June,July,August -where did summer go?

Summer has just about flown by us.

Karen has another week and 1/2 of summer camp to go. Bobby is still searching for work, summer ball is over and fall ball coming soon, but not soon enough. Bobby has done some work for neighborhood , and painting for homeowner , to earn some $$$, as well as calling ball when the rain would allow.


We celebrated Danes 1st Birthday - the boy does not need any toys for sometime to come. And yes he still loves to eat, and eat.

We spent a weekend in Charleston SC recently, ate fresh local seafood at a place that was not much more than floor, and walls , chairs and tables that came from yard sales or where ever, but the food was GREAT. Had a boat ride around Johns Island complete with a guided tour of sorts. Saw the house that was used in the movie "Paradise" with Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith - and where they went to church and the swimming hole from the movie. Saw the "Angel Tree" a huge sliver aok that is several hundred years old, with branches wider than people, and is supported in places. The tree is so big that a family of 4 and 1 dog can stand in front and the tree is still the main object.


Nana and Opa B. came down and stayed a few days on their "Southern Vacation". After hearing of the history making trip south, they were glad to be off the road for a few days.Of course we had a BBQ, (like Bobby needs a reason to fire up the grill)and all of the Clan's that could make it came and made a DAY out of it. We really enjoyed having them stay with us, then off to the Beach they went. Hope their trip home was uneventful.

Danny ,Jackie and Danes new house is more awesome than the picture shows, - beautiful back yard for Dane and the dogs. And a plenty of rooms inside. Dane may wind up with a toy room up/down stairs. We may have to move our family gatherings there- plenty of parking . Congrats on a wonderful new home .



Sorry no pic's at this time, maybe after our upcoming vacation to Va and Md later this month.

All in all we still feel blessed with what we have and continue to help others as we can. But most of all we tell each as many times as possible each day that " I LOVE YOU", we know that does not pay bills, change or make things go away. But here in Planet Howard, we have what we need.



Love to All - and remember the grill is always ready to go, so come and kick your shoes off and stay a spell- see ya !
Bobby & Karen
