In July, we had a delightful time with Jeff, Kim and family, Jules, and Linds as we vacationed at the cabin, and partied at the big Blair Reunion in Lava. Tubing the river was fun (at least it was the one time I went) and I had such a good time with the kids. We came home exhausted but with lots of fun memories! (And it didn't even matter that we ran out of gas!) Now I'm looking forward to Julie's visit Sept. 21 and going to Kansas for Kim and Ashley's birthdays!

I have been a little busy for the past month, so I am about to attempt to catch up my blog. I will start with the most recent events. Carl and I had a great trip to Alaska where he caught (and kissed) a fish, escaped an attack by a bear, we flew in a helicopter and landed on a huge glacier and drank from a glacier river. We sailed around Glacier Bay while sitting on our deck balconies with the Pages. (It was 80 degrees, and amazing!) We ate, and ate, and ate every bit of sugar and 20 times more than Suzanne went without this month. It was fun but I'm glad to be back, and Carl is preparing for the Lotoja next weekend.

I know you have ALL missed my witty and amusing blogs lately, but hey, I've been as Jeff would say, "Too busy living life to write about it!" After a delightful week with my family (which I will write about later, I'm off with CB to Alaska to encounter glaciers and bears. (And possibly eat enough on the cruise to resemble one - the bear, not the glacier). So hang on until August 21st when I shall have a terrific tale to tell.
