We were happy to be together.
lots to eat
Sisters

cousins
Granny and her daughter and grandchild
cousins tussling
Always a good time when we are together.
I took these pictures
while I was waiting for the kids
to arrive in the limo
on their way to dinner
before the dance.
Girls like flowers
Guys full of swagger in stiff new shoes
Parents play paparazzi
then hand them their hearts
to take with them
to the dance.
thought for the day:
If you get past
the diapers
and the teenage angst
and keep your sense of humor ,
your kids will like you
when they're grown
and occasionally
take you out for margaritas.
This is
my Mariah and Michelle,
who I helped keep alive
during the teen years.
We danced
Drank
And made friends
with the band
Judging frommy expression, I must have felt he was a tad too friendly!
What can I say?
It beats the hell out of Chuck E. CHeese!
I could feel the first hint of fall in the air.
I was desperate to get out in the woods.
I woke Tom up and dragged him to the car with his first cup of coffee.
The air smelled great , didn't it, Jack?
The woods were sun-dappled and quiet.
Spanish moss hanging from the trees
Jack and I on a board walk over the swamp.
The spring water was actually cold!
We were so glad to be out.
We were also thrilled to see our car,
4 hours later!
Hoping you get lost in your good times,
Marti
