Summer Flowers in PA

it seems everyone that lives in Lancaster County has a green thumb

everywhere you look, there are gorgeous flower beds

not sure of the names of many of the flowers

so if you know some of them, feel free to leave me a note and let me know!

Visit to Pennsylvania

I visit my Dad as often as I can, when I get to PA

we always go up to the Dutch country and ride the steam train

drive through the countryside

and have a great time

July Fish Fry!

Sunrise, the coolest part of the day

since the lake level has continued to drop, we chose a different entry point

to help Donna & Rodney get their boats into the lake

EVERYONE caught fish!

Wayne caught the most fish

we had a great fish fry! (sorry no photos)


then came back and fished till dark
another great day!

2008 Jistel Family Reunion

just a small portion of the clan:
here's a link to many more from this reunion and other family photos

4th of July Weekend

No fireworks this year since it's been so dry

nature tried to provide some relief, no rain at this point,
but some great clouds

tried working on panning with the camera, John-John obliged by zooming by

and here he is catching his first real bass

mine was bigger though ;-)

Fishing in June

the water level is dropping at the lake, meaning more work to get there

but totally worth it

for the fishing

and for the views
