Grandpa is losing it!!!

Elspeth turned 2 July 31

I totally forgot to post Elspeth on her birthday.  We called so I get a point for that as I did not forget but no excuse for not posting it on the 31st.

Helen in her prime!

Actually a big birthday for baby sister Helen today.  She was born in 1950, need I say more?  Helen has not changed a bit, she is still a great looking gal with a super personality and a fun spirit.  Also, she has many friends who think she is the super lady!  I am going to go out on a limb and say that all of her siblings, Joan, Dave and I think she is lovely, smart, fun, witty and we love her dearly.  Happy Birthday Helen

Enough of the birthday stuff.  I woke up to a rain gauge that showed an inch of rain last night.  We needed it.  There was a stormy night predicted so don't know if the rain soaked in or ran off down the street.  Regardless, it will help the garden and lawn.  Our garden is now keeping us with fresh tomatoes and squash.  It is fun to walk out to the wood shop and stop to enjoy a grape tomato.  In the wood shop there are some things happening.  I am not sure how much but as I stopped to survey the shop yesterday and there was sawdust all over and things were kind of messy!  That means I have been in it.  Does it mean I have done much? 
As I sit here and type my FP is down to within an inch of the bottom and the sun just peeked into the window.  That means it is time to journey to Home Depot and Menards to get some material!
