Where has the time gone? Two week vacation in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, Home and family visits that is where!
We had a lovely time on vacation, lots of sunny weather, we were so fortunate. We played golf, ate out a lot, did some home projects, beach walks, and lots of reading! I love to read on vacation a true sign of vacation. Discovered a new author Jojo Moyes, Me before You, what a great book and a tear jerker too. Loved her book and can't wait to read her others. Read Barefoot by Elin Hilderbrand, very good summer beach book, another new author for me Robert Galbraith, The Cuckoo's Calling, great detective mystery book. I will be reading the sequel Silkworm after my daughter is through with it!
Now I 'm reading Big Little Lies, by Liane Morianty so far really great, same author from The Husbands Secret a great read!
Well, we were so excited to have our two granddaughters and daughter here for a few days after getting home from MV. We hadn't seen them for a while so I was more then ready. Elisabeth (Lizzy) just turned 6 years old so we had a birthday party and not just any "B" party, a red, white and blue party at Lizzy's request! So I looked for all the right colors for the decorations and I think she was more then pleased. We had spaghetti and meatballs also requested and a special cake from our local bakery, Hanover's double fudge!
Dining room/party room
Special birthday cake and I hope a good wish come true!
Lots of balloons, we were afraid they would pick her UP!
We had a great hike one day, a museum day, and playground play!
Museum kite making event
Movie watching after a long day, all bathed and in PJ's
Playground fun
Hiking and fairy searching
Can anyone name this beautiful flower??
Look what's happening here................. I'm so not ready..........................bring back summer!
I love Fall weather but it just doesn't seem like we have had enough summer yet. BUT it has been a lovely summer!
Hope you are all well and enjoying some free time for hobbies, gardening, family and yarn loveliness! I have not made anything this summer which I think is a first, so the Fall will be a good time to start and get my mojo back!
Thanks for coming back and visiting me here, I'm so behind in blogs, but I will be catching up soon. Love to you all, xoRobin
Look who's back.....sheepies.......here's a sweet one

Welcome back! Such lovely pictures of your happy summer times, dear Robin! The books you read sound good, will put them on my list (have read Cuckoo's Calling already and enjoyed it). How lovely that you had the family to stay and what a lovely birthday party for Lizzy. I think the flower you asked about is a Japanese Anemone. Love the sheep picture :)
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend.

Thank you Helen for your lovely comment and flower identification!

Beautiful family memories in the making, your granddaughters are beautiful and wonderful that you could be included in the birthday celebrations.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your sweet comment. xoRobin
DeleteHi Robin! Sounds like you've have a splendiferous summer! And the party looks perfection! Lucky girls to have you as grandma. We're off to the state fair in a few minutes.. exciting! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy summer! Thanks for the book recommendations, always good to have a list of good books to read. I like fall too but I am not ready to let summer go just yet!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've been busy ,busy having a great time! Holidays,parties and grandchildren which adds up for me .... in all a great summer . I do love summer too as I get time to enjoy my family more.

Hello Robin, lovely pictures. Lovely memories in the making. The party sounds super and she looks very pleased. Love the moviewatching in pyjamas picture, lovely end to a nice day. Afraid l don't know the name of that beautiful flower, never seen anything like it. Work and schools have all started here in Norway a couple of weeks ago, and there is a bite in the air. We had an almost unbearable (for me) heatwave for weeks and then suddely autumn made it's move. Huge sudden contrast. Autumn will mean hiking, knitting and candles lit. Nice too. Pam xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely time you've had! Over here, the spring is making itself known, much to my disgust. Our winter has felt only too short.
ReplyDeleteHello dear Robin,
ReplyDeleteYou have had a lovely summer - full of all lovely things to remember in autumn and winter! I know how you feel, we have had a little autumn-ish weather here too, and I just would have loved some more summery days... And wow - Lizzy is 6 already- where does the time go???
Enjoy your beautiful days!
Yours,
Mia
Hi Robin, Sounds like the best summer---books, seaside and birthdays!! Happy Birthday(a little late) Lizzy,
ReplyDeleteHappy late August, from( Soon to be moving )Anne,

Hi Robin,
ReplyDeleteI know about trees, it changes colour too in my area, and autumn is so near.
July and august have been so busy...
And so funny time with kids.

Hi Robin! How did I miss this???? I have not been as attentive with my blog lately, and am missing all sorts of things. Glad you had a good vacation! Some good book reviews there!! Thanks. The grand girls are adorable! Happy Birthday to your sweet girl!
ReplyDeleteYou have leaves changing colors, and we have leaves falling. I am afraid I am can't wait. We have such hot summers, and I am really feeling all burnt up!!!
Have a great weekend!
