My Beautiful Flowers

I don't do a lot of gardening.  I'm horrible about weeding.  But I've planted flowers, and every spring they come up, without my having to do much about it, and I LOVE IT.  Amongst the weeds, there are these beauties. 

 

Back Together again

These kids flew to Minneapolis all by their little lonesomes,, where I greeted them getting off the plane.  How I missed them for the two weeks they were at Grandma and Grandpa's house!!!

Feast Day Fun: Corpus Christi

A friend and I did the Corpus Christi processional this year.  The weather held, despite the dire warnings of the weather service.  It was a lovely day, and the procession was such a beautiful thing - all ages together, singing, praying, and processing through the streets of Houghton, in honor of our Lord in the Eucharist.  I felt awkward taking pictures, so didn't get that many, but you get the idea....

Delayed Anniversary Date Night

Rob and I were 2000 miles apart on our actual 21st anniversary, and then after that, we weren't allowed to be within 6 feet of each for an additional week.  FINALLY, after I was unradioactive enough to be in his presence, we decided to belatedly celebrate our anniversary, with an Italian dinner, just the two of us.  Hello, date night!  You have been missed!

 And.... to pay for dinner... we returned six months worth of cans.  The magic is still there, people.  Romance is not dead!

Time at Grandma and Grandpa's house with the Cousins

While I radiate at home, Grandma and Grandpa took on three extra kids.  WIth the addition of the Gardners to their household, the headcount in their two bedroom house was eleven.  That's... a lot of people.  Apparently several grandkids ended up in the garage.  But they had a fabulous time, and made tons of memories!

Reagan convinced her grandma to temporarily dye a slice of her hair purple, using Kool-Aid.  Luckily... it didn't work ;)
