Fabulous arrival

Our precious little grandbaby arrived August 15th at 10 in the evening. She weighed in at 7 lbs and 8 0z, and 20 inches long. I don't know how to express my feelings of how blessed we are to have this beautiful little grand daughter. God is soooo good! Mom and Dad are adjusting to the demands of a new life. Grandpa is so proud. Grandma is beyond hope with love and adoration!

floral photos

Here are a couple of photos of some plant life around here. I love the photo of the raindrop in delicate leaves. Eyesight is such a blessing. I'm not sure of what kind of berries these are.

Homer Spit

Here is a photo of the Homer Spit: http://www.etravelphotos.com/alaska/2002na-031-06s.html

Boardwalk Fish and Chips

This is a restaurant in Homer, AK. It is located on the spit. We visited on July 28th and the weather was perfect for walking the spit. OOOPS, I didn't realize the photo would pop up 3 times. :)

Kenai River Seafoods

This is a photo of my son and his wife taken during the evening about 9pm at the Kenai River Seafoods dock. This dock is the home of a resturant and gift shops, it is a fun place to visit.

Little Susitna River

My oldest son, James and his lovely wife, Cynthia came to visit us in July 22nd to August 1st from Florida. We did a LOT of sight seeing with them and had a blast. Our Son, Jordan, who is in college is home for the summer so he enjoyed having his oldest brother at home and hanging out with him. He is an adventurer and loves the outdoors. These photos were taken at the Little Susitna River. It is a spectactular sight.

funky quilt

Just wanted to share a photo of the funky quilt I made for my son and his wife. (I made it in June) It was a blast to make and I did some fun quilting on it. They were here for about 10 days and I surprised them with the quilt. They also took the valances. I found the poster bed at a 2nd hand store and refinished it with white paint. It was a fun project.

OOOOPS!

OOOOOOPS! I forgot that I was going to post photos of the ferns. It is raining today so I can't go out and get all the ferns out front of the house. I know that it has been the cooler days and rainy days that have helped make my ferns look so healthy this summer. I will have to post my sunflowers after I get a photo of them. They will make you laugh!! I grow them in the same spot every year and this year I got the shorter "brand". (and boy are they short) They are just about ready to bloom though. Actually, you can see where they are in the photo with the ferns you can see the fake tulips----(sh sh sh don't tell anyone :) ) Those are the sunflowers and kale!
