Blue River Summer Checklist 2012

Family (especially Grand-kids), people from faraway places and rafting are what Blue River summers are about.  Mike and I pride ourselves in having a bit of paradise to share. As the summer weather has finally arrived, here is my summer checklist for Blue River essentials.

Wow, Margaret, a lot of that was in place when I visited you that year. You guys do a beautiful job with your property. And then you prepare it to share with others. Your grandkids are so fortunate that they have you and w/in visiting range. Hope they know it. You and Mike are a great team and wonderful parents and grandparents. Love to you both, Petie

I'll be right down! Only have one snag. I am in charge of a 50 person family reunion at the beach...Camp Magruder...this weekend. Your place looks soooo inviting. Have fun with the grand-kids, etc.

Ah, to be a child at your place. I think I can fake it, if I could only make time to get there :) Have a wonderful time with those precious youngsters Margaret!
