Where I come from...rain is a good thing!

Rain may be a good thing but I am sick and tired of it....again this year. We have had so much rain that working outside is almost impossible....and we have SO much to do before showing the house. It has been so wet that even on days when it isn't raining it's nothing but mud in areas we should be concentrating on.

This is a rather blurry picture of the "Bounty" which has been sailing the St. Lawrence. It was built in 1960 to be used for the movie Mutiny on the Bounty....a beautiful tall ship.

Congratulations to our nephew Paul Karpel...Paul graduated from Owego Free Academy last week and will be going off to SUNY Oneonta this Fall.

Our nieces Janna and Evelyn (sisters) embrace after a long year away. Evelyn attended SUNY Potsdam for her Freshman and Sophomore years and will now be transferring to SUNY Oneonta for her final two years. Janna will be a Senior at Owego Free Academy.

We had Emma for 3 nights last week....what a lovely young lady she is turning out to be. She has matured so much this past winter. She loves to come to Grandma's and Pop's and have candlelight dinners with classical music. Her choice for this one "spaghetti"....

She has started her guitar lessons, and played for me and Pop....index, middle, index, middle, index, middle, index, middle...SO funny!!

Thursday was ladies coffee at Elaine Brooks' home. I finally got to meet and cuddle Greyson, Jada and Garrett Field's little one. He is such a beautiful, happy little boy. Garrett has been deployed to Kuwait, so Jada and Greyson will be spending the summer here with Karen and Stub.

Jada with Greyson...

The group gathers every Thursday morning at a different home. Gives us all an opportunity to catch up on all the happenings.......

Pam Barton, Joan Luce, Gerri Couch and Karen Lashomb.....
