Playing Tag with Raindrops

What a wet month!…not that I’d trade our weather for what other parts of the country have been contending with…our collective empathy goes out to all who have more to think about than chilly breezes, abundant mud and hourly rain!

Last weekend was our annual Ship Shape Clean Up and we are ever so grateful to the 40+ people who spent Mother’s Day with us…we ate well, in some cases exercised muscles we haven’t been acquainted with in a while and made many plans for the up coming season.  Our gratitude is abundant…look at these wonderful pictures that Cheryl took!  Jump over to her blog here for her accounting of the weekend.
