Tuesday morning, post holiday. My sister and her husband should be home, touching their favorite things in their own home again. My niece is now a high school graduate. Nancy’s mother has a new chair to replace the one that decided to retire over the weekend. I have touched noses with all of my siblings all at the same time, mourned the loss of a dog (not mine,) and here we are.
This is a slightly different pose from the one posted on facebook. I have trained my stand-in photographers to acknowledge that this is digital, not film–if you’re not sure of the picture you’ve taken, take another one. And another one. I can always erase the mistakes, I can’t make up the misses.
I always look forward to the Memorial Celebration on Golden Lake. Good food, family and friends, good stories and I always manage to get some really good photographs of the people I care about. This is siblings and spice. From left to right: Dan and Felicia (in front of him,) Lynn and Steve (in front of her,) Lee and Janean, Scott behind us, and me. Nancy was unable to attend because her mother’s lift chair broke and she needed to find a replacement and because her mother has mobility issues that we did not feel we could cope with at the cottage.
This is my favorite photograph of the day. This is my second-cousin (I think.) She is my cousin’s daughter. My cousin is all about being a momma and all about being with her baby, which is a wonderful thing and I’m happy for her. I just love this expression. No. This is not working for me.
The dogs and Nancy are about ready to go to work.
I need to pay a bill, fill the water bottles and pick up my scripts.
And another week begins.
