Kate, my youngest grandchild just graduated from middle school. I know everybody says this, but she has grown up so fast. It is hard to believe that she will be a freshman in high school this fall. After graduation, we had lunch and then two of her friends joined her and we all went to the lake. Three 13 year olds was quite a blast.

Amy credits my late husband, Ken Burns, for her interest in photography. Ken loved photography and over the years I had bought him some pretty sophisticated cameras. Amy and Ken would have conversations about the technical aspects of photography. She took this particular photograph with her I-Phone. The cameras are so good on the I Phones now that most people don’t even take a camera when they are vacationing. I know that I don’t. I always have my I Phone with me. My photographs are no where near the level of Ken or Amy but I enjoy taking pictures when I am traveling and of family.

Summer will be here soon and Lincoln will once again be visiting me and Burns Mailing & Printing. Lincoln loves being here with us at Burns. He comes in and greets everyone and gets hugs and pets and then he gets under my desk until time to go outside or get a drink.
