party

The 3 grandkids love to have a party in the camper van-this camper is just their size and they always want to visit the camper.

first fish

Jeff's first fish caught off the pier.  Grant loves to watch and catch water bugs.

Jeff

Our oldest son Jeff and grandson Grant are visiting us now-they are really enjoying this little piece of heaven.  

sand heaven

We have the best next door neighbors-they have a sand pile and let the kids play in it and make a mess...the grandkids are loving it.

grandma and grandpa-

Here Grant and Maria-our grandkids-are on the nature trail pretending to be grandma and grandpa.  They found "canes" in the woods

2 Wishes


Our grandson Grant is here from Indy and said he had 2 things at the top of his list:  a campfire and going for a boat ride.  Both have been accomplished and he is a happy camper!

Nature trail

This is a picture of grandkids Grant and Maria going over the bridge of the nature trail near our house.  They LOVE walking the trail to the lake.

Quilting group

I have joined a quilting group in Stevens Point and this is a picture of our wonderful teacher, Margaret.  She has made me feel so welcome and so have all the other ladies.  I am currently working on a strip quilt made of scraps all cut already by Marvelous Margaret!

grandson Ben's 3rd birthday



Ben was 3 on Friday.  He had a spiderman themed party, but also got batman jammies.  We celebrated with food, cake, ice cream and a trip to the park which all 3 grankids love.

garden update


The garden is in full swing and I am harvesting spinach, lettuce, radish, onion and asparagus.  We have azaleas in full bloom and they are gorgeous

Trip up north



My brother Dave, his wife Barb, Ed and I drove up to northern WI to visit my mom who will be 92 soon and my sister, Jeanne. We had a great visit.  I asked Barb who is an excellent crocheter to help me make a Spiderman aphgan but she took over the task since I had only 2 days to get r done for a grandson's birthday.  It turned out pretty nice!

Another big catch

My brother was visiting this week and landed a 4 lb catfish.  He was pretty excited.
