July 20 * Granddaughter Shelby celebrated 17 with cheesecake
July 21 * All mine. Chocolate shake at Steak n Shake with Shelby and Elijah and Neil. Can't believe they didn't want one.
July 21 * West side of town
July 21 * And on the east side of town, the sky painted a different picture
July 23 * Destruction of living room floor still in progress
July 23
July 23 * Retired, when he's not destroying the living room floor

July 27
July 27 * Knox red-faced from some backyard baseball practice
July 27 * He's done
July 28 * Lunch at Zaxby's with Grandsons Elijah and Knox and daughter Kelly
July 28 * Cousins. Knox is the little brother Elijah never had (picture by Kelly)
July 28 * After lunch, these two amused themselves dancing to Just Dance 3 on the Wii. I think the Just Dance videos are up to number 50 these days, or some such. But they had a great time.
July 28 * That thing I look forward to every summer. Finally got one. Large. Second shake in a week. Worth every big fat calorie.
July 30 * Elijah. First day of school. But not really. It was a two hour day for him. 7th grade already.
July 30 * Knox went to school for about an hour to find his classroom and meet his teacher. 1st grade this year.
July 30 * Shelby is a senior this year. Still can't wrap my little brain around that one.
July 30 * My grandpeeps. How they've grown! I need a pause button.
July 30 * Ice cream treats at the Lazy Cow Creamery. First day of school, and all. But not really. Good excuse to get ice cream, not that we need any excuse, mind you
July 31 * Making progress. Honest.
July 31 * Knox's first (real) day of 1st grade
July 31 * Shelby's first full day as a senior. Chaotic she said.
July 31 * Elijah's first full day of 7th grade. He refused to let me take his picture again since we did all that yesterday. So this will have to be his official first day of school picture.
"That beautiful season the Summer!
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light;
And the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood."
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

"People take pictures of the Summer, just in case someone thought they had missed it, and to prove that it really existed."
