The heat is on.   And so is the game. 

Temps rose to 94 today.  A little warm for my comfort.  We went to watch our grandson Jake play ball.  Is he cute or what?!?

Perfect!

What an awesome weekend we had!

Our town's Heritage Day's,  falls on the second weekend in June each year.  

Usually it is unbearably hot...

But this year,  

Perfect!!!

Five years ago we took Rissi to Heritage Day's and she enjoyed an ice cream.

This year we took her with us again.  And she enjoyed an ice cream.

Where have the years gone?

Rissi and Gary at Heritage Days 5 years ago

Five years later

  Gary and I were taking pictures, and suddenly Rissi says "here, give me the camera and let me take a picture of you guys..."

And that's when I realized just how grown up my little baby granddaughter has become.

It makes me sad to know this.  Years pass by way too quickly.

 It was a beautiful weekend.  A perfect weekend.
