graduation and summer things....

This past Friday, my little niece graduated from preschool, come fall, she is heading to kindergarten. The school that she went to, is the school where Kassy is a teacher. I smile when I think, wasn't it just last week that Kassy graduated from preschool?? and now here she is, a teacher at one. I know, you have all heard me say this before... "where does the time go??"

I brought Camille and Ginger along to the graduation, I'm always looking for those opportunities for Ginger. Naomi seemed quite pleased to see that Ginger had come to watch her graduate....

A "congratulation" hug..... it won't be long before those first pictures of "getting onto the school bus" will be taken!!!!

And summer has truly arrived when we begin to think about docks!!! It was our plan to get them in over the weekend, but with rainy weather on the way... Nate and Tom thought it might be better to do them earlier. So, they rushed out of work and came to get them done for us.

Ed and I are so grateful to have these two young guys willing to help out. I suppose we could wrestle the docks in, but it's so very nice not to "have to". The "boys" worked as quickly as they could, but the dark was closing in fast. Fortunately, because we had had such warm weather all last week, Nate said the lake wasn't too cold. But it did become too dark to work. They gave us a great start and now what is left to do, we can do ourselves.

The lake is beginning to have that "summer look".. the loons sing their songs

and lights twinkle around the shore.... summer has arrived, and I have plans to enjoy every moment...
