Well here it is Aug where did the time go well let me see Carl has had pneumonia and we made a trip up to Mn. this last of May and came home the last part of June. We were up for Abby's Graduation and now she is off to Collage. She is such a sweet young lady. We were able to be up for David 30th Birthday also and his Mom Shelly surprised him by coming up. we all went out to eat and it was so good to see all the kids and Grand kids and Great Grand one to. We are so lucky. Then back home and had a 4th cook out with friends and family. Then Carl was in the Hospital second week of this month  for five days with Pneumonia again. He is much better now but will never get over his COPD. We just got back from up by Falstaff as Shelly and Scott rented a place for a long weekend for her Birthday. We went up on Sat. and spent the night and came back today Sunday. Sure had a great time. Went out to eat and had a wonderful meal. We also went to the farmers marker this morning before we left  had such a great time. Carl drove all the way and he did much better coming back then going but we made it and had a great time. I have my eye sugary This Tues. the 23rd. I will be glad when it is over.                                        This is the cake I made for Shelly
