It has been cold and rainy for what seems like an eternity! It's felt more like autumn weather than the beginning of summer!

Nevertheless, we've been trying to have some summer fun. Wendy and I took Taylor & Clayton and Madison & Greg to the Iowa Cubs game last Thursday night. The rain stayed away and it turned out to be a pleasant, if chilly, summer evening. The I-Cubs won!!

Wendy and I volunteered on Saturday morning for the Community Theatre. A high school leadership camp was staying at the college and wanted to do some service projects. So, we put them to work. Wendy was at the Costume Shop with one crew. I took another crew to the storage trailer to clear out props and set pieces, and a third crew helped build sets for The Sound of Music.

Saturday afternoon we went to cousin, Alicia's, graduation open house. Wendy's mom and sister drove down and ended up stopping by the house for an hour or two for a nice visit.

Wendy and I had a quiet evening on the couch Saturday night and watched Woody Allen's Vicky Christina Barcelona. We really enjoyed it, though I'm not sure I would wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. It's not going to be everyone's cup o' tea.

Wendy directed video at church yesterday morning and then we spent a lazy afternoon watching the Cubs beat the Twins (finally). It was a cool (again) evening, but we grabbed our sweatshirts and walked over to the VL's in the evening for a little slice of Wendy's chocolate cookie cheesecake and a glass of wine on the back porch.

Now, it's back to work – though a trip to the lake is looming on the horizon!
