AND THE CELEBRATING GOES ON!

YESTERDAY WAS WITH A BIRTHDAY DINNER

AT THE GRANDAUGHTER THREE'S

WHEN WE ARRIVED, THE HOUSE WAS A BUZZ
WITH ACTIVITY.

OLIVIA HAS BECOME QUITE THE SEAMSTRESS,
AND WAS SEWING HERSELF A PAIR OF PJ'S.

WHEN SHE WAS SHOOED FROM THE TABLE,
SO IT COULD BE SET FOR DINNER, SHE REVERTED TO
WORKING ON HER PROJECT ABOUT THE BOOK
WIN DIXIE, THAT'S DUE NEXT WEEK.

ROXANNE WAS BUSY PUTTING TOGETHER
HER SCIENCE PROJECT.
(IT'S DUE TODAY!)

BEING THE PERFECTIONIST SHE IS, I'M BETTING
SHE WAS UP PRETTY LATE LAST NIGHT,
GETTING IT JUST RIGHT.

SYDNEY WAS BUSY TAKING PAPA FOR A RIDE, SHOWING HIM
HOW GOOD SHE'S GOT AT DRIVING HER MANUAL SHIFT JEEP.
THE FAMILY IS LUCKY TO HAVE HER AS THEIR RUN AROUND GIRL.
SHE HAD TO PICK UP PROPANE FOR CRAIG'S BBQing , AND PAPER
FOR ROXANNE'S SCIENCE PROJECT.

CRAIG WAS THE CHIEF COOK, PATTI THE SALAD MAKER,
AND CHIEF CLEANER UPPER.
WE HAD MELT IN YOUR MOUTH BBQed SALMON, HIS FAMOUS 
ROSEMARY POTATOES, GARLIC BREAD, AND SALAD.
YUM!!!

AND IF THAT WASN'T ENOUGH,
CRAIG MADE THIS WONDERFUL
CHOCOLATE BOBKA CAKE.

IT WAS AS DELICIOUS AS IT LOOKS!
IT WARMS MY HEART TO SEE HOW THIS FAMILY CAN 
EACH WORK INDEPENDENTLY, BUT HELPING EACH OTHER,
WHILE THE WHOLE EVENING COMES TOGETHER
LIKE A FINE TUNED CLOCK.

THANKS GUYS, FOR
ANOTHER WONDERFUL EVENING!!!

WE SPENT THE NIGHT IN MONTEREY,
THIS WATERFALL ALWAYS REMINDS ME OF
MANY, MANY YEARS AGO, WHEN ABBEY DECIDED TO
SEND HER LITTLE BEAR INTO IT, FROM THE THIRD FLOOR,
SO IT COULD TAKE A SWIM.

A NICE WALK ALONG THE WATER TODAY,

AND AN EARLY DINNER AT ONE OF OUR FAVORITE SPOT'S.
 (I'M SURE YOU RECOGNIZE IT FROM PREVIOUS BLOGS)

 AND IT WAS TIME TO HEAD FOR HOME.
