Uncle Leroy and Kaitlin drove from New Paltz to visit us in my parents' house. We had a nice brunch followed by a walk to the lake.

My parents' friends, Al and Lisa, brought their children, Renee and Danny, to the house for the 4th of July. They live just north of my parents, so they frequently visit when my parents are in Pennsylvania. We all went to the lake near my parents' house, where the housing association was sponsoring fireworks and a pot-luck BBQ.
My mom introduces Mike to Danny in the side yard:

Jazz accompanied me on a picture-taking excursion. The original pictures I had (see 2003) pre-dated the lovely furnishings that have been added to the house.
Upstairs, there is a guest bedroom (complete with Smoeky on my pillow), a full bathroom, and a study. The study has a small balcony.
Smoeky made herself comfortable on a folded bedspread.
Here's my Dad's truck, as seen from the bedroom:
On the way to the main floor, you see the dining room.
On the main floor, there is a master bedroom, living room, dining room, kitchen, garage, and sunroom (with my Dad and Mike.)
The main deck extends from the sunroom to the master bedroom.
