Meet Me in St. Louis

Hoosier Hoops
We were finally able to get away for a week to visit our daughter's family in St. Louis. One of the highlights of our visits there always is to shoot hoops with our grandson.


His Grandpa wants him to remember that even though he was born in Missouri, he has Hoosier roots and tries to keep him supplied in the proper uniform.




Let's Score One for the HOOSIERS!




Our Blue-Eyed Girl

With her Mommy.....

...Her Grandma ...


....and Her Grandpa

She just turned seven months old and is so fun to watch.

Toes are just as good to suck on as thumbs!




It won't be long till she has that crawling thing figured out.


The Butterfly Bush

About three and one-half years ago on the day of our grandson's baptism, they planted a Butterfly Bush in their yard. While I was outside playing hoops, frisbee and hide-and-go-seek, I was also able to see some of the beautiful visitors that were attacted to that bush.

A Monarch


A Tiger Swallowtail

...and some very, busy Bees.

It was a beautiful week!
