POLITICS

can you believe that lar is getting involved in politics??? just one more volunteer thing to do...in our small town the republicians have been running things their way or wanting to anyway...and it is about time they took a look at the town and did something for the town instead of their own agendas...so there is a coup going on to over run the already excisting republician party and form another one..so lar is running to be on the committee in our district..he has spent many an hour painting theese signs (oh i've helped a wee bit) and we have gone to many meeting to get things going...as we have heard that in tompkins there has never been one party trying to get rid of people in that party this way...so i guess someone has to be first...the signs have got to be up before we leave due to the primary is a coupe of days after we return and there just wouldn't be enough time for the signs to be up and people to see them...

CONCERT IN THE PARK

what better way to end a weekend than go to one of the parks in our area for a concert..so that is what a bunch of our friends and of course we will included to go and do -it was just a perfect night for it to sit by the lake great summer temps and of course with a good group of friends ...the group that sang was kinda a cross between blue grass and zydeco so was some interesting music..althou i must say we spent alot of time visiting and catching up on what has been happening in the neighborhood (which isn't much )...friday over to my brother s for dinner and last minute talk about going to hawaii--we are all getting excited..but there was a mishap..my sister chris was going into the house tripped and fell hurting her knee..ice was put on it rather soon but in the middle of the night she went off to the ER as it really hurt--nothing broken but she is in a leg brace and need to go see another dr..an orthopedic type..sure hope it isn't anything serious and lets hope she will get rid of the brace before we go to hawaii that is in 1 /12 weeks....
