Hi Everyone,
We’re back and we had a great time. The chalet that we stayed in was so charming. She had it decorated with a nautical theme because of the tradition of ship building in the area. There was a beautiful deck that faced right on the lake where we spent a lot of time. It had a fire table for the chilly mornings and evenings. We rented a pontoon boat one day and the kids had fun jumping off that into the water. Except for Kendall who stayed back at the house. We did see more of her than we usually do though. I think even she had a good time. it’s hard to tell with a teenager. lol
This week the kids are off on another adventure with their other grandparents who have rented a mansion to bring their kids and spouses and grandkids to celebrate their 50th anniversary. I know one of their kids wives and and one kid came down with covid last week so I hope no one else gets it and ruins their trip. it’s so hard now to make plans never knowing if someone might come down with covid.
We were lucky that we all stayed healthy before our trip. We had very nice weather too. I think it just rained once and not for a whole day. It’s a touristy area but even though it was July 4th our area didn’t seem over crowded. I think some of the other towns on the peninsula are some of the more crowded ones so I’m glad that we stayed where we did.
There’s a rocky area on the edge of the lake and the kids were invited by the people that own the house to paint on the rocks so they had a great time doing that. Greg and Piper even went kayacking in the double kayak. I am terrible at remembering to take pictures of stuff but jenny took photos of everything.
We barbecued on the 4th and the day before but the rest of the time we went out for dinner so Jenny and I really appreciated that.
We spent evenings watching movies and playing games so that was nice as it was something that everyone could do together.
So I’m up for doing it again next year if Jenny and the kids want to.
At one of the places where we ate the waitress called Greg a stud muffin so we got a lot of mileage out of that. lol He said if he had a nickel for every time he’s been called that he’d have a nickel. lol

yep Adele, you sent me a prayer card. I believe we talked about it in an email a while back.
It’s hard to keep everything straight. lol

Hi Adele,
I do not watch The First Ladies. I think it’s on showtime? it seems like we already watch too many shows that I can’t keep up with lol
I hope you two are doing well this weekend and just resting and relaxing.
Not seeing the kids tonight as Jenny is a bit under the weather. Had a negative covid test so that’s good.
I told everyone to get their sicknesses over with before we vacation. lol
it cooled down a little but will get hot again soon.
Tried a new restaurant last night that I had been wanting to try for a bit-was not that good so we were disappointed.
Not sure what dinner plans are for tonight since we aren’t going to jenny’s.

Hi Adele,
Glad to hear that Gary is home.
How did you like AGT last night.
I liked the autistic guys that sang imitations and the ventriloquist.
I can’t believe that they passed through the little girl who sang in that loud scary voice. That’s not talent. Anyone could do that for heaven’s sake. Sometimes the judges are just dumb.

Colleen,
How are you doing in the heat? Be careful.
Well the guys don’t sing all over anymore as the choir has disbanded. That was an older picture that I just ran across.
I am staying in out of the heat so we skipped the soft ball game last night. We will try going Thursday.

DD,
Good to hear from you.
We could use some of that rain this way. It’s pretty dry here. And hot.
I won’t even go out in it.
We were out when the hearings were on so we didn’t see them.
I just hope something will happen where Trump can’t run again.
it’s scary to think that people tried to overtake the capital and so little happened to them.
This was an attempt at insurrection and I’m surprised that not more people were horrified by it.
It seems like more people paid attention to the trial of Amber heard and Johnny Depp then they did to crazy people trying to overtake the country.
that really says something about priorities in our society doesn’t it.
Okay-off the soapbox-but I do worry about the future of this country.
We seemed to have strayed from the idea of community and helping others to the idea of it’s all about me.
Have a great day and stay safe.
Gail
