It has been so long since I last posted, that I almost forgot how to:)  So often I find myself questioning why I am continuing to blog.  My son-in-law asked me last week, " how long does the average blogger continue to blog?"  I didn't have the answer to that, but I told him I often question it all myself, but that I have made many friends and continue to learn so much from visiting blogs, that I just can't give it all up, yet.  So, for now, I am back.


This past weekend we had the privilege of spending three days with our extended family.

It is a tradition for us to head to the mountains together each June.

 

It is a big group of people that we love, and we have time to relax and be together.

Water and mountains are the perfect combination for getting away from our busy, everyday lives.

The weather was exceptional and for that we were so grateful.

 

 

Sunsets were breathtaking, especially over the lake.

 

My husband and I treasured the minutes of being together without busy schedules.

 

On Saturday, our daughter and her family joined us for the day.

We spent time with the grandchildren in the indoor and outdoor swimming pools and playgrounds.

Here they were ready to enter the lodge for dinner.

What a treat for us to get to spend time with them.

 

 

Summer arrives in three days, but according to this little one, it's already here.

Summer and watermelon are synonymous.

 

I want to thank my dear youngest sister for once again sharing her photography with me.

Thank you for coming by again after such a long break.
