Mimi Takes a Trip to Salem, WV

Dear Amber and Jesse,

Thanks for the fun and the memories, and for introducing me to "the Ladies."  The whole weekend was too fast, so I'll have to come again.  Now that I know how to gather eggs and feed them "chicken candy," I can actually be of some use!  :)  Love you!

Truly it was fun, and here is a sample:

This is Gladys Knight and the Peeps.

Just Kidding.  I think they have names, but I can't remember them. 

This one may be called "Rosie."  Or was it "Ruby"?
I never was very good with names!

Look what our brilliant granddaughter did with a few bricks...

...and these tools...

She created this beautiful fire ring!!
OK.  She might have had a little help from her daddy.

Then, Amber and Jesse shared their inaugural fire with me,
while we waited to see the Aurora Borealis...that never botheredto show itself.  Bummer.  But the fire was nice!
The S'mores were yummy!
(Joel, singing "Kum Ba Ya" was NOT required.)

"Painting" with Mimi

You've got to love left-over Easter candy :)

With all of these sleepless nights,
there MUST be another tooth in there!

"Too high, Daddy!!"
"Do it again, Daddy!!"

Daddy makes the BEST horsey.  Go Jesse!

The best thing about waking up is NOT Folgers in your cup.
It's cuddling with your daughter in a wrap big enough for two!
:)

Good-byes don't have to be ALL tears...

...there can be "good-bye smiles," too.

Thanks for reading!
