Hope you are all having a good summer. My parents came to visit last weekend.  It was a weekend filled with music.  We had a great night at the wine bar. As always, it was a wonderful crowd with talented featured singers (Thanks, Jamie, Gail, Jim and DAD!!) with people dancing on the patio under the stars.  Brenda took my parents to an outdoor Christian Concert (Avalon) at Island Park Saturday night. It was a beautiful night to sit outdoors, have a picnic and listen to some wonderful music.  They joined me at the VFW afterwards, and dad sang another song. For those of you who wondered where I developed my love for music, I obviously grew with up with it.  My dad is also quite a singer. 

Thanks to everyone who joined me this past Friday night at the Kettering VFW. It was nice to see some of our old friends again (Arabella, John, Dee).  We also got to see some good friends again Saturday night when we stopped by Alex's (Smith's and Mayberry's).  Yes, Alex's has reopened. They have a full service menu (steaks, seafood, appetizers, pastas, sandwiches, pizza and desserts).  They are open 7 days a week, including breakfast on the weekend. 

The hot summer days are taking a toll on our garden and plenty of watering is needed. I'm learning to do a "rain dance".  

Keep cool!

Musically, 

Cary
