Thanks to all of you for coming back to the blog. Been busy with birthdays, graduations, memorial services, life and death, and home improvement.  Gearing up for summer.  My daughter turns 18 tomorrow and graduates high school on Saturday.  Hang with us and we'll have more posts next week.  Here's a few  images until then. cheers.
