Until things changed for Bob and I we hosted most of the holiday parties.  This past Labor Day weekend Casey and Joy took over.  Casey had a pool/barbecue party and Joy had a party at the lake house. We all brought some meat in a crock pot and a side dish. Our thanks to Rob for giving boat  rides to the guests and our thanks to Joy and Casey for hosting. They both opened their home not only to family but to friends. Thank you so much.

Something happened at the lake house I want to share.  I was so proud of Joy who gave one of the guests the Heimlich and saved her life.  I'm not going to mention the name of the guest to possibly save embarrassment to that person.  But, I couldn't believe what was happening in front of my own eyes in a matter of a few minutes.  That person is alive today because of what Joy did. It was surreal.

Joy made the sign for Casey, pictured below (Larson's Lounge) for her birthday.  John and Casey have a living area on their back patio next to the pool.  I think the sign completes the area.

I didn't get pictures of everyone but below are a few.  Click older posts to see everything.

Happy Anniversary Joy and Rob!

Today is Joy and Rob's anniversary.  You may have noticed I posted three anniversaries of our kids over the past few days. They were all married one year apart over the Labor Day Holidays.  I guess that is a popular time to get married.  So, John and Casey celebrated 19 years, Jane and Ben 20 years and Joy and Rob twenty one years.  I'm starting to feel old with my kids married that many years.
Happy Anniversary Joy and Rob!  We love you.

Happy Anniversary Jane and Ben!

Twenty Years!  We love and miss you both.
