Summer is coming to a close



A favorite picture form our trip to Canada summer of 2006

We returned last night from what I consider our last adventure of the summer. Corben had a training @ the conference center in Cranberry on Tuesday and a meeting on Thursday in Bethal Park. So we all headed to Beaver County. We stayed with my Mom and Dad while there. On Tuesday after Corben was done with is training my sister, Pearl and I met him at Quacker Steak and Lube for lunch. Than upon our return to my parent's house Pearl and Corben went swimming which I figured would be the last time for the summer. Latter that evening we went to John's house and Pearl went four wheeling and we stacked fire wood. Pearl also helped Aunt Dottie make cupcakes. On Wednesday I went to the dentist, and got a pedicure. Aunt Dottie and Pearl made cookies, and Pearl and her Dad went swimming again. The remains of Tropical Storm Fay moved in so our trip to the Big Knob Fair was wet and short, but the gyros, french frys, and the famous Concord UMC funnel cakes still tasted great. Pearl's highlight was of course seeing the animals. Fay also resulted in my time with my sister picking black berries to be a wet experience, but we still had fun and got enough berries to make a cobbler. So on Thursday while Corben was at his meeting all day we went to my Grandma Aegan's and she taught us how to make a black berry cobbler. Pearl had a blast helping roll dough, but she never did try the end product. She says black berries are disgusting. After dinner Pearl and her Pap Pap went to the garden to pick green beans and tomatoes and Pearl picked the littlest watermellon I have ever seen but she is so proud of it. Pearl than decided to dig for treasue, so bath time happened before we left. We than headed for home listening to the football game and than finished watching the game at home. Pre-season is over. Come on regular season. Here we go Steelers. Fall is here. Today I will freeze our greenbeans so we can have fresh greenbeans this winter.

The Training was informative, helpful, and fun. The wings were great. Even though the summer is ending I doubt our adventures will since we are going to Nashville Tennessee and Atlanta Georgia as well as me graduating in December.

I will say freezing the green beans was rather fun especially with Pearl Heling.
