Flashback Friday...In the Garden

I heard thru the grapevine that Grandpa Bob's garden is alive and well and that a certain grandson has stepped up to take on all things Zucchini with an obsession that matches his Grandpa's.

Kelly, when you see the vegetables perfectly stacked and lined up like little soldiers in a row, please resist the urge to topple them. Just "oooh and ah" and let him mess around in your kitchen. I'm sorry, it's in the genes and if you're lucky maybe you will get a tomato pie for Valentine's Day in 40 years...just like my mom did (to which she gently told the giver "thank you;" and "you don't have to make that again.")

Having major flashbacks of our fruit filled summers. I'm on a bing cherry binge.
I think I've ate 9 pounds of cherries in the last 2 weeks : )

Bobby!

Happy Birthday to Bob!

Cheers!

and
Hope you have a great day!

Happy Anniversary!

Flashback Friday...Double take

Enola Lynn as a newborn

I did a double take when I saw this picture of Enola posted on Verna's blog.

Seemed like I had seen this kid somewhere before.
Then I remembered where:

Whitney as a newborn.

And oh, if I have my dates straight, it is Whitney's birthday???
Happy Birthday Whit.
And congratulations to the 3 of you!

Happy Birthday!

Sister Susie!

Enola Lynn!

Welcome to the Circle of Love!

We're glad you're here!

Lazy Days of Summer ??

Really?
Is this just a phrase or do they really exist?

If so, I would like to spend some time here:
No.
These days of summer have been anything, but lazy.

So much going on. Sorry I've been absent.

Graduations.
Birthdays.
Weddings.
Anniversaries.
Hospitals. Jeff.
Videos.
Funerals.
Drive time
Working
Out of town guests and visits.
Loads of pictures.

You get the picture.
Or in this case, haven't gotten the picture, cause there has been no time to sit down and tell stories and show pictures.

But anyway,
Thanks for checking in...
I'll try to schedule some lazy days of blogging in soon.
Until then...
keep taking that winding road.

I miss you...

Sandy is......five and the zero
