The summer is officially here

OK, so maybe not officially if you are paying attention to the calendar, but with the weather that we have been having, I'm making it official in Avon Lake. The weather has been great lately. Our landscaping looks really nice and Jeff sprayed the plants today to ward off those darn deer. Last year they ate our lillies on July 4 just when they were at their absolute peak... as you can see.



The next day, gone. I refuse to allow that to happen this year.
I worked on some homework today. It's hard to do when the weather is so nice. I'm a quarter of the way done with my econ class already. Next week I have the midterm, not sure if it's a take home or not. I will be meeting up with my friend/classmate this coming weekend to study, either way.
We had some of Jeff's coworkers over last night for a cookout and had perfect weather. We had a fire going and had a nice time with all of them. I don't think the mosquitos were really out, either. Or maybe the fire just kept them away. This afternoon we went for a bike ride to the lake. Work will start to pick up soon, we are getting all of the summer and fall financial aid in order and closing out our fiscal year. Only 6 weeks of econ left and then a vacation to a yet to be determined locale...

Grandma's 80th birthday party

We went down to Stone Creek this past weekend and helped celebrate Grandma's 80th birthday. We all got together at Red Lobster in New Phila and waited while Jim and Pam brought her to dinner. There were 40 of us there and we had a great time and I think she was surprised. Ben and Katelynn were cute as always. We had fun with them.



The entire family was there including Grandma's siblings and their spouses. I hope I look this good at 80!









Ben told us "My name is Ben, I love Jeff and Kristie, that's how I roll!" Adorable and hilarious.

I start my Economics class tomorrow night for the summer. Hope it goes well and quickly!
