Family time

We returned to Uncle Bill and Aunt Patty's house this past weekend so Stace could help out again on the fence project. Bill, Stacey and Bill's friend Lee put in a full day's work, completing a long length of fence.

We got a very good idea of just how much private yard space Uncle Bill and Aunt Patty will gain when the project is finished.

We ladies had a very relaxed day. The weather wasn't beachy, so we stayed in; Cora made banana muffins, while I blogged and couponed.

Violet helped me (or practiced using scissors, depending on how you want to look at it).

A couple of days later, my coupon organizer was on the floor of the car, unlatched. Violet tried to assist me by bringing it into the house. And this happened. Thirteen divided sections, in a large pile. Oh well, it was time to throw out all the expired ones anyway!

On Tuesday, we went bowling with my family and then out to dinner, to celebrate several June occasions.

We'll be in England for Stacey's birthday, while Melanie and Nick will be back east on Nick's 30th birthday, a few days later. And my parents are leaving on Father's Day for a vacation of their own. So, Tuesday was a good day to share gifts, cards and time together.

Bowling suited Stacey as a family activity much better than miniature golfing. For starters, he won. Come to think of it, that's the main reason he liked it better...
