The Rest of the Visit


 The girls went shopping for wedding appropriate dresses and
the guys whipped the van into shape.
 Then girls made quilts and
The guys did some fishing,
 We even sat for a concert from the kids.
 We did s'mores one night,
 and I got some knitting done in the evening.
A new quilt from Mom is on the frame.

 One of the blessings of having my daughter here is the joy of working together-I mean, I know what it is like to have a clone because we just work so well together it is like having two of me--not just to  get the chores done but also to savor the joy of company for the rest of the day, well, it is beyond words.   Yes, the week rushed by but we cherished every minute.

  2. Oh, my. Fresh fish and a violin concert. Can it get any better?

    And I have to know -- what is that store behind you in the first picture - "Books A Million"?? Is that a really huge book store perchance?
