Such beautiful pictures to remind you of the wonderful time you had with your family! It is nice to hear that the grandkids enjoy being together and have so much fun. I am happy that you have had this time with all of your family together making memories. Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteFabulous pictures to remind you of great memories made this Summer. Safe travels to DD and her family. Now you can rest up a bit.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures of kids and grands. Wonderful memories for everyone.
ReplyDeleteSorry DD has to leave today but so happy she finally made it up to see you both.
Although its sad to see her go it was a great visit and she helped you out with Fred. Besides, you still have the Queen visiting. LOL
Now...its time for you to RELAX. I know all that activity wore you out.
Enjoy your day.
Glad COVID has left.
Take care.
Always wonderful to say hello, but always hard to say goodbye! Wonderful times with the family all together. Maybe they’ll all be back next summer? In the time being, you can enjoy the family that lives close by.
ReplyDeleteSo happy your daughter and granddaughter could finally visit! And everyone could spend time together! During Covid solitude, you prayed for this, so finally it happened! Thanks for all the great pictures! Take care! (Ethel Merz)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful time you had with your family. That was something that was very much needed. So, glad that you both tested negative. Safe travels for everyone back home.
ReplyDeleteLynda, I LOVE all these photos! What a beautiful family you have and they all came from you and Fred - imagine that!
ReplyDeleteWe are always sad to see our girls go, we are so close to them. But you know she'll be back. Her children sure have grown too.
Keep a cheery attitude, it's wonderful to see you feeling like that, when your family are all there.
Love and many hugs coming to you, Fred, your fur babies xoxo
So happy for you that you had such a great visit with your family. Also very glad covid is gone and you and Fred are OK.
ReplyDeleteHi Lynda…I know you are sad today because your daughter/grandkids are returning to OH. Spend your time, if you do sit down, browsing thru ALL of the wonderful photos from the past two weeks…that should make your heart sing and bring a smile to your face! What a lovely family you have! ❤️ Eissa7
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel! My son from CA and his family were here for 2 full weeks - and my other 3 kids and their families were all here with them for most of the days! We even got a family picture taken! Funny how so many things are parallel in our lives! Glad you were unscathed by Covid and that your daughter helped you so much - and that you have been losing weight throughout it all! Kudos to you. Loved the picture of your kids and grandkids!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful family you have created! I loved the photos of the children and the grandchildren! I know you will miss the ones who live so far away, I so miss my daughter's family. Her children are older and very enjoyable to be around. My other grandchildren are still young and kind of spirited. Last time Jake and Roman came to visit me (last Saturday) they got into my yarn which I keep in cubby's in my office. I think they pulled out over 200 skeins of yarn! There is still some on the floor! My daughter offered to clean it up but the yarn all has specific places to go!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful big family you have. I am so glad they were all able to get together. It looks and sounds like you had a great time. Yes it is going to be hard to say goodbye to everyone but you have some wonderful memories to help make the pain a tiny teeny bit less painful.
ReplyDeleteGlad you recovered so quickly from Covid. Now you don't have to worry about getting it since you know the shots work and now you have immunity because you had it.
Once everyone leaves take a day or two to relax. You are going to find you are really tired. It is nice to have all that company but it will be nice just being the two of you and the 3 fur babies.
It's great to see all the pics! I envy you with your big family. No one in our family had any children. I've just one cousin hanging on, and she'll be 78 next year.
ReplyDeleteSome of the family is departing, but some will still be close by. You have a great family...including Himself and your three precious furbies!
ReplyDeleteHot here. Temp said 101F when I got in my car a bit ago. {{{HUGS}}}
You got some great family pictures. Glad your daughter was there long enough to get a better idea of life there and to help you out a lot. Glad you guys are all over Covid. Now you need to relax for a few days and recover from so much company. And hope you have more pictures to show us! Stay well.
ReplyDeleteSuch happy cherished time!!! Wonderful photos! So happy for you. Glad the Covid is gone.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures Lynda...glad you got to relax a little and enjoy all the kids there together.
ReplyDeleteSuch a good time. You have so many great pictures to remember this week!
