Where to begin?

 The sunflowers are in full bloom now

The neighbors are having plenty of baby goats

 Mark & Janine still have the best view in the High Country.  Isn't it gorgeous in the summer?  WOW!

Spartacus!

Artemis!

And Sulu!

All the boys are doing just fine and enjoying the warm weather.

This girl came up to hang out with her dad --- they built some corn hole game boards and continued to stay occupied... and then some!

And Nina celebrated her 25th birthday while she was here ...

This young man turned EIGHT years old on August 6th!  His mom and dad took him to the NIC Hotel with a buddy of his! Lucky little boy, eh?   Happy Birthday, Christian Hall!  We love you.

We had an art show in Burnsville, NC at the Mt. Mitchell Crafts Festival and we honestly sold stuff!  It was awesome! And I am newly excited!

I now officially look like my mom.  WHEN did that happen?

Our building is progressing ... this is the way we left it.  I'll post after this week, the new look!

This sweet lady, Debbie stayed with us whilst doing an art show in Banner Elk.  What a lovely house guest!  She is definitely invited back!

Mark had a birthday!  Here are the brothers ... aren't they adorable?

They played corn hole - BIG surprise!

NOW, you're all caught up! 

Although I'm quite sure there are more details to unfold for you.

I  LOVE summer!

Happy Trails!

Paul and Cheri
