Celebrating Summer!

I've gathered some words and pics to sum
up my summer celebrations:
three months of delight - 
special visits with family and friends,
savoring delicious foods,
and spending time outdoors.

Birthday celebrations:
A sixty plus year for Grandma
Birthday roses from a friend's garden  
 The Three Rees (retirees) together
for a birthday breakfast
followed by a walk in the Botanical Gardens.
Teddy celebrates his third birthday
with friends at a Virginia park.

Bidding farewell to the Lundells :(
is not a celebration. But we do celebrate 
 years of friendship and sharing a
pew with them on Sundays!
And since they love to travel, we know
they'll come back to visit.

Slice of Life: Let's Start at the Very Beginning!

A recent family getaway took us to the Olympic Peninsula. Since our son Blake and his family live in Virginia, our times when we can all be together are precious and treasured.  Join us for our hike 
to the waterfall at Crescent Lake.
 
 Cousins hit the trail!
 All the boys, except baby Robby!
