Lake Kevan be Gone
Another wondrous week has sped by at Lake Kevan’s be Gone. Andrew had two soccer games; he won one and lost one. He plays hard and comes off the field red faced and sweaty. It makes a difference for the better when he is on the field.
We painted (meaning Bruce) the guest bedroom off the kitchen a pale tan. It totally improves the room like 100%. I will hang pictures this week. Rob, Lindsey and baby Sadie, age almost a year, moved in on Thursday afternoon just as the last wall was drying. Excellent timing! I sorta cleaned out the closet of costumes and hung tan plaid curtains to hide the mess.
We watched several videos to indoctrinate Lindsey into the Kevan culture. The first was Galaxy Quest a spoof on the Star trek movies, she laughed at all the right places and the second was the Wrath of Khan, a trekie movie. Now she might understand Rob better and see why he is the way he is. Hmmmm We did get to see the latest Harry Potter movie and were excited with it. It was very well done and I only hid my eyes once in an intense part. I wasn’t scared, just startled. I wonder if someone will do a spoof on the Potter movies?
Rob and Dan went to their 10 year High School class reunion on Friday evening and Saturday. We watched Sadie for them and she was very well behaved and went done without a peep. We must wear her out.
Friday morn Lindsey went yard sailing with my dear friend, Ernie and moi. We were only out for an hour and a half. Lindsey did really well and bought several things. Saturday we went two hours and only stopped because it was getting really hot. We spent all our quarters anyway and found several items we couldn’t live without so we have filled our shopping needs and girl talk for the day. I scored big with several costume purchases.
I did rent a Cat in the Hat costume this week. A lady wanted a costume for her daughter’s birthday party. Cookie Monster was too small, Baloo was too hot, but the Cat was just right. Hopefully they will return the costume by tomorrow.
Andrew went shooting guns, 22’s, on Friday evening with the Scouts. They went over the safety stuff and then fired at paper plates. His plate came home with several holes in it. He was a happy camper.
Bruce has been very busy picking, canning, steaming and drying cherries. We picked a bizillion ice cream buckets of cherries and gave away as many as we could. The juice will probably be made into jelly later on.
It has been so totally hot even with the fans at full blast. The clothes dry really fast outside
Signing out, all the women, me and Lindsey are strong, the men are good looking and the baby, Sadie is above average.

Grandpa Bob's 90th b-day
We had fun in Ashland.
Bruce made breakfast for the fam, Eggs Benedict and it was well received. We used fresh fruit from the Corvallis farmer's market. We enjoyed meeting all of Bob's friends and talking to the fam. We really like the music from Corkey Seigull and Michael Stanwood and BC Cameron.
Bob turned 90 on June 28 and we went to Ashland, OR to celebrate, stopping to see the grand babies along the way.
Will post photos later.
