After the sun dropped behind the trees last Saturday and the temperature cooled to 100 degrees, Nancy took the grandkids outside to help pick blueberries and tomatoes. The boys look a little soggy because I helped cool them down even more with the hose. Jenny took this snapshot with her camera and sent us a copy. Pictured are Margaret (3), Jackson (9), John Michael (7), and a happy Grandma. She thinks they were more of a help than me.

Prius update: Yesterday the people doing the repairs in Maryland told me that the car will be ready on Monday. I'm going to wait until Monday for verification before we pack up for the drive north.

Our daughter Melissa was born on the 4th of July. We want to wish Melissa a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY and a HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY.
