I have seen more 'crack flowers'! The hanging baskets and planters from last year have seeded lots of the sidewalk cracks in downtown Bloomington.

Personally, I love seeing self-seeded flowers wherever they are. Since we are always trying to beautify the downtown area this is a wonderful solution - I think!

I have seen lots of family members lately! My nieces (my sister's girls) and their children came to our house in late July. We had a wonderful time playing with them and experiencing the joys of Miller Park. It is a great place for the whole family to spend an afternoon! Try it sometime!



This is Samantha Margaret with her Grandma Weeks. Samantha is the youngest member of the Carter clan. She is as cute as a button and, she was really good while visiting with us!



We went to one evening of the McKenna Reunion - Rick's mom's side of the family.

We also hosted a "Laleday Celebration" for Rick's family - Mom and Grandpa Al and his six brothers and sisters and all their children and grandchildren. It turned into a two day fest and we all had a great time. This was held partially at our house and partially at Comlara Park/Lake Evergreen, north of Bloomington-Normal.



This is a picture of almost everyone who attended. Some didn't get to the house until late and some had to leave early, but with this size family you do the best you can!



Our weather feels more like September than August and I am very grateful. It has been relatively cool and dry - no humidity is WONDERFUL!!!

Enjoy your late summer - and Keep Reading
