Volleyball is one of my favorite sports and I'm so glad that some of my grandkids are learning how to play.

As our grandsons' football seasons have almost come to an end (as of this moment, Abram's 4th-grade football team is still in the playoffs)...

"The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace."

Numbers 6: 24-26

Last week we celebrated the 11th birthday of our beautiful twin granddaughters, Kelsey and Kassie.

Last weekend, all of our bunch (plus a few extras!) came to the cabin for our annual fall pumpkin pickin'.

Seventeen high school football seasons have come and gone since we spent our Friday nights under the lights.

Our beautiful, sweet granddaughter Juni celebrated her 8th birthday a couple of weeks ago.

Meet my baseball-star-nephew Wyatt.

These three budding beauties are my granddaughters...Lucy (7 years old), Juni (8), and Ellie (8 1/2).

In all of my 66 years of going to Emerald Isle nearly every summer, this year was my first to spend the 4th of July seaside.
