Looks like the most fantabulous day ever! Too too perfect. I love the little fella's scrunched up toes in picture 1. And rides in the mini tractor and snags on the barbie, and everyone chilling out. Life is pretty good for you, right?
ah what a joy Ruth. love it wish i was there next year perhaps it will extend to three days ??
children are having a great time terrific entertainment, plus fresh air Thanks Don Peter, Lesley bootsie Donica and Susan and others its like me being there this is the last page i close before i leave in another 5 minutes
rauf, I was wondering the same thing, maybe this will become an overnight camping fest.
I know you don't plan to leave India, so pictures will have to give you a taste of Farm Day, even though we wanted you here. I can see you riding the lawn tractor, bouncing kids on your knee, jumping in the pool, or just sitting on the floor of the atelier.
Are you pulling my leg? I'm never quite sure if our expressions are understandable in other countries? (I hope "pulling my leg" isn't another one!) You know, a punch-up? Fisticuffs!
Ruth,I can't explain it exactly,but your series of family photos,left my eyes all watery. They still are now! Well I just got a phone call.Toni is coming over with Patrick and Kaili.Going to enjoy my little family now too! Later Ruth.
Carl, I'm guessing that's because you are very sensitive to the wonders of family, the great value these people are to us. You must be having a blast with your new Patrick. I look forward to seeing photos of him on your blog, if you decide to post any.
Rachel!! I've thought about you a hundred times in the last 2 weeks, wishing you were going to be here. I hope you can come next year. As you see, it was a wonderful day, as it always is, and it will be even better if you and Swede come. Now I must see if you have a new post - I haven't checked in so long . . .
There were babies.
Big kids.
and best of all, some cuddling.
heart warming pics of a family get- together. esp.. like the one of the mother reading to the little child. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mystic Rose. My family warms my heart too, as is clear I guess. I'm glad you feel it.
ReplyDeleteThat mom, we agree in my family of four, is a supremely wonderful mom, now expecting her 4th!
No punch-ups then?

Life is pretty good for you, right?
Freefalling, what's a punch-up? Ice cream?
ReplyDeleteYes, life is very good for me. I'm happy as a clam. And why are clams so happy, I wonder?
I was sorry you couldn't make it.
ah what a joy Ruth.
ReplyDeletelove it

I hope you enjoy your time in Kerala this trip.
Thanks for sharing a beautifully succinct description of a day we didn't want to end!
ReplyDeleteAre you pulling my leg?

Fisticuffs!
Manda, we loved having you here, and it was fun having you leave last again. I hope one of these years you'll pitch a tent or two for your family.
ReplyDeleteFreefalling, hahaha, no I wasn't pulling your leg (and yes I know that one)! But now I understand, thank you.
ReplyDeleteNo, no punch-ups, fisticuffs or brawls. We moved past that in the '70s, hehe.
Absolutely priceless, Ruth, how you tied this altogether in one post. As you noticed, I wasn't even about to pull that off!
ReplyDeleteYes, and I'm waiting for more from you of the day, my dear. :)
ReplyDeleteRuth,I can't explain it exactly,but your series of family photos,left my eyes all watery.

ReplyDeletei can't stop looking at these photos. your awesome collection, aunt bootsie's, paul's. keep reliving that weekend.
ReplyDeletei need to update my blog! :)
Lesley, digital pics, what did we do before??
ReplyDeleteYes, you do! :D
Perfect happiness.
ReplyDeleteBritt-Arnhild, it is a pleasure to have you visit. I wish you happiness too.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a perfect day :o)
ReplyDeleteThanks, RUTH, for me it was. I can't think of anything to improve it.
ReplyDeleteWhich blog of yours do you recommend I visit first?
Thanks for taking up the torch of providing a beautiful place for family to reunite! The pictures are beautiful!
