!
And. . . .
"Bruiser" loves to play with the little froggies that he finds in his fenced-in area. The only problem is that he plays a bit rough and they die on him. Then he gets upset and cries because they won't play anymore!
It's belly up for this guy!
NO, THEY ARE NOT ANIMALS :
. . . but I forgot this pic from the graduation party weekend.
Timmy, Roy and Kevin. A good lookin' bunch!
MORE PICTURES SOON!
