Counting our Blessings -- The Summer in Numbers

Thinking back on all the things John and I have done since coming to Marblehead, it seemed best to try to portray the summer in numbers.  I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things, but here's our summer in a nutshell:
-- 5 months in Marblehead, 4 swim cards purchased (10 swims each = 40 swims in Danbury HS pool for Gayle), 3 Historic sites (Edison birthplace, Rutherford B Hayes Presidential Center, and Johnson's Island Confederate Cemetery),  2 Festivals (Marblehead Summerfest and Halupki Festival), and 1 fishing trip (Thank you, Marc Cassaro!)

-- 5 trips to Cedar Point, 4 Wineries (Firelands, Hermes, Heineman's and Chateau Tebeau), 3 Kayak trips, 2 Islands (South Bass and Kelley's), and 1 lighthouse (Marblehead).

-- 5 visits by my Mom, 4 parties, 3 birthdays, 2 overnight visits from Sean, and a 1 month stay by Jake while he worked here.
-- Then there were the 10+ live music shows, 4 Bald Eagle sightings, 1 wedding, several visits with good friends, lots of good food, innumerable walks, runs (John),  and bike rides, uncountable acquaintances, unquantifiable fun with Lisa and Carlton, Kevin and Ginny, Barb and Dennis, Marcie and Marc and many other family members, and immeasurable enjoyment.  All thanks to our all-knowing, omnipresent, infinitely merciful and gracious God.  To Him be all the glory!
