Dreamin'.........

Once a month the local antique car club displays their cars at the square in town.  It's called Crusin On The Square.  Greg loves looking at the old cars.  He really knows his cars, engine types etc...stuff that only a guy would know.
man I wish I had one of these...

...I would be so cool!

Weekend Glimpses!!

Bright and early Sunday morning while the dew was still on the ground I set out with Goldie & Maggie to collect some wildflowers from along side the road.  To some people these are weeds, but to me they are wildflowers.  As they say...beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  With a bouquet in hand we started for home.  I added a few flowers from the yard to add to the arrangement.  This was a beautiful start to a beautiful day.

Picking blueberries was another highlight to the day.  It takes
a lot of little blueberries to fill the basket up.  The sun was warm
on our face, but the breeze helped to keep the temperature
down.  Blueberry fritters topped the afternoon off!

The rest of the weekend was spent decorating for the
4th of July holiday.
 Bow tie American flag quilt that I made several
years ago hangs from the mantel.
***looking forward to another fun filled week***

Granddad's Visit

Gail and Kitty visited for a few days.  We enjoyed spending
time with them talking about old times...remembering when. 
Listening to old stories from our parents is so interesting. 
There is a wealth of information to be gained from our elders.
Sitting on the deck watching the moon dance with the clouds
was a favorite evening pass time.  It doesn't take much to
entertain seniors!

Scottish Festival And Highland Games

The Scottish Festival and Highland Games were in town this past weekend.  Having never been to anything like this before we thought we'd check it out and see what it was all about.  It was a warm sunny day...a little hot for being outside from 11:00 am until 5:00 pm.  We took respite in the shade by the creek to cool off, but relief didn't last too long once we were back out in the sun.
The Caekic word clan means family or tribe.  Each clan has its own tartan which is worn in a kilt or scarf.   We looked and looked, but Lane was not found as a member of a clan.  So evidently Lane is not from Scottish decent.
We enjoyed the athletic games, ceremonies, parade of bagpipes and drums, Scottish dancing...(I even participated in Scottish dancing!), live music and of course the food.
A great day of fun!
