sunday morning snooze

Buttercup loves to sit on the stool in the kitchen. This morning she found it in a spot of sun and took a little snooze. ~~Rhonda

silly zilli

Monday we spent some time camming with our daughters who are out east, attending college and pursuing their paths in life. They were laughing at Zilli. We were teasing her with a foxtail. Fun was had by all. 🙂 ~~Rhonda

riding lessons

DD *loves* riding lessons. She thinks it’s the greatest thing she got to do this summer. We’re keeping them up as long as it will work out. She has a great teacher. He’s patient and meticulous about teaching and reviewing the things she needs to know. We thought about doing this last year, but it […]

bicycles in RAIN and a daylily garden in the rain

We spent the past weekend in Indiana, where DH completed his best time for RAIN (Ride Across INdiana). The bicycle ride is 160 miles in one day, from Terre Haute to Richmond. DH finished in 9 hours and 46 minutes. The weather was perfection with a high around 70* and a nice tail wind that […]

Yeah for pancakes! And after their afternoon nap, a little pool time. They thought it was just as much fun to […]

sweet baby faces

How cute are these faces, entranced by the pictures on Grandpa’s camera? Grandpa, snoozin’ while on duty. The girls had a good time on the east porch this evening after dinner. Big sissy, little sissy. ~~Rhonda ::enjoying being a grandma::

menu plan monday ~ july 6, 2009

We are having a wonderful visit with our son, his wife and the grands. The twins love to have their pictures taken. Sometimes it’s hard to get a photo because they are in such a hurry to get to the camera to look at the previews. We have several things scheduled this week, so I’m […]

Today is our oldest child’s 30th birthday. We’re so happy he and his family are visiting this week, and that we were able to celebrate his birthday with him. Birthday cake was enjoyed by all. Along with peach pie and apple pie, and home made ice cream…mint chocolate, raspberry, and vanilla. It was quite a […]
