Family

Don't you just love my coffee cup?? It is absolutely gorgeous! When Betty (from Australia) came to visit, she brought Tom and I these cups. At first, I was going to put them up on a kitchen shelf, then I thought we should really enjoy them, which we are doing! And the wonderful thing I like is each time I take a sip of coffee from my cup, I think of our friend Betty!! 

  

Today, we had a family gathering. These folks are Tom's second cousins.Two of the girls are from out of town and come back to visit their brothers and sisters a couple times a year. We all met at a Perkin's Restaurant for coffee, pie and conversation !!  I got the banana cream and Tom got the lemon meringue! Yumm they were delicious!!

 

It was a nice day and we were happy to have shared it with family.

 

How was your day? Good we hope, Rusty seemed better this morning but is having a little harder time tonight. He has arthritis in his hip and is on medication for that. I will call the vet in the morning and see what they say.

 

Good night....... 

Red Letter Day

Today our friend Betty, from Australia came to visit! We follow each others blog! Oh my goodness, it was just like seeing an old friend after not seeing them for a long time. But, with us, it was the first time we've met in person. Isn't this a small world? (Probably not for the one who had to sit on an airplane for hours on end! LOL)

This photo includes her traveling friend Barbara.

Here we all are, Betty's other friends Rob and Lyn, Rob was the driver. He is able to drive the American way. (I didn't realize that Australians have their steering wheel on the right side, where ours are on the left!) So, to me he has to be very talented to be able to achieve this feat!

 

What lovely people they all are. It was so much fun, we learnt so much about them and their lives. I just can't say enough about this amazing day we had. I thank God for bringing Betty into our life.

 

What kind of day did you have??

 

Pretty Little Swallows

Last week when we went to the doctors,I was about to sit down and as I looked out the window I saw all these cute little birds (swallows I think) sitting on a rock together. I remember earlier this year they were making a nest in the alcove about the offices.

And they had a brood of babies. Aren't they pretty?

 

Especially compared to the birds at our house, our little sparrows.

 

I spotted this bunny the other day not far from those pretty flowers and butterfly I posted about yesterday!!

 

Whoo-Hoo, I heard from Betty, my friend from Australia. She isn't far away and will come visit next week. This is so exciting! Have you met in person, anyone you have met on the internet? Or maybe a pen pal? (If you follow Susan Branch, you know that she has met several different times, her pen pal from England!) 

 

Hope you're in for a fun and/or relaxing weekend! Our weather today was terrible HOT, we had a Heat Index of 104. It was also very humid! This will last for the next week or more...smile..
