What I Did This Summer…Summer Birthdays…

Oh summer! I do love it but I always feel as though I am rushing, rushing, rushing to squeeze everything in.  Looking back on this summer it seems that I have fit in quite a bit.
There were six  birthdays…
First came both Mr and Mrs R’ s 29th…and they gave us all a special surprise gift as well as their own party on a very hot and happy July day…

Then came Ms O’s 34th birthday party on the beach…after supper at Champlins..

A week later is her husband Mr H’s birthday….We  celebrated at Senor Flaco’s followed by a walk in the park…

We returned from our Maine vacation just in time to get ready for both of my grandchildren’s birthdays…Mr J turned six years old…

and one day later Miss E  turned four years old…

Sprinkled in with these family birthdays were birthdays of friends and cousins…and I honored my sister’s Fourth of July birthday with a glass of wine at her bench.

So many birthdays, so much to celebrate! It sounds like it was a beautiful summer. And I love that last photo of your sister's memorial bench. What a lovely way to remember and honor her.

I see you found a personal way to spend the 4th, glad to hear it.

Uhhhhh, does the comment in photo number one mean what I think it does? Funny, that crossed my mind just the other day, I was wondering......

I just left a comment on one of your photos saying go back to your blogging. I guess I was at your trial blog that I was talking about. But I see you have this blog.
