Family Flashback:  June 14-16

I better do some family flashbacks before too much time goes by.

Back in January I put a deposit down on two camps (side by side) for the week of Aug 23.  We didn’t get to see the cabins until Saturday.  They are a wonderful upgrade to the camp we’ve rented for a number of years.  More room, more amenities… I think we are going to love it there.  Now, if the weather will cooperate.

I woke up Sunday morning to a much needed rainy day.  Trouble is, it hasn’t stopped raining since.  For Father’s Day Melissa hosted the family, Kathy, Kevin and Erika for a BBQ lunch.  Great food.  Lisa as been under the weather for a week and could not make it.  We didn’t get home until almost 9.  Good times.  The girls got Bob a GPS.  Eli opened some presents, too, even though his birthday isn’t until Wednesday.
Jeremy’s dad stopped by and took time to visit with all of us for a bit.  He’s recently sold his home and has to be out in about two weeks.  This has got to be a tough time for him… a man who is very rigid about his routine.  He has no idea where he’ll be going next, but hopes to have Jeremy build him a small home somewhere.

I was hoping it would be the last time that I would have to watch the basketball finals, but the Celtics saw to it that it would not be the case.  Around 11 Ed rolled in from New York and finished the disappointing last few minutes with me.  He has sold his van to a man from Greenville, ME.  The family paid Ed to drive it up here and he’ll ride back tomorrow with Dan and Melissa.

He and Bob went out for breakfast and lunch.   I tagged along for the lunch.  We had family over tonight for a chicken/seafood chowder supper.  With the drizzle and rain, it was a perfect chowder day.  Kevin and Erika came, but Lisa still isn’t travel worthy yet.  Kathy, the Burbanks and Crysten came, too.  The Walls had Spanish class with Uncle Dean but will have lots of Ed time starting tonight and through the rest of the week.

Not sure when the Risingers will be going home, so they purchased a ticket for Stephanie today.  She has to be in Greenville SC next Wednesday for her mission trip to Nova Scotia.  Continue to pray for Justin that they can get to the bottom of these headaches.  While you’re at it, better pray for Randy, too.  Home alone in NC.
