lilies in the swamp

They bloom in July.  They were blooming the day we bought the place ten years ago.

My Sweetie rides this tiny motorcycle pretty fast.

 Okay, John gave the kids a bag of receipts and papers to burn.  That's fine, except your brother and sister are going to go through the bag and question and laugh about it.   "They spent $127 at TARGET!" Bahahahaha.

Kids are easily amused.

 "He wants us to burn his own business card."

Oh my goodness.

 It's a Where's Waldo picture of the beach.

 Awww, that little face:

 This little face:

 He's always ducking from the camera.

 



This was taken after the closing, when we came back to check out our purchase in detail.  We looked in all around for about an hour before we came home, excited about all the fun we imagined we'd have there.

Julia was born four days later, so we didn't actually get back for two weeks, and now there are a lot more of us, grandchildren we couldn't even imagine  yet.   We would not even meet Heidi's Joe for three more months.

I wonder what the next ten years hold?    love you all, MOM aka GRANDMA, aka Val
