June 2019: Hawaiian Visitors, etc.

June was a month of good visits from the Hawaii Taylors and the New York Gibbs. We also replaced our water heater so all our visitors could enjoy hot showers when the house is full. In addition, we had our sick trees removed and replaced one of them. The weather was spectacular before the heat arrived in July. We also had a fun weekend in Vernal that will appear in the next post.

June was a very full month, but there is more from the end of the month. This is all for the moment, though.
