As I  mentioned last week my daughter and her family came for a visit over the July 4th week. They’ve left and as my Mom used to say — they made us happy twice, once when they arrived and once when they left!

I love my daughter and her family, especially the grandchildren — is it okay to admit the grandchildren have an edge on their mother? I suspect I’m not alone. Anyway, they are a bundle of energy so I was worn out by the end of their visit.

During this time we tried to be safe and did mostly outdoor activities. Of course the beach was the best as far as they were concerned.

We also went on a boat tour, as we arrived at the dock we looked over the railing and what did we spy? An alligator? You can see him on the right mostly in the shade.

After shelling we went by a lighthouse on the return trip. The Captain told us a marvelous tale about the girl who haunts this historic site.

Wonderful memories were made this last week. I hope you were able to have a similar experience.
