Time stopped when New Jersey daughter Kate and local grandson David took vacation days to be with me.. I thought of blogging often, but I didn’t take time to write for 22 days!!! I have lots of wonderful memories and a handful of photographs. They were here only a week, but I was busy getting ready and catching up afterward. I’ll share a few pictures to bring you up to date.
Going to our favorite waterfall was one of the first things we did. David (wearing blue) went out on the rocks, as he always does, and I took his photo from the bridge as I always do. He and Kate posed on the bridge where the road crosses the waterfall.
Kate helped burn garden trash and trimmed drooping tendrils from the Wicked Wisteria.
I can show a family portrait and happy faces about to eat pizza.
Kate took a selfie of us and a mountain-scape from the Blue Ridge Parkway.
And there you have it – my treasured week in a short post.

What a wonderful week you all had together. I recently had a cousin and her husband visit from Canada and I loved every minute. I was exhausted after but it was worth it. I loved the pictures.

Well you know halfway through your posting hiatus, I looked to see if I was unsubscribed to you as happened before and commented on that and you said you were getting ready for company. Well, lots of nice pictures here – the selfie of you and Kate and mother and son was nice as well.

Looks like a wonderful week! Which waterfall was that one? It looks familiar but I cannot place it in my mind.

That’s Sunburst Falls on highway 215. My niece gave me a gorgeous shower curtain of the falls in autumn.
