August-going fast

Wednesday August 20 and sun sets sooner
Air is cooler and ripe apples-taste best.
Day of health history for Blackie dog
After a clipping yesterday a trip to the
Vet today. Age is showing a bit and exercise
Becomes a must lest she weigh too much.

Me and the three in D.C.

3 days in D.C.

Saturday night-August 2:
Last week Thursday, thru Sunday was a once in a lifetime experience. How often do you experience the swearing in of an immediate family member and the official welcoming of a Vietnamese grandchild in a 3 day family meet in Washington D.C.?
Last Friday and Saturday were history for the Hayes family as Nancy, Tim's wife, was officially sworn in as ambassador to Bulgaria on Friday and Nancy & Tim's youngest Alyssa, was welcomed to our family by ceremony of 2 Vietnamese clergy on Saturday?
It doesn''t only blow your mind, but it inflates youur ego in more than one way.
This is the first draft, later, more with pictures.
