Sunday, July 14

The weather was perfect for Sunday night's picnic. A wonderful and varied group of people joined us for a Chicken Barbeque meal and visiting in the back yard: we were honored to have Carl's orthopedic surgeon here with his wife and children, as well as some of the first responders who were at the accident scene last summer. Many of our family and friends came too, we felt blessed to have you here! I have posted some pictures below.

It was a lovely evening for a picnic
