We really enjoyed everyone being here yesterday-- There was ribs for supper----and after a day swimming, they were hungry.
Our daughter has rented a B@B in town--- and I hate to admit it, but, I was exhausted after we finished dinner-- so, I was happy to say good nite to all, and this morning I am ready for action once again--I have to admit that I am not ageless--Lord love a Duck eh?---
Son #2, the Pilot, is in Zurich, Switzerland-- flew there last nite--but, he too will be here next week with this family--and I hear a Family picture is in the works--
Yesterday was a mixed up day, here in our town, bank-wise-- all stores wanted "cash only"-- or a credit card--- This world really has changed hasn't it?--Did it affect you where you live?--It was all people talked about here.
So, until to-morrow--- "STAY STRONG"--We women have to "make things happen"---
-It's a new day and we are in it---
Oh wow. Your beautiful photos made me homesick ... REALLY homesick, for Michigan summers and going 'Up North'. The lakes and docks and trees. For a few minutes I thought 'what the heck am I doing here, alone in a place that doesn't have even one family member. But then I realised I'm tending to a house that was my husband's every wish (aside from me), and that I'm working with some family members to bring them here, to live with me. I hope they won't feel too homesick to be here. I never have, until just this moment, thinking of Michigan summers up north. I'm so glad you'll have all of your family together again. That's quite a miracle! ❤️
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful day!! Nice for the kids and you too! The news says there was a big online outage in Canada recently. Hope it's back on. Donna_cps2 here near Chicago!!
ReplyDeleteFun times! Your grandchildren will cherish those times at grandmas house. Getting tired is easy to do! I hope you have a fabulous family week! Yes, women have to keep it all together!🤪 Hugs!:)
ReplyDeleteIt must be like a vacation resort for the grandkids…all the fun toys, snacks, a family day to remember!! Enjoy every minute, Lynda! ❤️ Eissa7
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images and the recognition of the beauty of the season! Yes, financial things have "accelerated" their changing here, too. Parking garages insist on credit card payment, some event ticketing, too... they don't want to mess with cash. Reservations having to be online, that's a thing since the pandemic, too. Our world, it keeps a-changing, and we adapt, don't we?
ReplyDeleteSounds like it was a great day. And today will be even better. And Rogers is in the process of restoring the network. Oh - just heard that interact is fully running so people can buy without cash! It seems it was a new world for the younger population who don't use cash much. Have fun with lots of family there. It will be a busy day - enjoy!
ReplyDeleteSounds like an active, lovely day w/the family! Hope today is a repeat!

Love the pictures. The kids and grands had a great time. Making great memories for everyone. I bet you are tired. Hosting 1000 family members lol.
ReplyDeleteSure hope the banking, credit card thing gets rectified quickly. Enjoy your day! Hoping Fred is doing ok.
Hugs
Thanks for the great family pictures! So many memories being made, and lots of food to eat fir everyone! Glad you can get some rest later on. Take care! Ethelmerz
ReplyDeleteChildhood through middle adulthood Lake Memories of extended family gatherings at an aunt & uncle's place always bring smiles to me!
ReplyDeleteMemories in the making at yours that will not be forgotten.
I have Rogers cable and my internet and landline phone went down yesterday. Thank goodness my TV stayed on but people who come to see me have to buzz to get in our apartment building and the buzzer system is hooked up to my phone so now no one can buzz me! Internet is back but not my phone, it says No Line on it! Otherwise, I was okay about it cause I was right at home.
ReplyDeleteCommenting about your daughter's children - they are both adorable and yes, I think it's great that she & her children are staying at a B & B in town, it gets exhausting having people around, as much as it's loved, and we need that break at night to rest.
Love all the photos and what a wonderful family you have, Lynda, be happy with them, always.
Love to you, Fred, your furry babies and all your family xoxo
Sounds like a wonderful way to spend the day - and ribs for dinner, what could be better than that! And I agree, after a full day like that it's kind of nice to have the house to yourself for awhile!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you had a great day with your family yesterday. I hope you even have a better day today. It is a good thing your daughter is staying in a B&B I know it was hard to have her say she was going to do that but I think you are glad she did. You are going to need that down time in the evening. Enjoy the rest of the visit with your family.
ReplyDeleteLove all the pictures. Nice looking family.
What a wonderful day spent with children and grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteIT looks like a wonderful way to spend a summer day. Vacations with family can be exhausting. Sometimes you need a vacation from the vacation.
ReplyDeleteThe stores would not take the debit card from your bank? Weirdl
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos! Lucky you are with your family visiting. I am sure Himself and the pets (with the possible exception of Sushi) enjoyed the visiting, too. Lopez probably got lots of attention. Was he overwhelmed?
My youngest son turned 40 a couple days ago. Makes me feel ancient!{{{HUGS}}}
