Summer Recap: July 2022

Time to attempt a little more catching up on this full summer, which included:

Cleaning, cleaning, and more cleaning to be able to move back into more parts of the house.

Removing layer after layer of porch floor to completely replace the rotted subfloor as well as windows and walls. It was sad to take out the tile we had laid years ago which was still in perfect condition.

More fun was transplanting Mom's collection of fiddle-leaf figs...

...enjoying the flowerbeds...

...and drying herbs for tea.

The 4th of July was a special time with extended family at the lake.

A new generation of second-cousins are starting to play together!

Mid-month we moved our tiny summer-home 6 hours south to a state park to be near two of our clinics.

Elsa and I celebrated our last skin-tests and decided it was time to say goodbye to the allergy clinic after at least 7 years of sublingual antigen treatments.



And we tried to enjoy our campground with little bits of strength now and then despite symptoms flaring from the above-mentioned tests.







Back home the month closed out with Dad and Mom's 45th wedding anniversary!
