We said good bye to my dad's youngest sister today.  She will certainly be missed.  We took a family photo of most of my cousins and my dad's remaining brother and sister.  It's been a long time since so many of us were together.  My mom took this photo.  On the way home we hit stopped traffic for 2 hours, so that's my photo for the day.

I went on a trip with my mom, brother and sister for the funeral of one of my aunts.  It's been a long time since we were together in one car for travel.  My brother insisted on stopping for a paper map so my sister and I looked it over, bringing back memories of the days before GPS.  However, we are very grateful for GPS- it makes driving in the cities quite a bit easier.

She passed the test today.  So glad- I was tired of the cone practice!  Plus, it's been a nuisance getting her to school.  Now she can drive herself to school, and then out to the airport several miles away.  She has classes there too.

We're getting one more night of practice for the cone test before her driving test Wednesday.

We had a red sunset last night and sunrise this morning.  It looks like we're getting haze from Canadian wildfires again.

We dug some potatoes today. They're not as big as other years but still good.

The peach trees are loaded this year.  We propped up the limbs today, but the tree on the left is starting to split in half.
