Vacations!

Uncategorized 1 Minute

This year we participated in four vacations – those of daughters Lise and Kate and grandsons David and Nathaniel. We stayed at home, and all the fun and excitement came to us.

The first evening David spotted a box that had come for Lise. Knowing he was famous for squeezing into tight spaces, I wasn’t surprised that he headed for it. He was inside it in no time.

The next morning Lise and I headed for the creek. It’s traditional for a photo to be taken at the creek on the first walk of a visit. Both creek and daughter posed for me.

It was as good a time as any for a selfie.

As I write this, we are waiting for Kate and Nathaniel to get here from her home in New Jersey. It’s a grueling 12-hour drive. She is much, much braver than I am.

  5. Look at that Skinny Minnie Lise – soon she will be fitting in the box like David is. That’s a great picture of the the two of you … hope your weather is pleasant for many more walks to the Creek over the next two weeks.

      1. You are right Anne- Detroit weather is the pits lately. We had a very hot weekend, they called for rain – nothing. Now severe weather for Tuesday morning. We don’t have “normal anything” – it always has to be supersized.

          1. That’s on the menu for us tomorrow morning – at least it will break this heat spell for a bit. Sometimes Mother Nature gives quite a light show, better than fireworks, and you can enjoy it from your front porch.
