The Girls Bonding over Bello after School

Watching interactions like this make me a happy Mamma.

Umi with My Daughters

Their favorite restaurant. ... My favorite people!

A Day with My Girls

Today we had a fun girl's day where we went thrifting at goodwill ...
... then to Church (and I can't remember the reason) ...
... and finally to Umi for dinner! This is a happy Mamma with happy daughters!
And although this is a beautiful picture of Leia crocheting by the Virgin Mary, it is a sad picture for me, as Leia chose to wait for us outside instead of participating within. I hope and pray that, someday, she returns to the Catholic faith.

Leia's Christmas in Oregon 2020

Looks like Leia really liked her Christmas gift! Got the picture from Shana (I think). Still don't hear much from her. Very hard for me.
I may not have heard from Leia this Christmas, but she DID send Daddy a traditional picture of Christmas "Carnage" in Oregon!

White Christmas Morning 2020

As always, in honor of Karin who always made the picture at the top of the stairs in pajamas a Christmas morning tradition, here is Annie sitting with her Kitty, Miku. The only sad thing is that Leia is not here this year (she is in Oregon) and we don't hear from her much. BUT it is a PERFECT White Christmas, and by that, I mean a dusting. It was a nice morning of just the three of us full of Annie's spectacular Christmas Crafts for me! I said I wanted her to incorporate Marlene's Amish rug (which had gotten a bit to worn to use outright) into the crafts, and she did not disappoint! An finally, my beautiful ornament Shana made for me from the quartz crystals she found at the Diamond Hill Mine!

Christmas Dinner with Oma & Papa 2020

Harvest Films the Yoga Studio

When the owner of Butterfly Wellness in Pickens wanted a promotional video, Harvest put his filmmaking skulls to work!

Early Spring on Lake Murray : Fishing

Look at the size of the catfish Leia and Harvest caught! They were out there every morning. And their fish were delicious!

Early Spring on Lake Murray : Boating

But the next day it wasn't quite as warm.
We checked out a few of our current haunts, like Buffalo Creek Grill ....
... and a few old haunts (now closed) like Spinners .
Just because it's March doesn't mean you can't get sunburned.
