The last of our family flew out today. All together, they were here a total of one month. We are ALL exhausted but had a ball. These few pictures were on my camera but I have a stack from everyone else. A fun month of great memories for all of us. I was sad to see them go but I guess it's time for all of us to get back to our routines. We will miss them and hope we get to visit again before next summer. Well ... back to work!!!

As many of you know, my two sister in laws and their families come to visit every summer for a month or so. My two boys can't wait every year for their six cousins to come. The first family arrived in late June. The weather was still not so great but our first stop was at the beach to get an ice cream from our local ice cream man, Papa Joe.
Once the weather got better, we were able to do a little boating and kayaking. Above are my two boys and their cousins.

This is my husband and my neice out for a ride.

The Fourth of July is a huge day in our town. This is part of our huge crew of friends and family watching the parade.

Both of my boys and my husband rode their bikes to the parade from our house, a good 10 miles plus. Needless to say, my younger son was a little hot and tired.

Fourth of July spirit!!!

Thanks for visiting ....

"SUMMER PORCH AND GARDEN"

There's nothing more inviting than a summer porch and garden. It can be a source of shade when the temperature gets too warm, a place of shelter during a gentle summer rain, or just a place to sit with someone special on a lazy summer day.
No matter what your summer days hold, a porch and garden can provide the ideal setting for friends, family and even a private retreat. Won't you join me for a cup of tea as we help you design your summer porch and garden.

Beautiful new items added each Friday for our special events!
