Summer is almost over!

Hello my Dear Friends ;0)

Yes, Summer is almost over!
And, ya know....
I can't complain because all in all I have had a busy
and totally wonderful -June, July & August!

Lots of visits with my loving family....
All of whom live between 6 to 18 hours away (driving time)

Both my Mom and Dad had monumental birthdays this summer...
Imagine...90 years old!!!!
I thank God EVERYDAY that I am so very blessed to have them!

There were 3 long visits with Cookie and her precious family!
 We sure had One VERY memorable week in June when we packed up (yes all 6 of us)
And made the trek down to visit my family in Kentucky...
Then off to see my youngest daughter, "Candybar" and her hubby " Dr. C"
 at their home in Indiana.
Just before heading back to the good ol northeast... We made it up to
Northern Indiana for a wonderful baby shower for "candybar" given by "Dr.C" s
Lovely, lovely family.

Later in June I flew back to visit my family in Kentucky before driving
To "Candybar"s for the birth of their first child!!!
Yes... How lucky are we to now have three beautiful grandchildren!

All too soon that visit had to end. Lucky for me I still had one last event on
Our summer calendar. Our annual vacation to the Finger Lakes!
We have been fortunate to be able to go with  "Cookie"s & Eugenes family for
Vacations the past 5 years!  Not only is it restful, beautiful wine country
But .....to be able to sit on a deck with my loved ones and look out on the water and hear the sweet giggles from the children is priceless!

So yes....the summer is almost over and Autumn will soon be here
But, I am counting my blessings....and am so grateful for all that I hold dear!

Hugs,
