Family Pictures

When we arrived in Washington, they were busy harvesting raspberries.  We were even fortunate enough one day to be able to go out to the fields to watch Holly drive the picker.  The blueberries came into season while we were there - when you drive down the roads, the berries hang in clumps on the branches and almost look like grapes.

 I LOVE to take pictures of Mt. Baker and here's another scene.  No cows this time, just an alfalfa field.

 DeAnn decided one Sunday that we had to have some grampa and gramma pictures with the kids, soooooo................

deciding where to take them

 My "girl" and I with Sam thrown in

 The grandkids

 If you look, there's a sweet little lady in the woods.

See the big wood pile in the background - well that's the one we didn't get burned before the "burn ban" was put on.  We did get another pile that was to the left burned one day and had started on this one.   Fire is something that we are good at!!!

DeAnn and John with her wood carving - it's quite impressive.  Water proofing the carving was the one thing on the list that did get finished but we didn't do it - John did.  This is the first time that EVERYTHING plus a few additional chores John added were all completed plus we had several "no work" days thrown in and usually a nap about 3:00 each afternoon.

That's it for now - not sure what the next blog will entail - still some pictures left in my file from Washington.  Have a good weekend ahead - I'm going to love it because it's supposed to be in the low 70's which is absolutely perfect weather.

Love to all,
Gramma and MOM
