Monday musings

 

The geranium is finally blooming again!


My youngest granddaughter standing in the middle here!



Yes, the Powell OH gals won state championship again for Lacrosse! I'm guessing Kate is on far right on second row. She's now a high school graduate. She'll be going to OSU in the fall.

Kate is 3rd from left end.

I'm so proud of my three sons,  who are now men who've achieved so much, shown such sweet love to their spouses and my grandchildren, and are the gentle-men that I would most hope them to be.

My two oldest sons were on top of this pyramid. The two women are Carolyn, my ex's sister, then Sally, wife of my ex's brother Rick.  Men on the bottom are Norm (Carolyn's husband) then my ex (Doug with beard and sunglasses) and then his brother (Rick).

I just saw this for the first time, which Doug had included in his ancestry book about his family. Right after the divorce, he had lots of outings with the boys with his family visiting...he would have them with him every other weekend, and we'd trade off the holidays. But after I moved away, he would have the boys for some entire vacations. It wasn't ideal.

Detail of glaze...a kind of greenish brown.

  2. I remember doing a pyramid like that in gym class. Then we all had to straighten, let go and collapse. It didn’t hurt back then. Imagine now.

    1. I was fortunately a lighter person, so got to figure out how to climb on my friends to get to the top. Poor wrists of those guys on the bottom!

  4. I always wonder about the people at the bottom of the pyramid. Yes, I have a son I'm so proud of.

    1. Indeed, they do have the short lived strain on their standing parts, I'm thinking wrists mainly! I love having 3 sons...now more than ever.

  5. Lovely geraniums. They do seem to need a break from blooming sometimes (at least mine on my balcony do, too)

    1. I didn't know that was normal. In the past they just kept on putting out more blooms. Another plant.

  6. I used to be on top of the pyramid in gym class. Nowadays I'd probably be a sturdy bottom rower!
    Love the vase, and the family photos.

  7. That's what we did with our kids after the bitter divorce: alternate weekends, but I had two kids and my ex had one.
    Aren't grandies grand?!
