“It’s sad to grow old, but nice to ripen.” – Brigitte Bardot
Celebrating getting older. I just noticed in the picture with Mr. D and Miss O – he has a marshmallow gun and she has a fishing pole. Had she caught a fish — I think they might have been in for a surprise!
The Halloween costume that keeps on giving.
Life goes fast – and so do children!
Pure sweetness. And the homegrown strawberries are nice too.
Sign of the week.

Beautiful family photo, Wynne. I imagine when you look at Miss O you see yourself.

What a great place for a celebration, along with some fishin’ marshmallow shootin’ and the most amazing cake ever 🙂

Isn’t that cake beautiful? I’m so glad you noticed that, Deb. I’m laughing about the “fishin’ marshmallow shootin’ ” Can you imagine a fish coming to the surface just to be beaned by a marshmallow? That would have been a great fish tale!! 🙂 Happy Saturday! ❤

Happy birthday! 😊 I love the photos and that metal slide must be a treat in summer! 😆 Wishing your beautiful family a lovely weekend, Wynne.

You’re right about the slide. It is a bit weather dependent. Pretty sluggish in high humidity and whip fast in dry conditions – makes it interesting. 🙂 Hope you all have a great weekend! 🙂
