A lot has happened since I last added to this semi-private picture journal. Last night we were out with our 2 daughters and their husbands for a fine dinner at Bostwick Lake Inn. Carlton has been working nearly full-time since late spring at the John Ball Zoo, plus keeping his dozen rentals in shape and coaching kids teams, which means we have our wonderful granddag Tank at Carlton Gardens nearly every day. Customers love her. Here we are at the Hollyhock Lane parade, the longest continuous July 4th parade in the city, also the earliest in the morning.
