More family time and summer sun...

Well, we were very busy this week. We went to Minnesota to see my husband's family outsideof Rochester. Then swung up to see my brother in outside of St.Paul.

We had a great time with Kelly's family. We watched baseball, drove around the country, and best of all visited. It was super hot, but that didn't slow us down.

Next we saw my brother's new home. It was such a treat. I am very happy for him and his wife. If I ever had to live in a city that would be the spot.

On the way home we stopped to see "Dignity." What an amazing sculpture. It was 102 in Chamberlain, SD.

I had a pleasant surprise when I got home. None of my plants died form the heat and I had a rufous hummingbird. Do you have hummingbirds? If so what kind?

I have to say this has been a great July. Spending time with family is a blessing.

102° wow, that's hot! Yes, we also have a rufus as well as the ruby-throated. Glad you had some good visits.

A young girl was walking along a beach which thousands of starfish had washed up during a terrible storm. When she came to each starfish, she would pick it up, and throw it back into the ocean. People watched her with amusement. She was doing this for some time when a man approached and said, “Little girl, why are you doing this? Look at this beach! You can’t save all these starfish. You can’t begin to make a difference!” The girl was crushed, suddenly deflated. But after a few moments, she bent down, picked up another starfish, and hurled back into the ocean. She looked up at the man and replied, "I made a diffence to that one." Soon the man and the other people on the beach helped her. All of the starfish were saved.
