We spent a week with friends at Deep Creek Lake this month.  It was great to get away from the record-breaking heat we were having at home.

A "Derecho" came through our area late last month and left a quite a bit of damage due to fallen trees and high winds.  Granny and Pop-Pop's power was out for an extended period, so they packed up their freezer contents and the dogs and spent some time at our place.  There was no damage to their house but two large tree limbs snapped off and fell in their backyard.
