The month went by so fast...we had several highlights... and made many good memories... Jake's Visit
We enjoyed Jake's company right after finals. The weather was pleasant for outdoor grilling, Wylie Park, and the golf course.
Family I loved that both Amy and Emily were here for the Dance Recital and Reception. Then we had the family together for dinner on the eve of Emily's move to her apartment and for summer school.
Mom's Place
I spent several days staying at my mom's and helping her around her little apartment.
The Summer Arts Festival

A June highlight is the annual Arts in the Park. Here, hubby is playing drums w
ith a Jazz Group under the Entertainment Tent. The gentleman at the keyboard...that's Ron, in addition to being a talented musician, he is my favorite houseparent at Central.

The food alley is perhaps the most popular. Emily and I enjoyed our annual Indian Taco. Remember last year we shared one? Was way too messy, so this year we each ordered our own.
And when did this happen? I thought that I was the young mom with little girls waiting with their dollar to buy a water balloon Yo Yo...now, it is just another sweet 'Remember when we always got those...' memory.
A June Wedding
We celebrated the union of Kent and Jenna at a beautiful outdoor wedding cerem
ony, reception and dance. They both teach with me at Central. The cake was adorned with flowers...so pretty.

Celebrating My BirthdayI want you to see the lovely gifts that I received from friends and family. Paula, who recently traveled to Europe with her students, brought this her
b dispenser from Southern France. From the LaFaves, this sweet Bread Dipping plate. From Amy, a package in the mail, containing this awesome salad set. (more on this later)
I think they all know how much I love to cook.
From Emily, a little Victoria Secret pouch, it matches my make-up bag and a gift certificate for a pedicure. She knows I wouldn't spend $$ to pamper myself in that way!

The Meowy Birthday package from hubby contained a memory card for my Blackberry Phone.

From Mom in law, a new teacher tote bag, with laptop sleeve and the best part...wheels!

Celebrating 60 years of Marriage
We just returned from the Black Hills where family gathered to celebrate a wedding anniversary. All the children and 
grandchildren are musical. Here they sang for the program, "Bless this House".
Later that evening, more family singing and the young-at-heart couple took the dance floor.
And one cannot go to the Black Hills without experiencing the beauty of Spearfish Canyon.

June was full of family, friends and fun activities...a great start to summer.

June appears to be a busy and memorable month for you. Love the pictures...especially the one with the water balloons...where does the time go???
So many wonderful things happening!
What a busy and happy month you had! And happy birthday too! It is evident from reading the June summary that your time was filled with family, love and laughter. How wonderful for you to love so many and be loved by so many. I'll bet each and every month of your life is as happy as the previous month. It always makes me feel good when I read your blog.

Your month was busy AND wonderful!
Really, seriously, what happened to June??
Your family is beautiful. I love looking at all the things that you did!
What a full month!! I always refer to this part of the year as our "busy season." Don't forget to sit back and relax a bit while school is closed.
Wow, you had a great month! I hope July is just as memorable for you and your family!!
