Happy Birthday Weekend

I had a great birthday weekend, turning 52 on Sunday! Mom and Fred came over after church and had lunch with us. The girls brought lunch, along with a cookie cake (my fav). Fred made homemade ice crea--yummmmm! Mom reframed a picture she had given me several years ago which was one of her first ones to paint and is still my favorite. I loved ALL the gifts from my family with the best one being the day with them!

Enjoying the hydrangeas.

It's been fun watching these small plants grow and put on such pretty blooms this year. I grew to love this plant watching Fred's many hydrangeas bloom each year.

Mom and Fred Arriving For A Swim

Fred and Virgie came for their first swim, and I think they both enjoyed the pool. Fred designated every Wednesday this summer to be their "vacation" day at the Fraim pool!
