HERITAGE DAYS 2013


I have been far removed from my upstairs office these past weeks
enjoying(finally) warmer weather...
we went from 28-99 in two days
a very strange spring so far and what my sister M refers to as the
blow torch
we will have to hurry and use this mint in our mojitos before it burns up!  
Have you ever smelled burning spearmint? 
 It is very fragrant, we used to have a  mint farm outside of town

Nothing and I mean nothing better than a small town parade
where we don't shy away from God and country

Sibling Day 2013 just happened to fall on Heritage Days
which was great as it gave us all fun activities to do
"the sisters"

"the brothers"

"the children"
waiting on the parade


boy scout hamburgers on the courthouse lawn

a perfect day that just sort of lends itself to 
relaxing against a big old oak tree
waiting for the dance on the old brick streets of main street
after the sun goes down

Seriously…I wish I lived in your town! This is amazing! It reminds me of Doc Hollywood with Michael J. Fox! Best movie ever!

Looks like a perfect weekend, my friend. Our weekend has been busy too with family here on Sunday, gardening yesterday in the blistering heat (what's up with that? We had snow last weekend!).

Looks like a wonderful time - would love to hear more about "sibling day".

Looks perfect. Love small towns. I do have to say, the "blow torch" description of our weather is perfect.

I love small town living- what a fun day! Dancing on old brick streets sounds like a perfect way to end a day like that. Hope you are safe up there in all that weather.

Que belo encontro familiar. Isso é o melhor da vida estarmos com nosso parentes. Linda sua família.
Tenho visto tantos furacões em seu estado. Fiquei preocupada, espero que todos estejam bem.
Bjos e tenha uma ótima semana.
