leder legends

Arie and I just got back from Smithers, BC. This is where my sister Louise and her husband Mack call home and where they just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. Along with their children and grandchildren, all of the siblings and their husbands or wives and many nieces and nephews and their children were there to help celebrate. There were 67 of us in all ...quite a crowd...but we figured that there could have been 60 more. We are quite the clan. Mack's brother Harry also came to help celebrate from Hawaii. We flew to Vancouver and then drove to Smithers with Chris and John. Vancouver-Smithers is at least 13 hours by car! It's a good thing we all like to talk! The eight Grim siblings with their spouses the WHOLE gang brother Harry with Louise and Mack

Just clic on any picture for a larger view. I was going to post them larger but blogger is slow....really slow. behind the house time to cut down the hosta flowers but it's too wet today. hostas getting just too large lettuce and tomatoes along the side fence

I can't believe I have neglected to post some pictyures of the garden. It has been such a great summer this year!

Since Nathania was not at her shower here in GR , we thought she should play a game with us. Okay Nathania, tell us whose feet are whose!!

Sarah and Andrew Resseguie got engaged July 14. He surprised her while doing geo-caching. He had set up his own course and borrowed a GPS. It was fun and she was surprised. A picture of Ava (especially for you Nathania) Arie just bought a motorcycle!!! He says it was because of the high gas prices but I don't know.... We got the den/piano room painted. This is a picture of the light switch because I forgot to take a before and after picture and this was the only spot with the old VERY yellow paint. It is now a nice calm green.
