Hopefully we'll be able to make a trip this October for our 30th anniversary. <br /><br />My daughter began her senior year and will graduate in May also. Only as you know she's married with a baby! <br /><br />Thank you for all your kind words and prayers during this difficult time. We'll miss Joy every single day, but we know we'll see her again someday.

Thank you for sharing them! I love your niece's flowers!<br />I envy the continuity of a family home. The interstate took my parents home when they were in their 60's and their parents home also. What an adjustment for them. Life was never the same. I'm glad your parents and you are getting to enjoy the home place.Terri at Finder's Keeper'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17885148229437253811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163748992686653116.post-7662191633199594492010-08-24T18:38:08.574-07:002010-08-24T18:38:08.574-07:00I loved looking at all the pictures.
