OK,  I will work on getting the day and date correct!   I survived the weekend.   Noel and JoAnn were here to watch over me!    Thank You Thoma’s for a great fireworks show.  It is not often Bartalotta comes to your backyard to put on a show,  it was great!   It was a warm weekend but we spent some time on the water catching some breezes.  Life is good.   Tom and Barbara thanks for the post.   Glad your trip was a great one.  I am sure you enjoyed the time traveling with the family.   And I can’t imagine Tom had lobster more than 3 days in a row…….

And the girls will be home tomorrow.  Their trip is coming to an end.   It sounds like every day has been a new adventure for them.  I can’t wait to see more pictures, everything looks beautiful.   Kathy and Charles thanks again for your hospitality  and I know the girls want to thank you again and thanks to your families.

My evening has not gone to plan tonight.   The warm weather kicked up some storms here in Oshkosh.   I have seen the lake very rough over the years,  but tonight may have been the worst.   They say over 60 mph winds.   A number of branches down, some damage to the wood pile, the aluminum roof on the pontoon started to buckle in the wind gusts,  but the boat kept bouncing and secure.   And lots of rain and hail.   But from what I can see other than branches down I don’t see damage at the neighbors,  hopefully that is true.

So have a great 4th of July.  I am sure my girls will be trying to catch up on sleep after flying back.   We will give them some time to relax!

And most importantly Happy Birthday Mary Jane.

the roof picks up a bit at the front now

Some cutting and rebuilding needed
