Oh, to be a child again






Childhood + Summer + Water = Bliss



(even straight-out-of-the-well cold water!)




Water Ribbon




No common kiddie pool for us. How about a clean horse trough with sparkling fresh, and yes, cold water.

If there is magic on the planet, it is contained in the water.

Time Warp Birthday



Casey turns 40!


a truly psychedelic party is held in his honor



Casey @ 40



It's intriguing how costumes, in this case a "Seventies" theme,


will loosen people up in just the right?! way.



Cool




Even Drake got into the swing of things (literally) when he got

that 'magic' Afro wig on that came to the party on Ben

but made the rounds to most of the guys!

And Lola knows that Cheerios are definitely a vintage thing.

Family Reunion-Northern Edition


Another annual reunion this time on hubbie's side. Six siblings and their children and Grandchildren makes for a very large group. We always have great fun together talking, eating, playing and just catching up.

California Dreamin


Being with my Mom and Dad in California while my Dad recovers from open heart surgery has kept me away from this blog for a while.

My brother and his wife and and their daughter, who is home from college, live on a lovely piece of property with my parents.

The sun shone absolutely every day I was there!



I heart my family


We enjoyed meals together every evening. They love good food and are all great cooks.

Exquisite things to eat


The beautiful garden was in full bloom! Roses in every color, clematis, lavender, {blackberries for the above cobbler} lilies and other things too numerous to mention.

Mother's Garden


And the good news is that Dad is getting stronger every day! Miss you all!
