Neto and Jenni's wedding

My nephew got married over the weekend. Here is a picture of Neto and his mom, dad, sister and her family, Granny (in the pink), my mom(his grandma) and his other grandma(in the blue). Granny is 98 and is just amazing.

green beans

Grandma is spending a couple of weeks with us. She brought a large bag of home-grown green beans, zucchini and squash. The kids snapped the beans today with Grandma. This was something they had never done and found it quite fascinating. I love watching the kids learn from their Grandma. She has had so many health problems here lately and I am so thankful to have her here with us.

Robbie

What a joy this young man is. The wedding ceremony(Miss Cerritelli's wedding) was a challenge due to it being outside, bugs and those darn flip-flops that I made him wear (never again)! He did however make it to the reception and what fun we did have. The food was great, especially the candy table and oh yes "cheeeeeese" (Robbie's favorite) and the dancing was so much fun. How rare it is today to have a 15 year old boy who enjoys dancing with the younger kids and even his mom. He is such a blessing to me. I love him so much and am so proud of him and who he is!

BLUEBERRY PICKING

Blueberries, oh is there anything more beautiful and wonderful to eat??!!! I love picking them and always look forward to this time of year so we can pick. We started picking blueberries when we moved here 13 years ago. We would go with my dear friend Gayle and her boys. What fun we had! I still smile thinking about Robbie then 2 or 3 looking only for the perfect blueberry and then once he found one he would yell "hey mom, I gotta good one"! I wish Gayle were here with us to pick blueberries but I guess Alaska has blueberries too!!!! Wish I could be there to pick with her. Can you tell I miss her??????????????
