Happy July 4th!

We've been busy these last few weeks. Life does not go smoothly all the time. Pete was over last weekend to do some car work and woodworking. Anne's car stopped working. But...some time later and with lots of effort, it is fixed!


At Paul's house, Skyler fell out of a tree. They discovered on Monday that he had fractured his femur. He spent Monday and Tuesday in the hospital getting two screws in his bone. He is home with a walker and wheelchair. He'll be off the leg for 4-6 weeks. He has a good attitude and manages to hop around quite well.




At Patrick's house, a wind storm came through and a big branch landed on the boys' pole house in the back yard. Well, Pat decided to use the Suburban to pull the branch down and wound up pulling the tree house down with it!!! Ufta!


We all managed to have a great Fourth of July. Larry and I joined the family at Bob Golie's and had a wonderful cookout with his family and friends. There were five cousins there - Linda, Marlys, Bobbi, Mary and Tom. We don't get together very often so it was a special occasion.



Finally, here's a story of perseverance and triumph - Pat's youngest son, Luke, is 6 and has had training wheels on his two wheeler. Well, Friday, he wanted me to remove the training wheels so his brother could teach him to ride the two wheeler. We found a different bike without training wheels and put air in the tires. He took off riding without the 'training' from his brother. He surprised himself and his grandma. We are very proud of his accomplishment!!



HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!
