Long Time - No Write

I can't believe it is August already.  My poinsettia still has blossoms. 

June and July were fairly quiet.

On June 11th  Bob started serving in the Temple each Saturday.

We went up to Calgary for Lochlan and Keaton's piano recital.  They only had started lessons a few months before and were very impressive.

We went to our final Family Home Evening before September.

Erica came and spent a day with us.  We went out to dinner.  The plan was to go to O'Sho, but they were closed for renovations, so we had to go elsewhere.

On the 17 July we attended church in Taber as Carter was ordained to the priesthood that day.  Darryl and Sue-anne had a barbeque in their wonderful back yard.

We attended the Stringam barbeque on the 21st July.  There weren't many people that we knew.

From July 23rd to July 27th we stayed in Calgary with Orson and Liam as their parents were on vacation.  Jeremy, Julie, Jackson and Mickey visited with us while we were there.   Bob dropped the boys off at the airport on Wednesday so they could go with the pipeband to Maxville.

We got home in time to spend some time with Sue-anne.  She was waiting for her car to be repaired and she had a long wait.  In fact, she had to leave it overnight and come back the next day.

On Monday the 1st, Edward, Jacqueline , Lincoln and Miranda came for the day.  Sheri and Joan joined us for lunch and a visit.  Miranda and Lincoln stayed for the rest of the week.  Miranda went to climbing camp and Lincoln to basketball.  

Margaret and Tom arrived on Wednesday.  Tom went fishing Thursday, Friday and Saturday while the rest of us just relaxed and visited.  Sue-anne, Courtney and Taylor dropped in Friday afternoon on the way to Edmonton.  Courtney had got engaged the day before.  We went to O'Sho on Friday evening.  Edward, Jacqueline, and Austen came Saturday.  They took Miranda and Lincoln home that evening.

After church and dinner on Sunday we went to Cardston and drove by the house where the Baines had lived and looked around the town.  We went to the cemetery to check out Bob's parents headstone.

Margaret and Tom left on Monday morning to go to Edmonton to visit Uncle Doug.

The weather has been weird this summer -  sometimes very hot and then cloudy with rain.  Some places have had hail, but we have been lucky.
