Eileen turns 40 as some of the Cashman Cousins gather


























I am the oldest of seven. Number 13 of 45 Cashman cousins - I remember because my Grandmother used to put the number on cards she would send you.
Every other year over the past few years, Margie and Maura have tried to coordinate a cousins party for those that can make it to Stillwater MN in July. We are spread across the US so not something many can accomplish.
This year was a smaller year but still a great day with near perfect weather and Eileen, the youngest in my family, hitting her 40th birthday. She received a sufficient amount of ridicule for being so you so that rest of us could feel better about falling higher in the family ladder.

Mahtomedi - Carly shows up....and we found Ron






Summer left Minnesota this week. It was only in the mid 50sF this morning with no sun. No doubt the heat is storing up to give us a very ugly August.
We had a great ride planned.
Things happen and Ron went missing in action...and found.
Led us to a different coffee spot to end the day and Carly, must have crawled out of bed, joined us!
We went right. Ron forgot to lock his car, quickly ran back and then went left. OOPs.
Summer will be back soon. And we may even get some rain some time soon.

The new grand niece - not enough time to get her passed all the way around



Boston - Dawit does the tall ships in the harbour







Saint Paul - biking, lunching, walking...and showering???













We are in the midst of a perfect summer in the Twin Cities. We have missed out on most of the rain - not good for the yard but has many other benefits.
Great for biking, walking dining al fresco.
And even bridal showers at my house - my house has never been so pink.
