The middle of July to early August is Birthday Season at the Evringham's. Stacy starts the season with her birthday on the 13th of July. Peggy swears that July 13, 1982 was the only really hot day that year (and yes - it was a Friday). So Stacy turned 27 years young yesterday and we celebrated by having her, her "friend" Kaj, his two children Bailey and Kayla, and Eric and Jen over for a BBQ followed by cupcakes and ice cream. Mix in a few games of "Cornhole" or whatever you call the game where you throw bean bags into a hole in a board 50 or so feet away - and a good time was had by all. Next week Mikee will have his birthday on the 19th and then Nicky finishes out the month with her day on the 29th. Then Eric starts out August being born on the 4th and Brian finishes out the season with his birthday on the 9th. Whew - that's a lot of birthdays in a short period of time. Since Brian, Nicky, Alyssa, and Emily plan on visiting here during the last week in July - we think a combined birthday bash may be in order - sounds like a plan! Of course my birthday post wouldn't be complete without including our friend Darrell Patterson who turns "Golden Pass" age today and is probably on his way to the Saratoga Battlefield National Park right now to pick up his free America the Beautiful - Senior Pass. Only 3 more years and I can get mine too. Unless, of course, the Feds decide to do away with that freebie to help pay off some of our National Debt before I get there.
Except for the birthday doings yesterday it has been pretty quiet here at the Evringham Summer Home (at least for 2009 anyway). I have been moving forward on my various house projects and Peggy has kept busy working on her VBS preps and harassing me when she feels the need arise. We did have a pleasant surprise a few days ago when long time family friends - Reed and Sandy Kimzey - called to let us know they were here in Maine staying in their motorhome up around Long Lake where their son Kevin has a summer camp. Since they were traveling to Freeport to visit L.L. Bean (and several of the other outlet stores) we met up with them and their son's family for a nice visit and dinner. The last time we saw the Kimzey's was when they camped out with us at the Quiring Bed and Breakfast and RV Resort in Yreka, CA back in the summer of 2007. The Kimzey's have their Stix and Brix home in El Paso, TX - so who knows - maybe we'll drive through and say howdy some day.
Hope everybody has a great day!
First - I was born on a Tuesday. Second - it's okay to call him my boyfriend, Dad ;)
