FAMILY weekend comin' up!

This weekened 90 kids, grandkids and great-grandkids...and assorted spouses... are descending on our home town for a photo shoot. 

My MIL will be 80 next year, and she has asked her eight kids and spouses, 32 grandkids.. and spouses, 30-some and counting great grandkids to all smile pretty for a BIG family pic!

Almost everybody is able to come.  One of our daughters changed their long-held cabin reservations, so they could be in the picture. (actually - they changed their vacation to make grandma happy...)

Will be SWEET .... as they say... to have our kids, hubbies and GRANDBABY here for the weekend.  Hooray!

Sunday ramblings.....

Most of my flowers are in containers lining the walkway to the back door. 
Here is a gorgeous geranium from the Master Gardeners' plant sale.

These plants will be much bigger soon....

I love the "chocolate" leaves on the geranium at the top of the picture, and the bright white begonia and cheerful blue-purple lobelia.

My only rose died back to the root, and I am hoping that when these buds open, we will see the original rose, which I transplanted from my MIL's house, many years ago.

Finishing up a baby quilt for grandbaby #2....used a darling already quilted panel... so really didn't have to do that much :)

Take care, ya'll!

Sunny Day!

We are enjoying a real, almost summer day! High 70's ... no wind (hooray!!) .....just downright nice!!

Attended a memorial service for our neighbor's dad.... a healthy, sweet 70 year old grandpa.... died suddenly from a heart attack.  His son, our neighbor is struggling....

He was a Hispanic fellow, from Texas, and most of the JW service was in Spanish.... I worked hard to catch words or phrases.  "Hermano Adrian" - "brother Adrian."

And ...the ice maker water line is IN....guess it will be as long as 24 hours before ice is available... I am excited!!

#2 grandbaby is a healthy baby GIRL..... YAHOO!  Shopping.... here I come!
