Checking In

Life has been full and interesting lately, though I haven't found much in the way of 'inspirational blog topics'.  We enjoyed a family picnic on Sunday, because V&M were here for the weekend.  When they travel up from Long Island,  the rest of the family comes over for a get-together and a meal.  This was the first family meal in a long time intended to be outside (picnic) and with disposable tableware. We did manage to get most of our meal eaten before it rained and we were driven inside.  Thankfully, we have been blessed with several good rains to replenish the earth!  And shortly thereafter, the grass needed to be cut, for the first time in weeks.

I usually take pictures of the grandchildren, or of my children, or their families, or of Gerry.  This time, I was inspired to ask if I could take a picture of my sons-in-law.  It is so interesting to me how similar they are.  All of them are approximately the same height, with the same build, and the same color hair. (very similar to Gerry, actually).  When he still had his hair, it was the same color as theirs. He also is close in height and build. I wonder if there was something subconscious going on there???

Since I do not have permission to "publish" this, I won't assign names, or indicate their spouses,  but I must say I have very fine "sons".  I couldn't be more proud!
