52nd H Family Reunion

Boy, was it hot! It was nice to spend time with all the family (outside of going to funerals) our newest family member was born a week ago! We picnicked at a new park this year, it was shady, with a slight breeze blowing--before the storm came in, that is! The food, as usual was plenty and great tasting,too! It was fun to watch all the (little) kid's games that our son used to enjoy! One difference this year--the water balloon toss was played by the little kids and the adults!! Everyone had fun and cooled off with those water balloons!! Already, plans are in the works for next year's Family Reunion!

Dog Days of...JULY??

It's been so hot in our area this week! We haven't had heat like this since...well I really can't remember when! It's nice at night, though, we can swim after dark and set our alarm to get up at dawn to go swimming,and be inside during the 'dog'of the day! Makes me wonder what the 'Dog Days' of August will be like and what kind of weather to expect for the coming winter months! Guess I will get stocked up in case we get snowed or iced in! Right now that doesn't sound too bad!! Later-KK

HAPPY DAY!!!

My favorite baseball team-'CINCINNATI REDLEGS' and my favorite 'NASCAR' driver, Ryan Newman won the New Hampshire Lennox 301!! Perhaps today is a happy day after all!!!!

My Loss

Once again I and my husband, and son, have lost a very dear person in our lives.

She was my mentor, surrogate mother and friend for 37 years. She was the constant in my life, through good times, bad times and shed many tears with me.

She was a big part of our lives, stepping in to fill the roll of 'Grandma' for our son, being there for Grandparents Day at school, every one of his 25 birthdays, and sharing every Christmas Morning for at least 18 years.

We were fortunate to spend the afternoon with her, the day before she joined her beloved Husband....now they will never be apart. She will join the list of those who we miss everyday of our lives. Rest in peace M!

MY Apology

OK, so I must adimit when I am wrong! All year (well, season anyway!) I have been saying that a certain 'RF' for the Cincinnati Red Legs is 'OR' (Over Rated!)- much to my Son's disagreement! This has been an on going debate for every game! Now, however, MR.OR has made it to the 'All Star' Game as a 'Bench Player'!! So, now, it is with great sorrow, I must admit to my son that his player is not the 'Over Rated' one. But, I still like my '2B' much better! BP--YOU ROCK!! KK

It's July!

Wow! Half of the year gone already! The last day of June was an interesting one at that!

I held a Bridal Shower for my youngest God-Daughter (at {ages} 35,&37, does one still need a God-Mother? According to both of them--YES! That makes me so happy!) But, I still had time to fit in CC Cookies for my 'Special Guys', as they have been asking for the past 2 weeks, if I would make some for them! Although, it's not like they get them made several times a month!! I even made some for N's swim team's "SENIOR" Goodbye party! Out of all the things I make, my CC Cookies are the standing favorite!

Important dates the month of July are my nephew's birthday, (my late precious pet)Molly Diane's birthday, the Handwerker Family Reunion and a favorite Aunt and Uncle's Wedding Anniversay! Many chances to create at my new hobby!

See You in August!
