WOW - WHAT A HIATUS

I knew I'd been missing in action as far as this blog was concerned but some people may be thinking I'm dead and gone.  But those in the know, know a lot has been happening in our household these past few months.  Our Summer has been a whirl wind.  Cathy has undergone 2 back surgeries and recovered quite well - our daughter and her two chillins moved in with us until she can get her feet on the ground.  It's been quite a transition for us old folks having two kids around but it's for the best.

We enjoy outings on the lake and either stop at one of Dale Hollow Lake marinas or eat lunch on the boat. We didn't get to spend as much time on the water as we would have like to but we were out more than last year.

Cathy was in the canning mood this year and we put up bunches of stuff.  She made pickles, both dill and sweet, corn, tomatoes and tomato products such as salsa, spaghetti sauce, whole tomatoes etc., 

green beans, peaches, and pickled and plain beets.  All this and frozen vegetables and fruits as well.

Took a short trip to Florida for our Grandson's birthday - he's 2 now.  We really had a good time and the trip was a welcome break.

Lisa, our daughter-in-law made Kai's cake.  It's a Power Ranger theme

Steven, Jynna Mae, Cathy and Kaylee.  I've got more photos but they're on my Adobe Photo Shop and I can't get them to upload yet.  Seems Photo Shop isn't available for this website.  I'll keep working on it and post them later.  Enjoy...
