Once again am on a merry-go-round of traveling.
Heading in to the last adventure this week.
Will help a good friend celebrate her son's wedding.
Weddings are fun, but lots of work too.
I choose to focus on the fun part.
BUT....
Last night hubby and I traveled to France, via our son's
photos, seeing the colorful lush window boxes,
the Eiffel Tower in daytime, night time,
from under, on top,
up close, in the distance,
and many other detailed and ornate buildings.
While still lounging comfortably on our couch
we took a tour of Alaska,
the Cook Inlet,
and Kenai Penninsula.
My word, the colors are intense and crystal clear,
scenery such a fine example of God's majesty.
I hope to snatch a few pics of both places to share.
Yesterday I had breakfast with a good friend.
Created another crazy adventure involving a missed exit,
illegal turn around on the turnpike, and anxiousness as to the outcome of paying the fine.
Almost like Thelma and Louise!
Then hopped in the car of our gorgeous daughter,
saw the adorable blue eyed blond 2 yr old she shares
a home with.
He was wearing pj top, diaper, mischievous grin.
All topped off with a royal blue velvet wizards hat pulled down so his bright blue eyes barely peeked out. He had to show me how he puts the baby to sleep in the new stroller, covers her up, and even was meticulous to straighten out her little hat. As we hopped in our car he hopped on his smaller version and waved us off.
He was a man of few words but those eyebrows have sufficient expression to speak clearly.
Next stop was to see the traveling son and his friends.
The immensely creative 3 year old boy there was full of chatter and his own adventures.
Shortly after arriving he announced to us.
.."last night I killed a purple bear."
We asked how many legs it had, " 4, then 3."
He continued to delight me not only with adventures,
but his sweet blue-eyed face.
Not to mention the bright green rain boots worn with his safari shorts.
Naturally the boots were on the wrong feet.
He has such a love for our son, that often our son gets credited for things, even when in reality he's far far away. For example, when the green-boot-wearing wonder did a naughty thing, the response was " Naki told me to do it.!"
When it was time to leave he did not want "Naki" to go.
(fyi, that's said w/a short a sound. )
Once again we traveled by car to rendevous w/another small charmer.
He grinned shyly, then beamed at his aunt Jan as we devoured our pumpkin pancakes with his parents.
This brown-eyed wonder has a trick eyebrow.
Like his dashing uncle they can raise only one if they want.
Certainly adds expression to an already adorable face.
Even a waitress commented on my great nephews grin.
He really stole my heart when he zipped ahead of his parents and my kids, rushing forward to hold my hand as we left the eatery.
I tell ya, made me feel like a million bucks being escorted by this dashing fella.
Days like yesterday, are times to treasure and cherish.
May your week be blessed with those.
Thanks for the adventure. What a wonderful day. Treasured moments. :)
