US Open Tennis

Two days! Opening two days means over ten matches at any one time.
It was special for us because we shared the event with a granddaughter.

Crabgrass in the lawn.

Nearly impossible not to have crabgrass in the lawn!

Our lawn belongs to the association but it is fun to claim the patch of green straight out of the front door.

Therefore I spent an hour on my knees digging a few hundred thousand seeds attached to ugly crabgrass.

Today I drive back 114 miles.

Trash day is Friday.  I drive a friend on Thursday. Mail piles up if we are at camp for extended days. I drove to #20 on Wednesday evening and will return after the trash truck leaves our neighborhood.

Back and forth #20 to camp and reverse camp to #20.

Alex and family have been in tropical North Australia and are starting the various legs south and then the long flight north back to California.

Oquossoc Union Church , Tony's message

Pass the baton of faith. He put down the track from Peter through all the various power writers. Martin Luther, John Calvin to yesterday morning's faithful.

In 1996 the United States men's relay team dropped the baton. He told of two of his early childhood mentors.

One said to him, "you always are saying gimme!"

My words, he gained importance (value) of giving as well as getting.

Three of my mentors great grandmother Amelia and two of her sons.

In what manner do I pass the baton of faith? Often not through words.

Robin Robert's mother or grandmother would ask, " have you tended your soul today?"

A brother and family visited.

We returned the three to the airport two hours away this morning.

Yesterday all saw where we live for many days each summer.  We have room to sleep seven, with shower and flush included. In the years 2016, 17, 18 and now 2019 we have spent many days in July and August at  CAMP.

Brother and family also treated us to ice cream at the well known Rangeley Frosty. Always good summer ice cream.

August the month after July

Also the last summer month. And then we get September.  Much of September in Maine is also pleasant. Fewer bugs, cooler air and (you fill in the blanks). Winter, spring, summer and fall.
