Random Pictures from Summer

OK, time for some pictures to re-capture summer ... bear with me, or enjoy them!

Technically, Father's Day is in the spring, but .... here's Papa's Father's Day gift! His two favorite little girls sitting on his Harley!

The start of summer found Erika and her Papa at Wemple and Edicks doing more than just eating icecream!

Isabella Marie turned 1 year old in July ... we think she looks like Chris' baby pictures ;-)

Erika is picking black raspberries at our house. We also went to Mrs. Cleland's to pick blueberries.

The we captured her mom using sticky s'more fingers while camping at Northampton Campgrounds!

Here's a nice picture of Erika with her cousins, Hailee and Isaiah while camping.

My sister-in-law, Beth and me after a nice swim ... Beth's gonna KILL me! No .. wait! They're on their way to the Philippines and won't be back for at least a year or two ... I think I"m safe!

For Dad Pitcher's 89th birthday, Jimmy arranged a Model T ride for Dad, compliments of good friend, Danny (driver.) We all got to have a ride ...a first for me! Pictured from L to R: Dan and Beth DeOme, Mom and Dad, Danny, Bill ... don't know where Jimmy is ... I took the picture.

Mom and Dad Pitcher, married over 65 years! We treated them to dinner at the Homefront Cafe in Altamont, NY ...a really cool place to eat!

Swimming pool fun with Isaiah and friend, Daniel.

We had a really nice campfire going, and the rainbow did a "double" and stole the show!

Grandma and Dad Chapin came to the graduation party to celebrate with Amanda

No campfire would be complete without .... yeah, you guessed it!

Congratulations ... go to Bill for retiring from NYSDEC after over 26 years of service. Erika and I painted the banner. Erika also colored some pretty neat pictures of what Papa will do in retirement :-)

Bill, Julie and Erika Pitcher were the caterers and truly outdid themselves. Pictured here is Bill grilling his face, arms, shrimp and chicken.

Julie serving up the homemade coleslaw ... everything was homemade ... and absolutely delicious!

So, we don't mess with the ones holding sharp knives :-) Erika and Julie had matching shirts with a little "Ditomarie" applique on the front. Bill's shirt was red, but minus the applique.

One Less Star offered their music throughout the afternoon ... yes, this is Jeffrey and Amanda Pitcher! A favorite song for the crowd was ... one the "old" people could sing along with: "Earth Angel!"

Last but by no means, least was Linda Goodrich's cake .... OH ,YEAH! Also, many sincere thank yous to Anne and Theresa for their kind and able service behind the scenes ... appreciated by all!
