What I did on my summer vacation

Dh and I drove across the country to see our children and grandson and also my Mom. It takes us two and half days to drive back. We arrive at our friends house in IN and it was raining and very humid. Normal June weather in IN. They live on a farm there and have no phone right now as this is there summer house and they are going to only be there for three weeks and then have to go back home because their dd is getting married. Their toliet was not working properly so dh help our friend get it fixed. Then we went up to see our ds and ddil and our adorable little grandson. He is getting so big and is now walking and talking constantly. At 18 months he is a real cutie and even beginning to throw a few temper tantrams. From there we went to Chicago to visit with a dear friend we had not seen in about 15 years. While up in the Windy city area I got to meet with Darby, Mindy,her dh and sister and Jan and her dh. We had a great time together and had lunch. The time went by much to quickly and we all had to leave to head our separate ways. What a great time and a wonderful bonus for the trip. We headed back to my Mom's house and it was good to see her but she is not doing as well and getting very frail. She didn't know who I was until the next morning. My dd and sil came to see us while we were visiting with Mom. Got to visit with two of my brothers and that was nice. We then went back to the farm to spend four more days with our friends and then head back west. We stopped in OK to see my cousin and her dh a nice two day break to the long trip back home. One more stop at dh brother's and then back here on Monday. All in all it was a great trip but it is always great to get back home.

Took my pictures in to be developed today so hope to share soon.

Love to all

Mary
