4th of July weekend

Celebrated the 4th of July quietly today with our neighbors, Terry and Linda, and their family.  We have always celebrated the holiday with them since we put our pools in years ago.  Memorial Day was our holiday, 4th of July was their's and then Labor Day was celebrated at the Fosters (Russanne and Mike).

Burt always loved the summer and it's holidays.  Any reason to get together with friends and family in the pool.  I missed him today, he was always the life of the party (at least for me he was).

Say a prayer for Russanne and Mike.  Russanne has been fighting her own battle against cancer since March and just finished up 25 days of radiation therapy.  Mike's Mom passed away this morning at the age of 93.  It's been a tough year for them.  With both of their kids getting married in the next year, they have a lot to look forward to. 

Lots of birthdays this month, and don't forget, Joey is going to make his appearance sometime this month!  I can't wait to meet my grandson.  Such is the circle of life....
