Day Out (w/Kids!)

What to do on a free Saturday

....hmmmm....

 

well, take up Sherry's offer to get the Grandkids together,

of course!!

 





 

There were trolley rides

where keen eyes kept a lookout for pirate ships!...

 

 

and where, apparently, Gabe tells very, very funny stories!... 

 

 

A new version of cornhole was played...

 

and we had lunch at a fancy restaurant...

 

 

where they graciously provided "masks" for kids...

(Hey, they go on your laps, kids!)

 

 

Spiderman images were drawn...

 

 

...and little ones entertained the littlest one...



 

 

Wishes were made... 

...and we finally found a place

 to corral the kids in one spot for at least one minute... 

It was a fun day, Sherry!



 

 

And we have to do it again soon! 

 

 

I slept GOOD last night!

...how about you?!

 

 

 

 

 



Happy Fall!

 

 

 

~~Need I Say More~~

 



The Gift of a Video!

I was looking through my videos searching

for a particular one

when I came across this.
An oldie but goodie.

 

Produced by Yuriko as a surprise for me

after a visit she made to

 sunny St. A from rainy Seattle...

 

(Yuriko, I know you just went through a fabulous summer,

but we are on the threshold of fall,

so I think a sunshine trip may be in order for you!!)

 

So,

I thought this gift should be a part of this

blogjournal...

 

It contains appearances...
 

of some people special to me,
 

Storm and Angel, my animal friends,

a sweet reminder of our
deep sea fishing excursion!,

and a lovely pictorial of my home
and
the town that I love...

not to mention the excitement of "new shoes"!
 

 

I know I thanked you before,
but...

 

again.

These pictures represent sweet, sweet memories
that I cherish!



E(n)DIST(e)O BEACH

Edisto Beach,

population 691,

 a little South Carolina coastal town...

 

 

the perfect location for an urban family from Jersey!!

 

 

 ("Hey, where are all the people?!?!?")

 

Who wonder "where are the chain restaurants?,

 tourist attractions?,

bodies of water without alligators?,

 

traffic lights?,
noise?,

and people who react fast to situations...like serving food!?

WE ARE GOING CRAZY!!"

 

 ~~~

And then reinforcements arrived,

 

 

and the party began...

 

^^^

(Well, at least one person was a partier!)

Thank you, ShagFest, for providing entertainment from our balcony!

 

 

 

The town was still sleepy...

 

 

 

 

 

 

and

we had to find entertainment wherever we could...

 

 

 

 

 

^^^

Always the Princess

 

 

But add into the equation family who hasn't seen

each other in WAY. TOO. LONG.

 

 

 

 

 

 

and the setting becomes perfect!

 

 

 

Cousins,
big




and small,

have sweet moments together,

and they don't mind being seen carrying sippy cups...

 

~~~

 There are a number of
"You can't choose family...."
quotes
 out there,

but there is one thing for sure,

if you could choose family,




R's,

I would choose you!


Let's do this again next year,

or

next month,

or

next week!

 

 

 

We miss you!
