Visitors and a birthday

 Far Guy was quite ill most of the day on Thursday.  Jen took him to his Infusion and picked up the Walmart order and a few other things for us.  I stayed home with Sadie...she slept all the while they were gone.  Late in the afternoon I went to town for an oil change appointment.  Jen and Sadie returned to their home Up North.

My baby brother and his bride brought us some garden produce; green beans, carrots and new potatoes.

Visitors in the evening were four of my baby brother's Grands. Ten of his twelve Grands are here on vacation this week.


Otto, Xavier, Maz and LuLu

On Saturday my baby brother and his bride will host a picnic at their home.  I cooked the eggs on Thursday and will cook the potatoes on Friday for potato salad. 

Happy 59th Birthday to my sister Julie! I found this photo on our Mother's flash drive.

  3. Oh how fun for your baby brother, having 10 grandchildren over to visit. And the picnic sounds wonderful. Poor FG...he's on my mind so much (you both are!) & I'm still praying, Connie. This too shall pass but I know it doesn't feel like it now. God bless you both. Love, Andrea xoxo

  15. Sorry FarGuy is not feeling well and prayers that he'll feel better soon. The photo of your "grands" is great. They are adorable and I bet you're glad to have them around even if just for a little while. My daughter just had her 5th baby two days ago. We both hope she's done. Linda intheimage.blogspot.com
