Lancer Day Hospitality

Since the SMEast parade goes in front of the church, we offer snacks, water and use of our bathrooms. 

 

Felony in Progress

By today's standards, Susan would probably have been arrested. But in 1971, not a problem to dip into the reflecting pool. You can vaguely see the Washington Monument.

 

Scavenger Hunt

Colin and friends were on a scavenger hunt at the library. They did an excellent job of working together to find the stickers.
 

Celebrating Labor Day

Showing some love for Labor Day.

 

Happy Birthday to Hayden Today!

Vala picked the candles for Hayden's cake. In addition to the number of candles, she used ones that spelled Hayden's name but the effect was lost in the conflagration.
 

20th Anniversary of Cars

In celebration of the anniversary, I took the grandkids to see "Cars" on the big screen at Extreme Screen, Union Station. Although we've watched it many times it was fun to see it this way.

Even from the front row.

 

Fall Is Coming

Despite the unbearable heat, nature has decided to go forward with fall. Nice to see, difficult to appreciate when it is 99°.
 

Take Some Flowers

Hard to read here but the sign says: Take some flowers and have a happy day." This house grows beautiful zinnias and shares them each summer.
 

Good Luck to Ray!

Mom and Dad with Hayden at Dad's retirement party. Always a favorite photo of mine. Happy birthday to Hayden on Monday.
 

What to Do When It's 100º

Get wet! Colin did mention he preferred jumping into the water but the pools are closed weekdays with all the guards in school.

 

Out of Order

This little library is out of order while it is repaired and restocked.
 

Last Blast

We were taking a photo to use next year to compare how tall they each stood in the water. Colin over estimated how far out he could stand up and still breathe. Then we adjourned to the barn for some Foosball.

 

The Change Is Starting

A glimpse of fall color displayed in this tree. Maybe it's a foreunner of a colorful fall.
 

Unseasonal, and Scary

This scary guy appeared across from Corinth Square. Seems a bit early.

 

Thank You, Dolly

Stacy stacked up all the books her kids have received through Dolly Parton's Imagination Library program. The library provided a free book once a month until age 5 to all kids who signed up. The program will live on, partly through donations like the recent $2 million donation from Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.
