A Day on the Other Side of Town!

Today I went over to the other side of town to visit with Grandma and Grandpa on the day after their 50th anniversary! Whoo! This post is going to be very picture heavy... And I don't know how to put the pictures on here so that you can click to enlarge them. If you end up wanting any of the pictures you'll have to let me know, so that I can send you the original file in it's unedited LARGE size. :-)


Ahem... Here we go...

On my way over to Grandma and Grandpa's house I decided that I would take a picture of Dad and Cheri's old house. I told Dad before that I would take a picture and send it to him because the house looks so different now, but I kept forgetting my camera. Whoops! Well, I remembered it today... Sooooooo, here is the house now...

Doesn't it look boring? The flowers in front of the porch are all gone. It just looks plain. Too sterile. Blah.

After taking this picture, I decided that I would make a little detour to a little lake... (and when I parked my car, the radio started playing You Can Call Me Al... Ha!)

Now, I don't know if everyone is aware of the story of Lake Como... If you aren't then you should probably ask my dad to tell you the story... Because, quite frankly, I just don't tell it as good as he does. But I will provide pictures to supplement the story that I think he now has the obligation to tell to the blogging world! :-D

There he is in all of his guardian glory...

I decided to sneak up on him from the side--you know, while his attention was elsewhere.
Just wanted him to see that I am NOT afraid of him! That's right.
And we are now best friends. I'll probably visit him every week...
While I was walking around the lake I saw this tree limb, and I had to take a picture of it. Dad, doesn't it look kinda like the kissing tree only on land? Neat! Oh! While I was taking in the pretty little grassy areas and such I realized that there are probably some caches in that area... I tried to find one with my naked eye, but it didn't work very well. I'm going to have to look that up for next time!



And now onto Grandma and Grandpa!



In this picture it looks like Grandma is admiring the little wheelbarrow serving dish and Grandpa is surprised. In reality, they both seemed to really like it. :-)

After a recent conversation that Grandma had with my dad it became obvious that Grandma NEEDS to grow herself some tomatoes... Well, Dad... Here. This is the area that I think would be the best place for Grandma to put a pot and whatever else she needs to grow her very own tomatoes. What do you think? I am certain though that the tomatoes should not be planted next to this little guy and his friend, the cactus...

Do you agree?

And now, I give you pictures of the couple who were at the 50 year and 1 day mark (and counting) of their marriage when I visited them! Enjoy!

(The card Grandma is holding says the number 50 on it as "proof"that it is true!)

Love, Nina

P.S. Ummmm Dad? It's your turn to post. And I do believe the people want to hear the story of the Lake Como Lions... :-D
