It wasn't the typical summer for many reasons. The weather was much cooler than usual. We were left with many cloudy, rainy days which really cut into our pool time in June. We didn't make it to the Gillion's for the fourth of July but our celebration was a three day event, none the less. We spent a couple of those days on the lake. I especially enjoyed watching the fireworks from the water this year. During this time period, I began to contemplate a new job.
July was an eventful month. Rick had his second shoulder surgery in six months and I accepted a new job. This meant many changes for our family, including the fact that my summer would end a few weeks earlier than I had anticipated. I tried to squeeze in our summer fun events.
The end of July brought "good-byes." For me it was the end of summer but most heartbreaking was my goodbye to Grandma Young. In the wee hours of a Sunday morning, as we gathered by her hospital bed, Grandma made her way home to be with Grandpa. I knew she was in a much grander place but I did feel like it was an end of some of my very best childhood memories. I spent so many summers with my grandparents. We camped, we spent time at their house,where we played four square in the streets, endless games of marbles and dominos and were fed three very good meals a day. Life won't be the same but I feel so blessed to hold so many wonderful memories of the simpliest, yet best days with two of the greatest people I'll ever know.
Bowliing and trip to Dad's work.
Walk on the trail
Night at the Drive-in
A day with family
