It was late afternoon yesterday — I was mowing the lawn and Terry was blading the long lane from the house to the county road, when suddenly
Bladen came riding in on the bike!
What a huge delightful surprise. Being the wonderful grandson he is; he finished mowing my lawn for me.
Then the others showed up…Blade kindly helped Linkin along (sigh! ) Hurrying them into the house. Grandpa and I were ecstatic, to say the least.
Then their parents came over—they had all stopped at Aunt Shannon’s first.
All too soon it was time to leave–Misty wanted to buy groceries in Grand Junction, Colorado, before they headed back to Battlement Mesa, Colorado.
What a superb way to spend Labor Day. The fall sun was thick and warm…like honey all glowing with golden light.
Family and friends– the thing that makes our lives rich and full and joyful.
Love,
Linda
What fun to have unexpected company!!

It is like music! Although we need lots of sun now for at least two weeks. Fingers crossed!
