We have been having a nice summer out here in Boulder. Lots of spring rain put our garden in good shape. We built four raised beds for vegetables and we have kale, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, lettuce, and basil growing where our trampoline use to be. We have made our first batch of pesto and got some frozen for the winter. Our cherry tree went crazy and we got buckets full of sour cherries. Jay made a delicious cherry pie from scratch.
Anna and Jay are home again. Anna finished up her job as a camp counselor. Jay continues to work at the local sandwich shop. Look for his iPhone game in the app store at the end of summer.
Emily and I rode the Triple Bypass Ride in July. 120 miles and over 10,000 feet of climbing over three passes. We had a great ride and good weather. Although we were chased by a storm up Loveland pass. We were plenty tired at the end of the 10 hour ride and spent the night celebrating, by sleeping at Beaver creek where the finish line was.
Sarah made the trip out to Boulder for July fourth. We went up to our cabin for the holiday. Last year we went into town for the fireworks and got stuck in a massive traffic jam when they closed down the highway out of town because of an accident. Mom and I were stuck in the car until 3:00 in the morning. So this time we stayed at the cabin and watched the fire works from the porch.
We went out east to visit the families. Maxine and Howard rented a spectacular beach house in Cape May. Lots of swimming, bird watching and eating. A wonderful week with nice weather. We then went out to Chardon Ohio for a visit with the Warm family. We got to eat a couple nice dinners with everyone and got out on Patrick's boat for a spin around lake Erie.
