My last post highlighted my top 3 favorite times of the summer,
but there are so many others that are worth mentioning too.
1. Max Restaurants "Chef to Farm" Dinner at Graywall Farms
For Father's Day, the kids got Vance tickets to "Blues, Brews, and Barbeques",
a dinner catered by the Max Restaurant Group at Graywall Farms in Lebanon, CT.
It was a fabulous evening that included a reception with appetizers and beer,
a tour of the farm, dinner, and a demonstration of how the cows are milked.
2. Cookout at Kerry's
Kerry and Mel invited family and friend (Lucas) to a cookout on their deck.
The food was good, and so was the company!
3. Alice's 85th Birthday
We celebrated my mother-in-law's 85th birthday with close family friends.
4. We celebrated Harry Potter's birthday with a cake competition!
5. We moved Adam into a new apartment in NYC.
Adam is still living in Harlem, but in a larger, very nice apartment
with his new roommate, Shreyas.
6. We moved Annie into a new apartment in Rochester.
Annie is now living in a huge 2 bedroom apartment with her roommate, Sabrina.
I've never seen such tall doors!
7. Vance and I went to a James Taylor concert at Fenway Park!
8. We did some painting.
Kerry repainted a flamingo lawn ornament left by the prior owner of her condo.
I repainted an old Cosco step stool that I found for free on the side of the road.
It is now in Annie's apartment.
9. We played pickleball.
It was the summer of pickleball. I play a few times a week at the YMCA and I love it. So I introduced it to family and friends, and they loved it too.
10. We had fun.
Taking the doggies for ice cream at Kloter's.
Pillow supplies at JoAnn's Fabrics.
Breakfast with a special friend!
Any time spent with Momo is special!
UConn Dairy Bar.
Time with the doggies!
Kerry officially became a UConn APRN student and bought
everyone in the family something from the coop (for good luck).
A timed pepper-grinding contest.
Kerry loved the pillow I knitted for her!
End of the summer family breakfast at Kerry's (after she
got off the night shift at the hospital).
