GOT IT!!!
For those of you who I tell how funny it is to watch the cat jump at the fish tank, Dan was finally able to get a picture. Lightning usually runs away when the camera comes out, but this weekend, he was really hamming it up!

Another Busy Weekend!
We have been quite busy this summer and it's been a great one so far. Last Friday, Grandma B turned 80. We spent the entire weekend celebrating and we are now recovering! On Thursday night, Randy & Pat flew home. Friday morning, we picked Tim & Nadyne up at the airport. We later went to Monical's (a family fave plus, they don't have them in Florida), then to Rocky Mt. Chocolate- yum!! Connie had a cookout that night.
Saturday night, the entire fam went to Bernardi's (another family fave!) and celebrated Grandma's big day. Sunday, we had an open house at the Community Center for her. We had a great turn out and it was a nice day. We followed it up by a pizza dinner. Later, they fired up mom's firepit and we had a fire, complete with s'mores. Yum!!
On Monday, we toured the local windmill farm, it was cool (see pics). They were working on some of the windmills, so they weren't turning. I wouldn't want that job!!! We then had lunch at Green Gables- Mmm..
On Tuesday, everyone headed back home. It was one of those sad days when you realize you've been looking forward to something for a long time, and now the time is over. Between all the celebrating and running around, it went by way too fast!! We had a lot of fun while everyone was here. We're looking forward to next tme already!!

Happy 4th of July!
Hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th! It's raining here, so not too many outdoor festivities taking place in this area. We are planning to go to Bloomington, then to our friend Gerard's for margaritas & a cookout (or maybe a cook-in??)
Last night, we went to Roanoke to our friends, Jeremy's & Sonya's, for a cookout. We saw lots of people we hadn't seen for awhile and had a great time. We all went to the Roanoke car show after dinner, then watched Elvis perform, then watched a very colorful and nice fireworks display.
After the fireworks display ended, an older lady in an old car that had been parked a few spaces away from where we were sitting, pulled out to leave. She must have gotten her foot stuck between the gas and the accelerator as the car "stalled up", then sped straight into the crowd right across the street from us. She hit several people, one of them was stuck under her car and she was still on the gas. Someone shut her key off and several of the men from our group ran over and helped to lift the car up while others pulled the man out. Several other people were hurt as well. We just found out the man passed away on the LifeFlight helicopter to the hospital. It seems pretty surreal, like something you watch on tv, but never expect to happen "for real". Our thoughts and prayers are with the injured, their families and the others who saw it happen.
Stay safe everyone!

One crazy weekend
My cousin and her son & daughter were home from Virginia this past week/weekend. There was lots of cooking out, shopping, and unfortunately for the little ones, kickball with Dan & Bevans :) No one was seriously injured tho, except maybe Dan and Chris who aren't used to keeping up with lots of kids! I think they have both recovered and getting ready for another "round" in a few weeks. Danyl and the kids left Monday morning after lots of sad goodbyes. We miss them already! My cousin Sarah's daughter, Brandi (yes, she is named after the coolest person ever-haha!! :) came home with them and will be staying all summer. It will be nice to spend some time with her as I haven't seen her in several years (since Tim's college graduation- what a trip that was!! ;).
At about 10:30 am Monday morning, our phone rang. It was my uncle Randy who drives a veterinary clinic around the country to horse shows for a group of veterinarians. He was passing back through, so we all met for lunch. He had been in town a few weeks ago and we got to hang out with him for a few days then, too. This is Randy on his first trip through with the clinic. It is pretty cool! He has to have some mad driving skills, too, as this truck is ginormous!!
Hope everyone has a great night, I'm taking my tired self to bed!
