Next time. :( Your Mom's lemon Squares look delicious. <br /><br />I loved looking at all of your photos of you and the girls and the old home. Wh owned the house becky? It was sad to see it growing old and broken. Kind of reminds me of myself. Ha-ha.....well kind of. Hang onto your wonderful todays Becky.I love reading your thoughts. <br /><br />Oha and your play list had one of my very favorite songs playing, David Gray's This Year Love. <br /><br />MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103572563333198645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3812834706420893840.post-65353189029512151042012-07-05T20:30:48.655-04:002012-07-05T20:30:48.655-04:00Your photos are gorgeous, especially that barn sho...Your photos are gorgeous, especially that barn shot. Love the barn too.<br /><br />So glad you and your chicks were able to spend this special time with your parents. Nothing like making more special family memories to cherish always and always!!! Isn't it something how places and things you remember when growing up have changed when you go back? It's so important to pass down our love for family and reuniting whenever possible, like you are doing Becky, and teaching your girls that importance too. Family grounds us!!!<br /><br />Glad you are back home!<br /><br />♥Lee AnnLeeAnn@Encouragement Is Contagioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11115472068334541489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3812834706420893840.post-52118152917971584792012-07-03T08:41:58.264-04:002012-07-03T08:41:58.264-04:00Lovely & melancholy post.

Here I am sitting on my back patio, with my Mom and an iced coffee, it's a beautiful, quiet Saturday and the sun has just come back after a rainy afternoon. <br /><br />It's days like this that I don't want to end. Let's enjoy them while they are ours to enjoy! <br /><br />Happy for you about your new hairdresser find!!! I finally gave up and have just been cutting my own hair.

It's tough to see your parents age. It's fun to see your kids age. And while those around me age, I don't feel old at all. I still feel like a school kid. But the pains in my body tell me otherwise.<br /><br />It's cool that you have a place that you can go to that is such a part of the fabric of you. We moved so much while I was growing up that I have too many memory lanes, each of which hold too few memories. Never-the-less, I drive my kids past my grandpa's house, the pink siding now painted green, every chance I get.<br /><br />Can't wait to try the recipe.Anne aka Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06613789485828889599noreply@blogger.com
