Milestones

Time is moving on!

Today, my youngest grandchild, came over to show me his driver's license and took me for a ride around the block on his truck. He just got the license this morning! He's a very good driver and I wouldn't be afraid to go anywhere with him.

My eldest grandson is home from his honeymoon. My newest granddaughter-in-law has posted a wedding photo on her blog.

My youngest granddaughter got married in December of 2007. My eldest granddaughter is getting married in September of this year. My middle granddaughter is making plans.

Time is moving on!

Familly Reunions and Yellow Lady Slippers

Okay Renie, I took your suggestion.

On Sunday my husband's family had their annual reunion. This year it was held in the train depot in a small town south of us. I think we set a record this year in attendance. It was good seeing everyone and having lunch together one more time. Most of us ate inside the building but there were tables set up outside on the loading dock also. This depot is no longer used by the train. Now it is a favorite place for weddings, parties, and other events.

These yellow lady slippers were in a flower bed of the first home my daughter rented when she moved to the mountains of NC. These are the only yellow lady slippers I have ever seen. In the east, when I was a child and got out and explored the woods, I would sometimes see pink lady slippers. I haven't seen any since I took this picture. The lady who owned the house my daughter rented was rescueing endangered plants.

I Love A Rainy Day !

Well, let me say this. I love a rainy day if I don't have to get out in it to go anywhere. And today is such a day.

The grass is loving this day. The tobacco growing in the field across the road is loving this day. And that clover in the middle of the lawn is certainly enjoying this day.

Today is perfect for staying on line and checking out all your blogging buddies' posts. And for reading the local weekly paper that comes on Wednesday.

Good story in there today about people from Australia coming to our little town looking for relatives. Seems the soldier from here fathered a son during World War II while serving in Australia. That son is here visiting relatives he never knew until his first visit a few years back. It was a sweet tender story. The son's parents never married anyone else. They have both passed on. He has love letters his dad wrote to his mom all those years ago.

On rainy days, even the traffic in the back yard slows down. Not too many people cutting grass today.
