Family Time

11 August 2023 Friday

Lisa, Eric and Emi Gray stayed with us all night.  It was about seven this evening when they got here.  As usual Lisa brought a ton of food.  Eric cooked some huge hot dogs on the grill on the patio.  There were some huge buns.  They also had all of the condiments that went with them.  After supper we watched some TV.  They went to bed and Carol, and I went to bed a little later.

These photos are from Saturday 12 August 2023.

It was still light when Richard got here. He bought a new tent.  He and Eric Gray put the tent together.  Richard had a Cot to sleep on it.  

I picked all of the cucumbers.  Some were pretty dirty.  I washed them on the backyard with a bucket of water.

Richard cooked breakfast on the patio.  We got out the cushions and put them on the patio chairs. After he cooked breakfast, we ate while on the patio.

There is a small table.  Lisa washed both sides.  I got busy eating and forgot to take pictures.

There is a yellow jacket or hornet nest in the tree.

I got a photo of Richard under the tree where the hornet nest was found.

Here is another photo of the hornet nest.  When it got dark Richard and I put the nest into two plastic shopping bags.  He sprayed it with WD40.

Robert was cutting off some branches off the tree.  The chain came off the saw.  He is putting it back on.

We drove to Delta for the golfing party.  This is a photo of Eric Gray and April.
