It's been and continues to be a busy summer! Had a family picnic here, so much fun to see every one and my daughters came home to help me get ready for it....couldn't have done it without them! And dear moi and his family finally came to visit...loved seeing them and miss them already.

Have been without a provider (Comcast...we bundle with them...phone, computers, and TV's.) for four days. They have (imho) the worst customer service in the world! Finally they came last evening and it only took ten mins to reconnect the wire to the pole...said it probably blew off in the storm. ~sigh So grateful for public radio and a smart phone (too small a screen to read and post here)

Aug. is looking equally busy with trips down state, and to N.Y.and Wisc.

Mark you can understand busy...*grin. Nice to have word of you. I wish poo..ac would ck in.

wren, enjoy the corn!!

Hugs for the room.
