The end of summer story

The story for our family this last week of summer involves Zada's injury. She fell while playing with friends on a grounded inner-tube and broke the two bones in her forearm. We were camping at the time. A shout of thanks to all who were party to her treatment and early recovery. She's already transitioned to a shorter waterproof cast, much to everyone's delight.

Day's work

Yesterday I volunteered at the kids' school and painted a giant carrot. I also added the stems to the apple and pear. And, I operated a hydraulic lift to do it. Boom.

Our kids with the Baumgartner kids, progeny of my college pal, Tenni, and her husband, Dave. They all stopped by for a visit tonight; how grateful we are for it.
