Dog days of summer. We have been busy, doing what? Let's see... Darrel asked me out on a date and we went to the drag races and had a blast! Our neighborhood block party was this last week and was a huge success thanks to neighbor Andy. We also had two of our neighbors over for dinner this last week and had such a great time; I am going to do that more often. We are so lucky, our neighbors are also our friends; I just love our little street! I just found out that I get to go to my Grandpa's bomb squadron reunion with him. I consider this a huge privilege and I am so proud and thankful for all he has done for our country. I hosted a bridal shower for my wonderful neice, Amanda. It was great fun and I am so happy that she has found the love of her life. Can I also just say that I have the most wonderful grandchildren - ever!!! Here are pictures of sweet Brooklyn and handsome Eli. Jaymi has started cheer practice and is taking it very seriously. One of my closest friends, Joan, is having a birthday this week. I have BIG plans for her!
