Catching Up

Wow, it's been over a month since I posted anything on this blog! Just keeping too busy since our second return from Oregon. We had a Braford Family reunion in Grand Rapids on June 6th, with family here from Oregon, Michigan, Washington and Missouri. I got the garden all ready and planted on the 9th and 10th of June. Then there was a small break one week so I started clearing the house out for garage sale which will hopefully happen sometime this summer. The place is still a mess, I keep getting interrupted from my goal. We bought a pop-up pickup camper which needed fixing, so hours were spent on that project. Mom Bush had an 87th Birthday party on July 3rd. Her brother, Jack, came for a short visit from Michigan so we got to see him, too. Now I'm working on Vacation Bible School which starts next week.

June 6 - Jean, Jane, Jo & Joyce - Braford sisters. Jack (Janes twin from Michigan) couldn't make it this weekend for the reunion.

June 10 - Art caught this big Northern Pike when brother Kevin was visiting. Last time he caught a big fish Kevin was with him, too. Way back when he was a kid.

June 23rd - Bought this pop-up truck camper.

June 27th - Hibbing Fourth of July Parade

July 3 - Mom Bush 87th Birthday

Fourth of July - Jody invited us to her house for a bbq. Daves' brother George, his sister Amy and husband Nick came, too.

July 5 - Visit to Mankato to see Arte and Meriden, towed home his broken car.

Makayla plays some tunes, Nathan 'standing by' in case flute gets close enough to grab it.

Jacob woke up from his nap to help, but still no luck getting that flute.

Wow, Grandma and her sisters look great, I can imagine them in their younger days, how fun to have so many sisters ! And Meriden is so adorable.. That is the biggest fish ever ! And I miss the babies sooo much , looks like Nathan is trying to make a break for it at the parade. Love the new camper too!
