More from September

Lots of hours and days spent trying to fix Ryan's garage door.

I made shrimp and grits while Darryl was away.

Turtle in our pool.  Much better than the dead mole.

Our first meal (pizza) under the new gazebo on the new table set.

Nasty wormy thing with eggs on my tomato plant.

The outdoor room is finally finished.  Thanks to all the kids helping!

Ryan's deck came out nice with the new stain!

hello in there!

End of summer get-togethers

We were finally able to have a little celebration for Kyle's birthday.  We didn't have it sooner because Hilary had some serious medical issues.  She's doing better now.

The whole clan.

Kyle's picture came out way better than the one I took.

Old folks enjoying the oasis.

The very next day, some of Darryl's relatives came over.  There were 2 others who joined us later (Donnie and Sharon), but I forgot to take a picture.  Oh well.  We had a lovely day eating and hanging in and around the pool.
