More Treasures from Mom and Sisters weekend Sept 2 - 4
















Aug 25 - Practicing with phone camera




The kids cooperated with me in a playing a game for treats for jobs that they did around the house.  This was a flash back to the "good ol' days" prompted by hearing Brad Eby tell about the "stones" his girls were earning by doing jobs this summer.  This turned out really fun for me.  I got to even give a few kisses!


Got this little coat for Petra at Marshals on the way home from EMU/Sparkling Springs

August 20 Totem Pole

We celebrated Gloria's birthday early by going to see the play Southern Crossings at The Totem Pole Play house.  Grandma was planning to go but unfortunately got a stomach upset after eating out with Gloria the day before.  Happily, Evie was free to take her place.

Sept. 17 - Race Day and Craig's Birthday

6:30 in the morning.

The running team from our corner:  Larry Mancini, Daryl Lehman, Linden Showalter, Josh Pool (my nephew)\


Mom is eating breakfast waiting for the first runners to pass our house.  Video camera is ready.


Petra's ready to get picked up to go to her soccer game in York.



8:10 Linden shows up and detours to hang his jacket on our lamppost.




Holi got these pictures along the trail.







10:28 I come out the house in time to see Linden at the intersection of 3rd and Clayton.


On to the last segment winding around in town before the finish at the town square.

Finishing!

Linden stops his watch as Bob snaps his picture and the timer to the right shows Linden's time for the race.  Job well done!




Back to the house for lunch and Happy Birthday to Craig.  Mom made him a family tree chart.

Back to town for Awards!


Linden got 3nd, Daryl and  Larry 2nd, and Josh 1st in their age groups.
