Fishing and life

Yesterday, Paul went fishing, we've been spending more time near the water, a lake or river...

This is the Roebling bridge that connects Ohio & Kentucky, it was recently renovated, but originally built in 1865 by John A. Roebling and is the prototype for the Brooklyn bridge, which was completed in 1883 and his son Washington Roebling was chief engineer.

This little girl on the right is now 1 year old! my littlest niece!! That's her 12 year old sister & her oldest sister will be 14 in a few days.  

And another niece.  Today is this sunny girl's 7th birthday!  August is the biggest month for birthdays in our family.

Cousin fun.  

We picked Olivia up from band camp & got to see the show.  She's in the center with a flag and did such a great job!

The theme of the show is "the British are coming!"

There is a Beatles song, of course!

Our oldest niece is 27.  We had a lovely time at their wedding reception last week!  She and her husband were married in June in Alaska & are moving to Alaska!!

It was also my 42nd birthday!  My girls gave me each thoughtful gifts.  A Navajo turquoise ring from my husband.

This beautiful rose bush was from my mom!

Watching big sis work with band & colorguard from the bleachers.

The first week of August is international breastfeeding week!

Newish logo for Virgil's.  The man's beard looks much more trimmed, his hair is cut, the girl's holding a puppy instead of a doll and a few other little changes, but to be perfectly honest the root beer itself has lost some of its unique flavors.

Back to school shopping. I love getting such great prices on crayons and pens, glue, paper, et cetera.
Today, we are going to have a busy day.  Art class is my highlight for the day.  I'll be making popsicle stick frames with the children, for a 4 x 4 photo or mini work of art. Life is good.
