Summer Continues, Gardens, Fairs, Music

Hot and Humid is what we have been having so far this summer,  the Temps have gone up to 92 and high Humidity so it is sweltering hot.  We are lucky as our apartment here has an air conditioner we purchased when we moved in.

We have not done too much, I am playing a lot more and we are keeping up 2 gardens and we spend a lot of time at our daughters and we try keeping the grandson busy, our son in law is traveling for work, he has been in Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico, now he is up in Ohio.

We went to Evans Mills for their "Strawberry Festival"  and were joined by John and his daughter Courtney doing some singing, Courtney just graduated from High School is off this coming fall to Bible College to take classes.  John is retired Military and has played in bands for a long time.
