Countdown to Godspell

We have begun the countdown to Godspell for Dad and Daughter. Opening night is this Thursday, July 31st. Not to be outdone, Big Dogg Steve starts two-a-days for football that very same morning! Boredom? define?

Summer has been a glorius blessing of relaxation and family enjoyment. One advantage to the petro price insanity, we stay closer to our favorite place to be...home! So much to do in NE OH in the warm season. Really no "need" to look elsewhere for entertainment. This area is steeped in music and the arts on every level and every genre'. We really benefit from the great wealth of local talent. Steve has been fortunate enough to be invited to the onstage presentation of Mama Mia at Playhouse Square...lucky! I am still so looking forward to seeing the big-screen version with my on-screen hottie, Colin Firth! Oh yeah. lol

I must needs get back to h ouse chores to free up the remainder of the week as Princess Cate arrives on Monday! Happy Day! Love and Sun~B~

Hi-Ho Hi-Ho it is back to work I go!!

No doubt about it, a stay-cation is as restful as a vacation anytime. With saddness I return to my 40 hour today after a primo 9 days away. Swimming, sunning even a gals night out to the Harbor Inn and not a tank of gas spent to do so. NE OH is very tolerable in July. The month wraps now with the traditional Summit County Fair. Being so close to the fairgrounds, I can hear the big ol' tractor pull from my patio. Sidenote on the kick-off to my week-off. As strange as it may sound, with my only sister just 10 miles north in Hudson, we very rarely are able to mesh our busy "MOM" schedules and just hang. Well, we did so at the 61st annual Italian Fest in Cuyahoga Falls the first Friday of my vacation. It was warm and crowded and we just walked about people watching and chatting. We heard a great local band, LaFavour play on the riverfront and stood in line for about a year so Amy could get a bite of dinner. It was fun and fulfilling to finally get out and hang out before she retreats south to Atlanta-forever! I know the Whites have enjoyed their time in this area and they will be leaving a bit of themselves behind with their "baby" Catherine enrolled at UA with our Jenn. "Oh how the years go by....." ~B~

23 years ago today

23 years ago we said "I do,I do,"

simple words to utter,

but a meaning that rings true.

I can not start to number the things that we each "do,"

Only to know that everything is done with love for you....

23 down...so many more years of memories to go. Love YPG~B~
