U.S. Open

Elijah was pretty excited when Goosey (Woody) offered to teach him how to play tennis.  They found the junior tennis racket that we bought Melany when she was Elijah's age.  Then they headed off to find a tennis court.  They played for a while and then came home about the time that Melany, Wade, and Alex arrived.  We had our family Labor Day cookout for the supper meal this year.  Erin didn't join us as she is visiting with Wade's parents.  The children had fun playing together and roped Aunt Melany and their daddy into playing several games...Melany played Sorry with several of them and Nathan played a game of baseball with several...until he had to start up his duties of cooking the hamburgers and hot dogs. Alex taught Graham a new card game.  We ate at Nathan and Kathy's.  I think that a fun time was had by all!  Happy Labor Day 2014!

(I will add just so I can remember...Woody did admit that he got awfully tired today when he had hardly done anything...just gone out and emptied the kitchen wastebasket and the compost bucket.  He came back in and sank into his chair.  He said that he guessed he couldn't tell Dr. Sosman at his next appointment that he hadn't had any fatigue.)
