Happy Birthday, America!

We were lucky enough to be able to join family at camp again this year for some fun over the 4th.  The weather was chilly in the morning and evening, but beautiful during the day - what more could you ask for???  Sun, cousins playing together. . . . 

big brothers and Papa's to row the boat and swing you, 

 great decorations . . . .





chilly water to play in and sisters who are patient enough to help you explore the water for the first time . . . .
creatures waiting to be found . . . . . 



bonfires and good food that even 102 year old grandma can enjoy, even though she can't hear much of it . . . . . . .

balloons to chase and fireworks so loud that they might blow your ears off - NOT!!!, but one can never be too careful! . . . . .

 AND another birthday!  Yup, the Mama rolled over another year and had help blowing out the candles (please be kind and not only ignore the stylin' hair on both of us, but the wrinkles and lack of make-up, too.  Please).

Really, my darlin' mother-in-love - I do NOT need that extra candle that you added to my cake!


By order of a daughter, I had to model the lovely gift of flowers from my garden.  Charmin'.  bletch!

For honest-to-goodness loveliness, Miss Polly-Mops, our grand daughter, for your viewing delight!
