Late Summer Picnic

Makayla rode back with Aunt Shannon to spend another weekend with us! What a nice surprise! We had a great dinner done by Aunt Amy and after we were done Aunt Shannon and Makayla made S'mores! They were delicius! It was a beautiful night and we all relished the warmth of the setting sun!

Community Service Award

Last night Dick and I were honored by his High School Alma Mater with their Annual Community Service Award. It was a great event! All of the kids including grandkids were home for the dinner. Only Shawn could not be there. The dinner was wonderful, the people included many friends, the door prizes were fun. The only draw back was the lack of AC on one of the hottest days this summer! We shared laughs and stories of years gone by. Rick DeFranco was inducted into the School's Distinguished Alumni Group. Thank you Heuvelton Alumni and to our family for being there!

As many of you know I tried a little kayak lesson with my good friend Diane. I really did enjoy it! Hopefully some time this week I can give it another shot! Unfortunately the day was overcast but it was warm!

Happy 1st Birthday Jenna Teresa Wright! Our grand daughters' birthday is today! What a cutie! When excited she shakes all over! Jenna is the third daughter of our son Nicholas and his wife Emily! She has two sisters Makayla and Lily. We celebrated her birthday when they were home earlier this month!

Happy Anniversary Scott and Amy! Hard to believe it's been six years! We love you! Sorry this is an old picture!
We sadly said goodbye to our son-in-law to be yesterday. He says he has to get back for school but we know it's all about hunting! It was so great to have you home! You are a champ at croquet & Wii!

We are excitedly awaiting the arrival of our youngest Andrew and his girlfriend Robyn who just moved to Glens Falls from Chicago are coming home tomorrow!

This being my first post, I will dedicate to my good friend Bob who has inspired me! Don't worry Bob I will be asking for a lot of suggestions! As most of you know our daughter Shannon and her boyfriend Shawn got engaged in July! Their wedding is planned for August 15th, 2009! Today Shannon, her friend Jessica and our daughter in law Amy went to Syracuse looking for Bridesmaids dresses. I looked for a dress but nothing is really attracting me. I have plenty of time and I know I will find the right dress!
