Family Matters


We drove up to Mansfield Pennsylvania to spend a long weekend with John's older sister, her husband, their kids (my niece and nephew), and their kids. It was wonderful.

We ate lots of good food,


drank plenty of cocktails. (My SiL makes the best vodka & tonics.),


ate watermelon,


admired flowers growing in my SiL's garden,


picked blueberries at a place with far-ranging views,




built a dam,



and played in the creek.


It was a low-key weekend, but filled with fun, visiting, good talks, and the love of family. I hope your weekend was just as glorious!

    1. I was a gorgeous place with beautiful views, easy picking, and delicious blueberries! Too bad I ate the last of my blueberries on the drive home.

  10. That was a glorious weekend. Spending time with family in the out of doors is the best. And fresh blueberries might be the icing on the cake. I have picked them twice in Minnesota and they tasted so much better than those from the stores.

  11. I am glad to know that my brothers and I aren't the only one to build dams...Had a NRA hat which we changed to Natural Rock Architechture. Made our own 'jacuzzi' so we could soak after all that work. lol
