CATROSPHE ON THE DOWNHILL

The first evidence of regression. Rachel put her hands on Dave's back. Later in the day, Rachel noticed the amount of sun Dave had received. Cool handprints!!

Ann ended up with a leech on her right leg - standing in the water too long while fishing. Timothy had some bad bug bites that turned into blisters. Julia did get some sunburn (as well as her dad - see above). One of the kids had slivers. Otherwise we have been well blessed without serious injury.

It seems like a long time ago that we arrived. The time has been full and the days have been enjoyable. These days, with the temperatures in the 90's, the group just sits and visits in the afternoons. It has been a joy to have been here. Yet there is more. Fireworks over the lake are tonight; s'mores over the campfire, and a big fish fry tomorrow evening.

 Ben keeping up with his industry contacts.

 Grace keeps the younger kids entertained with her chalk drawings.

 Sarah Penshorn is quite an avid birdwatcher (in addition to skilled knitting) and just a wonderful addition to the whole Selle clan.

Jean and Paul in a "couple" moment.

Anesthesiologist, Dr. Aaron McClure, has perhaps had a bit too much of his own medicine!

Watch a video of "the real fishing hole."

The Selle boys ready to leave: David for New Jersey and Ben for Los Angeles.

Esther sometimes does not like her mother's guitar playing, or she wants attention for herself. Check it out!
