Business, Birthdays and Surgeries

Our beautiful Carlton Gardens is in a major summer slump due to construction that for a while blocked both of our driveways. It blocks only one of them now, but all the machinery out front gives the appearance that we're closed up. There is always plenty to do here but not behind the cash register. July is our birthday month, Franny (John's mother) was 103 on the 7th, the following week Carlton and John (who he introduces as "my dad") both had birthdays on the 13th. I missed the annual ball game celebration because I wasn't feeling well due to a series of kidney stone surgeries, the last one (hopefully) scheduled for August 1. The week after their birthdays I turned 73.
