After an eventful week we are returning to normal

Happy to report that the girls went to school yesterday,

I was worried Sunday evening when our power was still out and 1/3 of the schools were still without power

I told Rob that the girls would be bouncing off the walls

Awoke at 4 a.m. Monday morning when the bathroom light and fan came on

Yahhh for power

No major losses to the yard, a few broken tree limbs, all things we are happy to deal with in comparison to our neighboring states

Can you do the can-can

This is my August life

trying to perserve the fruits and veggies that are so good this time of year

This week the girls helped me w/ peaches, pickles and beets

The beets are for Rob, no one else likes them :)

My garden is slowly failing, stink bugs and powder mildew is sucking the life from my crops

I planted fall veggies a few weeks back, hopefully they will pull through

While they were gone

While sisters were away for the week Jo enjoyed some one on one time
She enjoyed moments of the week but really missed her sissy's

she loves those sisters
I gave it my best shot


Rob and I took her on a boat tour on the Potomac

Amusing sign as we were leaving

Stopped for a treat in Georgetown, I'm not sure what all the hype is over cupcakes

Gave little one a haircut, I was so tired of all the wispies

Enjoying a fudge pop

Our little puppy enjoying popcorn

The Past Few Weeks

Have been a blur...
running from one things to another, all good, all busy, lots of sun and fun

Took a long weekend trip to Deep Creek, MD. Paradise in our eyes. No computer, no phone calls, no to-do lists. Lots of tubbing, ice cream on the dock, skiing, a long bike ride with the hubby, M & S knee boarding, fishing at the pond and fun w/ friends.

Happy Summer

It is running away from me
Back to school before I know it
Just a lovin' these two
