August 2016

Emily's birthday, morning walks, a hike to Lake Mary with Anna and friends, fun times with the binkers before they traveled to NM, an extra day with Clara and Rob, Daniel's birthday, group dinner at the Ostergar's new house, dinners with Opa and Annie, a visit from Jan, Evelyn's first birthday, a visit from Doris Warner, a week with Connor, a soft opening at Chom, and a sleepover with Meg and Ollie: August has been good.

Post England: the Rest of July 2016

Since returning from England life has had a slower pace to be sure. But life goes on, much of it as usual, with visits from Evy, morning walks, theater, family dinners, family weddings, an evening in the canyon with Hank and Colette, and Hansen cousins breakfasts. The wedding was Lucy's, nephew Brad's daughter, to Andrew Lamprecht.

 Evy always draws a crowd

 She walks now and helped Grammy

 Summer flowers at the Templenacle made me miss England

 Enjoyable

 Andrew and Lucy Lamprecht

 Evy likes the lovely Taylor sisters: Grace and Olivia

That's all for now.
