days of old...and new

the warm air, but cool breeze....family gathered around on the deck. it reminded me of a time long ago...well, it seems long ago. never before has it felt weird walking in my grandparents backyard. maybe weird isn't the right word, but today it was so different. walking up the big hill with my cousin...and our kids. so many memories together in that backyard. but today we were able to watch our own kids run around, making memories of their own. it felt so good being together with everyone (almost everyone.) it doesn't happen very often, but when it does it is great. life changes and we all go with it, but coming back to where you came from always makes me feel so good. it is refreshing! so brit, thanks for graduating high school today. we're all proud of you and so thankful to have a reason to get together.


just sittin', rockin'

That sure was fun for GGpa and me to watch you cousins playing with your kids in the back yard like we used to watch all of you running up and down that hill. Little harder now, isn't it?
Love you all,
GG
