Last dog class for Edwards and me today at 1700. We have loved every class and he has been excellent ever since the introduction of the pinch collar at class #2. He is a big furry boy, evidence of this fact is rolling in little clumps on the hardwood floors. He is undergoing a minor diet change this week as he will not be getting the last bite of Barry's poached egg each morning as Barry is at Camp Bethel for a week of Bible teaching. He will go to Wundrland tomorrow and Wednesday while I am at work in Manchester and then Thursday and Friday while I am in the ER he will hang out in North Chittenden. . .don't forget to come get him Joel! Poor Joel (or Christine) will come down to the ER parking lot and retrieve him from my car at 0645 and then bring him back again at 1900.

The baby orioles have flown. Little sign of any activity around the nest. I was hoping they would raise another family. Saw a beautiful Indigo Bunting this morning on my drive out to Fair Haven.

Those are blueberries on top of the honey on top of Grace's toast. She seemed to enjoy the combo. . .breakfast at Grandma and Grandpa's is always an adventure.

Grammy Camp!

I am sure you are wondering how we at our advanced age could manage four active youngsters here at the lakehouse! Let me just tell you, it wasn't hard at all.

Our Rhubarb Visit

We went by Joel and Christine's to pick rhubarb a few days ago and found children scurrying around. The clothesline had fallen dumping all Christine's freshly washed clothes onto the ground and some into the muddy brook runoff . The big girls had picked up the wet clothes and Gracie had decorated herself with lots of clothespins. Obie was busy with his tools working to fix the broken line. It was quite a cute picture.
