pleasant summer

It's been a whole month since I've written anything so I will try to give you a brief summary. My sister-in-law Gretchen has been over on two different occasions from Richmond. One time she brought our nephew Larry and his sons and the next time she brought our nephew Peter and his two children. It was really nice to visit with them because we see them so seldom. Two weeks ago we had our friends over for a summer barbecue. We invited twelve of them and had a great time. Tonight we are going over to our friends , Barb and Frank for a barbecue and I was asked to bring dessert. I made an apple and an apricot platz. Last nite Barb and I went to visit our niece Marilyn and her husband Gene and we went to the fireworks. They were spectacluar. Wealso saw our great nephew Tim and his friend Hue. Tim has been living in Vietnam for the past few years and just recently returned. I've have gone for coffee with my friends. Saturday George and I went to an African wedding. It was really so much fun. I used to work with the groom. His mother and sisters acame from Kenya for the wedding. The bride was also African. The food was allAfrican as well. What a great experience. I've also spent a lot of time at work. I'm looking forward to seeing Sonya and the girls on the week end. The week after that Barb is having her surgery . Your prayers are greatly appreciated. It's another really hot day, but I'm not complaining. I really enjoy the heat. I'm thankful that I can use my thumb inspite of the fact that it has a hair line fracture and won't be completely healed for another 3 weeks. Enjoy your day.
