Getting Acquainted

Vala and I had some time to get acquainted but she went to sleep. Sweet face.

Splash Play

The kids were having a grand time with the bird bath. Adam eventually sat in it.

A World of Fun

We took Gustavo (our Argentina exchange student) to Worlds of Fun in 1986 when he returned with his wife, Graciella, to visit.

A 2020 Office

In this time of COVID-19, its important to have your hand sanitizer handy in the office.

Artist or Art Collector

I'm always intrigued by this home that has various sculptures in the yard and a row of Tiffany lamps in the window. I don't know if the homeowner is the artist or just a collector.

Tee It Up

I thought this mushroom looked like a golf ball on a tee.

Heirloom Blooms

Another reminder of my grandmother's garden. Sweet pea seems to be flourishing this year.

Experiencing Fungi

Lowell and I discovered several mushrooms on our walk. She liked to touch them and watch them jiggle.

Rustic Living

Adam decided he needed to wash his (play) dishes in the bird bath.

Staycation - '50s Style

A trip to Jefferson City in 1957. As Scott and Steve are missing I'm assuming Steve was the photographer and Scott was not yet born (or he's in the box on Mom's lap 😊).

Scott was disturbed by my reference to him and found in our home movies that he is indeed in the box, which turns out to be an infant seat. You can see from this screenshot that Steve was the photographer and Scott is visible on Mom's lap.

 

Surprise!

Each year it's a nice surprise when the lilies pop up, in this case amidst the peony bush.

Outdoor Girl

Miss Lowell loves to be outdoors.

Green Swirl

Waters along trail in Mill Creek Streamway Park were covered in algae much of the way but the ducks seemed to love it.

Happy Birthday, Stacy!

Adam was supposed to help blow out the candles but he just laughed.

Purple Morning

My morning glories have been thriving. Glowing centers offset by sprinkles of rain.
