The WT's are in the "summer is going too fast, we have to hurry and get things done" mode. There are reunions, weddings, graduations, festivals, going to cabins and traveling. We are having a beautiful summer, wondering if we are in the right northern state.
Graduations and parties are over. Lorraine had a grandson graduate. She cooked up potato salad for 80 people and probably could mix up a batch while dozing off.
Mary is busy with wedding plans, planning another book and working on teaching trips. She will have a private wedding ceremony in August and a reception in September. She is the youngest WT, so she is doing well with everything she has to remember.
Sharon has a new great grandson. She's busy staining the outside of her house. Helen J. has a new great granddaughter. A wonderful addition to the celebration of her 90 years. Pastor Barb is away at school for a few weeks. Joan is in rehab, working to gain some strength back. Helen S. will be moving to be near her daughter. We will miss her.
The 4th. of July was full of celebrations and reunions. More people seem to come home for the 4th. than for Christmas. The WT's have wondered, at times, what we could do to march in the parade. A nearby town has a women's precision lawn chair team, doing fancy maneuvers with fold-up lawn chairs. At various intervals, they sit down and have a drink. We could handle the sitting part.
The music festival has come and gone. The young people, with extreme talent, at the music camp in town are from all over the world. The WT's enjoyed many concerts and an opera.
A Water Carnival is coming up this weekend. Three days filled with tournaments, a parade, music, food, a water ski show and fireworks. Hopefully, one day soon, we will all have time to sit in the shade, listen to the birds or read a book. That is part of summer, too.
