To Mary: Your face brings a smile to my face every day, and for that, I’m forever grateful. Happy anniversary to the person who makes my heart sing.
When we woke up, we found that our yard was clean, and everything was stacked and ready for pickup by the rental company! It was a dream come true!

The only thing we had to do was cover the chairs and pack away our table decorations which we have used in the past.

Yesterday, Colleen visited her mother at the hospital while the Armstrongs watched a movie. Mary and I spent the day at home, and later in the evening, we joined Colleen in the 90.1-degree pool for some relaxation.
After the swim with Colleen we did marshmallows!
The moon joins us!

Did You Know? The Merriam-Webster dictionary, which defines s’mores as “a dessert usually consisting of toasted marshmallow and pieces of chocolate bar sandwiched between two graham crackers,” suggests the first known use of the word was in 1974.
It appears the treat was a campfire staple long before the dictionary officially recognized it: The first known s’mores recipe was published in the Girl Scouts handbook Tramping and Trailing With the Girl Scouts in 1927. The snack was originally called “some mores.”
Campers at Deer Run Camping Resort in Gardners, Pennsylvania, built what could just be the world’s largest s’more. Weighing in at 267 pounds, the supersized sweet included 140 pounds of marshmallows, 90 pounds of chocolate, and 90 pounds of graham crackers.
S’Mores were being prepared almost immediately.
Paul chomps down on the delight hoping it will not take away his fillings!
Paul gets the munchies.
A professional at work!

We got several nice messages from our friends about the party and how everyone had a good time. That made us feel good!
