One week later...


I'm back from a week of summer vacation spent at a cabin on a beautiful lake an hour away from home. Our whole family–adult kids, grandkids and my wife and I–all vacationed together. We have two adult children, their spouses and five grandchildren ranging in age from four to 9 months. (All are boys, except for the oldest–the lone girl in the family–and two are twin boys. By the way, we'll have grandchild number six ready to join this group in November.) We rented three adjoining cabins built in the 20's. Their vintage and rustic spirit was beautifully preserved and some modern conveniences added to help us all stay sane. We had a great time and couldn't have had better weather. The beach was nice and shallow for little ones and they spent most of each day in the water or else running around in the big cabin and just having a blast. The adults shared the cooking and we all shared tasks. It was nice family time and helped us all to clear the brain and enjoy nature. I recommend it to everyone. A lot has happened since I left this computer...Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and more. Stay tuned....

Hey thanks. I have to give credit where it's due though. Our daughter-in-law's brother visited us for a day and he took these pictures. He obviously has an artistic eye. Later in the day, he was swimming with his young nephews and forgot his camera was in the pocket of his swim suit. The picture disc came through but there are doubts about the camera.
