There are the usual summer activities on Long Island - beach walking/running, fishing, bike riding, looking at the Tall Ships in Greenport, visiting with family, making the trip to Connecticut to see Greg, Jess and Flint. There is a tree in the back yard that has come part way down during a storm and needs topping, so Richard brings the boom truck over and Ann gets a ride way up in the air - high enough to see the Sound, pond and a bird's eye view of the surroundings. We visited Teresa and John in Westhampton and marvel at how old their kids are. Flint continues to grow by leaps and bounds.
