Chase had a scratchy throat this morning but since breakfast (at 1pm!) seems to be holding his own. Chrissy is here and she borrowed an X-Box gaming system from Lori’s friend so the two are gaming away!

They were both hungry so we have 2 pizzas in the oven. We are a two-pizza family; they both like different kinds. that’s fine, because one wouldn’t feed us all anyway.

Chase put another coat of white and yellow on the Snoopy dog house, then spray-painted the little deck box. Tomorrow we can paint out the trim in a different color.

Kelly sent me a few photos of Peyton and Logan at 4-H camp. A friend brought his race car over, and Peyton especially was really into it. He could answer the questions as well as the driver/owner! They are both having a great time.




On this day 240 years ago… Hanna’s Town was attacked. July 13, 1782, marks the day that the town changed forever. Hanna’s Town was attacked by a raiding party from Ft. Niagara and the town was burned. It never recovered; was never rebuilt, and faded away into farmland. Check out the history at www.westmorelandhistory.org.

Also on his date, in 1954, Pigpen was introduced into the Peanuts comic strip.

July 13 – Do you remember having a favorite candy? How much did it cost? “Licorice – in a small box that held 8 or 10 hollow licorice sticks that we called cigarettes. They cost a penny a box.” I liked licorice – and still do – but seldom have any.
