Senior pictures came back today.

 

All grown up.

Wow.

Tim? Thanks for showing up and looking great.

Love, Mom 

ghost!

Look at that!  

We were in line at Fleet Farm and I told Jay, "I kind of love that ghost."  

He said he would go over and check the price. Next thing I know, he's in line behind me to purchase it.

Good choice!   

This crazy thing has made this weird fall a tiny bit better.

Love, Val

Thursday we had a little pre-birthday lunch together. Even Cramp-aw was there.

Happy Birthday, Violet!

It's been one heck of a couple years, but here you are, healthy and strong, eating with your family, standing on two feet, dancing to Frozen tunes every day.

We love you, girlfriend.  Can't wait to see what the next year brings.

Love, Grandma and Grandpa and Everybody

 

last day of summer, 2020

So very, very tired, and also glad for this lovely day.

Love, MOM

first signs of fall

perfect september

It was a lovely weekend,  perfect weather, fresh breeze, exactly right.

We went to the thrift store in town and the antique shop, found a few treasures in the junk section.

It's a beautiful Hall bowl.  I've never seen this pattern before and couldn't find it online either.

And these two little Occupied Japan cuties, $4 each.

And the old lamp--the cord is junk, but I asked Tim to re-wire it for me.  It'll be great.

They flew kites in the field in the afternoon.

Love you all, Val, aka Grandma
