Summer Roundup, Part 1

I have so many pictures from the summer that need to get posted. We do so much, and are so busy, that I've barely had time to post about it. So, here, all at once, are as many pictures as I can fit into one post (which is probably a lot.)


This is Barle Soup and Sandwich (pronounced like the grain Barley). It's a new restaurant in Cleveland Heights. They specialize in...well, you can probably figure it out. Everything is fresh, mostly organic, and as local as they can get it. They also make homemade soups every day.

That's my mother. She lives right next door, so she came and met us for lunch.


It was an especially hot summer, but when the weather allowed, we invited residents to eat outside in the Rose Garden when we had our BBQ lunches and dinners.






Campfire time! No lighter fluid - just tinder, kindling, and fuel (large split logs).



This was our August campfire, We had several visitors. The two young people on the right are the grandchildren of one of our residents. The others are some of Sarah's grandchildren.






Our garden grew lush and bountiful.





We even have an apple tree out back by the garden.




A tour on Lolly the Trolley.

At the Rockefeller Greenhouse, Stone Gardens resident and artist, Sidney Rackoff and his wife stand in front of one of his sculptures.
