Summertime, Summertime, Sum, Sum, Summertime…

The kids sure love the change in seasons. Corinne, Mason, and I went to Hartford for our annual strawberry picking extravaganza. We picked berries to eat, made jam, rode the tractor/haywagon, and enjoyed the four-wheelers. On Saturday, Tony’s family (sans Tony who was having a golf weekend with the guys) came to town for their jam session (ha, ha!) and to ride as well. The kids sure loved all the extra attention! Papa Bill and Grandma Ann found a slide at a garage sale and scooped it up for us. They love it! Mason climbs up there and looks so proud. Corinne uses it to play king of the mountain. Too bad Mason doesn’t know the rules.

We are continuing to fix up our home. We bought a new kitchen table and chairs and set up the old table in the basement to use for crafts, sewing, wrapping gifts, etc. It was pretty hammered and two of the chairs were falling apart. I will paint the old chairs that still have some life in them to match the new set. That way we will finally have enough seating for company. I am currently looking into some more new light fixtures. That is something easy to do and relatively cheap that makes a nice difference. We have done some already, so it’s time for the next batch. My mind swarms with other projects, but I’m trying to take it slow.

Hope all of you out there are enjoying the beginning of summer!
