Great day for a picnic!

We had a great time Saturday with a family picnic at our place. Allison, Chris and Thad got to spend the night, so we had some nice visiting time with them, also! Here are some photos from the festivities:

Another vacation week at Hemlock Home, Mifflin County

My last week of vacation for the year. I got lots of work done around the place at Hemlock Home. Debbie stayed at home this time, to complete her summer course work. I got to babysit Thad and got to visit Allison and Thad and have lunch with the whole Gerwick family. Here are a few photos from the week.

Vacation at Hemlock Home

We had a great time at Hemlock Home last week. We got to babysit Thad on Tuesday, while Allison attended a meeting at work (East Derry Elementary School). We had a great time. Here are a few photos:

Just before dinner, one of our hummingbird visitors flew in to get a drink.

Another Apture test

I was driving along Route 183, near Bernville one day, when, all of a sudden, I got the urge to take a swim in Blue Marsh Lake. It wasn't long before I got hungry, so I decided to drive to Wyomissing and look for a restaurant.

I finally found a place to eat. I decided to go to Smokey Bones, even though I'm not a huge ribs fan. I also had a draft of Sam Adams.

Later, I went home and watched one of my favorite movies, "At the Circus," featuring the Marx Brothers, which includes one of my favorite songs.

Before retiring, even though I don't dabble in the stock market, I decided to see how Google was doing. Then, I decided to check John Boor's LinkedIn profile.

As I closed out the day, I said my prayers, read a book, and hit the hay.

Kids at Hemlock Home, 6/30

We had a nice time Tuesday evening. Allison, Chris and Thad came over for dinner. We grilled chicken, short ribs, hamburgers and potatoes. Of course, we had to take some pictures!

Visit to Tanglewood, 6/29

Debbie, Allison, Thad and I took a trip to visit Mum and Dad on Monday. Here are some photos from our visit. It was a really nice day.
