Mom's Birthday

Last week we had a 3 day celebration for mom's 92nd birthday. She was able to go back home - where she had lots of visitors and callers wishing her Happy Birthday.
Here she is doing what she loves the most....playing cards! She was able to get in several euchre games with her grandchildren.
Of all the shots we took with her great grandchildren, this is the best I ended up with... Morgan had not made it to the group and Aiden was ready to leave the group!!

Lately.....

It has been awhile since my last post...so this is what has been going on - this pic is of Bob scraping his windshield after a frost on AUG. 30th.. a frost in August...how crazy is that???? Bob is still working on the bell tower..caulking all the cracks...painting..etc. I have spent a lot of time trying to get ORGANIZED....which means filing, filing, filing....thank goodness I had some help. Missy was right there in the boxes telling me where to put things!
The other day, while having breakfast, mom said - is that a cat on the barn roof? I grabbed my camera, to get a shot of Baby..
It appears this is her new favorite pass-time. My only concern is the fact that we have a BALD EAGLE that visits every once in awhile...if he catches her up there, she won't have a chance --- be very careful Baby!!!
Now that summer is almost over my morning glories are looking pretty darn good!
And this is hubby - about 15 months ago, while watching those darn infomercials, he bought a juicer. Today, with a fridge and garden full of fruits and vegetables, he finally took it out of the box. He had carrot (from our garden) juice and made mom & me a delicious drink of fresh strawberries and peaches...mmmmmm! Here he is reading the directions AFTER making the juice and have a little problem with the tomatoes.
