Family Friday


~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Joe's mum and step-father came to visit.



They were here for Joe's birthday on Sunday

and they left on Tuesday afternoon after I went to work.

It was wonderful to visit with them!

We don't get to see them very often as they live in Florida 

and we are up here in Massachusetts.

I made strawberry shortcake from scratch for Joe's birthday.

I made the biscuits and I even whipped the cream!

Joey had never had it before....he liked it!

It's not very often that Joe and I get a picture of us together.

Joey took this one while we were walking the beach.

I got a new haircut and a color on Saturday.

I hadn't had it done in quite some time.

A few weeks ago I picked up a braided rug at Target.

It fits perfectly under my new kitchen table.

Verne loves playing on it.

The wild beach roses are in riotous bloom.

The whole island smells like roses and the salty Atlantic.

So wonderful!

  4. Lovely picture of you and Joe. Looks like you had a good time celebrating Joel's birthday and then visitors to entertain too. I expect the week flew by. Enjoy the weekend.

  5. Such a nice picture of you and Joe. I didn't realize that you have a Joey, too. My oldest is Joe (but I still call him Joey:)

    I love the colors in the rug. And that last photo is beautiful. I can feel the ocean breeze:)

    Enjoy your weekend.

  8. Great picture of you and Joe! Such a gorgeous area you live in. Haven't had strawberry shortcake in years. My mom always made it for my sis's birthday at her request though she didn't make a biscuit she made a sponge type of cake. How nice to have a visit from Joe's parents for his birthday. Little Verne sure looks grown up in that picture.
