Cat's Cradle

Last Saturday I got to have Kyle and Dakota overnight. Dakota has discovered Cat's Cradle and he was teaching Kyle how to do it. They both spent hours with two pieces of yarn. Who says kids need video games?

Visit with Mom

Last Saturday I got to spend the day with my mother we visited for most of the morning and did some mending on a crocheted bedspread that I had bought at a garage sale for $10.00. I have seen these in antique stores for $75 to $100 dollars. We got it mended and it is now on my bed.

Dakota and the climbling wall

Dakota and I recently spent several hours at the Middlebury Summer Festival. He got to climb on the rock wall that they had there several times. He made it up all but the most difficult side, I don't think he was tall enough to reach some of the handholds.

60th Anniversary Party

Sunday my sister and I had an Open House for our parents 60th Wedding Anniversary at my home. They were surprised by a visit from my mothers niece from southern Indiana and from a cousin and her husband from north of Grand Rapids. We also hosted one of my fathers old co-workers from Bendix and Magnavox and other cousins, another niece and two friends of my sisters and mine from high school that spent lots of time at our house growing up.

2009 Little League

Noah and Dakota both were in Little League again this summer. Noah played for FOP and Dakota is on a Concord team. Noah played outfield and the pitching position which in machine pitch, just means he has to get the ball back to his coach. Dakota got to pay shortstop, catcher and pitch some games this summer.

Spring at Little Brown Cottage

Now that spring has FINALLY arrived, my garden is looking wonderful. Still having trouble keeping up with the weeds, but oh well, that is part of gardening. Enjoy the beautiful pictures.
