Summer Holidays

Hi everyone! Just joined the world of bloggers. I've been having a great summer break. It started with a little work however. Nestor and I planted hedges along the east and south side of the fence in our back yard. I then painted the trim around the outside of the windows and our exterior doors. Everything was looking pretty good until a huge storm hit on July 15th. We had straight line winds that blew in and did some damage to my flowers, trees and hedges, however we were luckier than a lot of Bow Island/Burdett and area residents. The storm tore down power lines, uprooted trees, blew down grain bins and took the roof off of several buildings. Pretty scary stuff!



My holidays improved when Cordell and I went to the Johnson Family Camp-Out from July 18th to 20th at Sync Line in Kaninaskis country. We had a great time visiting with relatives. At one point there were about 95 friends and family in attendance. Unfortunately Nestor had to work and couldn't join us.

On July 22nd Cordell and I hit the road and drove to McPherson Kansas to see Jay, Liz and Cheyenne. Nestor flew down a week later. We spent a lot of time playing with our granddaughter. Cheyenne wasn't very fond of Grandpa's mustache and he was determined to get a kiss from her so needless to say the mustache had to go. It took Cord and I a bit of time to get used to it but I think he looks great without it.

My holidays are nearly over as I will be returning to work on August 20th. Oh well all good things must come to an end.
