last week sports

Started with a soccer, game, a tough game for the team, but they play well.

This guy looks like he could be a relative of my brother.  I sent it to Brad.

Cross country meet on another day:

Our little runner:

Mike's birthday, complete with all the cake eaters-

Volleyball!  She's become a very confident server, really doing well.

And a football game, won in the last minutes-

Love, Grandma
 

cabin friday

We drove up last night, and I worked from here today.  Dan arrived last night before bed, working from the lake too.

In the morning in the dark when I was logging in to work, Dan's computer screen could be seen glowing in the window across the road.

The steam coming off the lake took hours to disappear

The day was gorgeous.

Love, Val
 

happy birthday, joe

Happy Birthday Joe!

The last twenty years have been more interesting and held more surprises than we could have imagined.

Hoping the years ahead are filled with just as much love and happiness.

Best wishes for FORTY.

We sure do love you,   Val and Jay and Everybody

surprise trip to como

Heidi called in the morning and proposed this trip to Como.

Haven't been there in a long time, and the only thing on my agenda was Target, which is open until late in the evening.

It was gorgeous, sunny, warm, not croweded, perfect.

This viewing area was so much fun. The sea lions were showing off, enjoying themselves.

And this thing with the green rubber pad tripped that little one THREE times, made the shoes pop right off her feet.  She was annoyed, so not amused.

This was a great idea, but getting four kids to smile at once was a feat.

What a beautiful day. 

Love, Grandma
