Happy
Star Spangled July to you all! 
It's

Chris
and Robin had a wonderful day for their wedding
on June 5th.
Here
is a photo of the ceremony at Corbin Bridge Park
in Newport, New Hampshire.
The
Wedding Kiss.
The
wedding Party L to R: Robin's sisters, Kristen
Pelechowicz, Laurie Spielvogel

Alana (flower girl), Chris' daughter,
Jordan Heiser, Robin Heiser, Chris Heiser, Robin's
son, Kyle O'Bannon,
Chris' cousins, Jason Heiser and Jerry
Jokinen.
Here
is a beautiful photo of my 9 year old granddaughter,

I
have prepared a few more maple recipes for Ben's
Sugar Shack: Oatmeal
Maple Drop
Cookies;
Maple
Apple Dessert;
Maple
Sweet Potatoes;
and Maple
Caramels.
I
have had word from Phil O'Brien in Mohill, Co.
Leitrim, Ireland.
She said
that the
weather has
improved very much since the rainy
summer and freezing snowy winter
last year.
At present, Mohill is hosting
the Province of Connacht Fleadh
Cheoil Competitions, which is an Irish traditional
singing and
dancing
festival.
She
said that there will be singing and dancing in
all the
pubs and
in the
streets. Money
raised by the event will go to
keeping
Irish heritage alive with traditional
music and
dance. It sounds
like a fun time to me because
I love traditional Irish music and dance.
I
hope that you all have a wonderful July and,
in August, I hope to
have more news
to report,
so until then ...
Slainte,
Tyna
