Five generations.

Sunday evening we got together with my mother-in-law and her mother who is 93. My husband, son and his baby make five generations.

Christmas decorating

I finally decided to put up some Christmas decorations, figured I'd start outside with my feathered friends. Actually it was a stick tree that I put in the house a couple of years ago to decorate before it was time to put up the real tree. Well I drug it up out of the basement and placed it where I thought it would go and the little cat "Baby I" ( for Iris- who turned out to be a boy) started to eat the tree and choke on it so I put it out the patio door where the feeders are so the birds could rest on it while waiting for a free spot on the feeder. It isn't a real good shot but it does look quite nice if I do say so myself! And the birds liked it!

When I got up to feed the animals this morning this is how it looked, I guess a little taste of what is to come. Hope everyone is havng a wonderful weekend!!

Finally the rain has stopped....

These first photos were taken in the Spring at my parents cabin on a river.

Over the years we've had lots and lots of fires in the fireplace, and lots of hotdogs and marshmallows. Yum!

The cutest gazebo ever.

Mom and I walked her dogs in to see if the river was high with all the flooding everwhere. No fire today!

Steps are under water, and somehow......I had to walk back to the car with two wet sneakers and two wet cheeks. Butt is a little sore....

The furniture is floating, at least it can't get out and float away. Several bridges were lost and most are on watch to make sure they do not get swept away before the water goes down.

They say that snow won't come until the rivers are full......well .......I think they are FULL!

A very wet weekend!

We have had nothing but RAIN, this photo is of a path through our property, we won't be walking here anytime soon!

This photo is of the water running from a culvert also on to our land, the fluffy white in the center of the photo is water that should not be here.... looks like a lake! Looks much more impressive in real life.

Finally a little sun to get out and look around.... my bleeding heart is still blooming it is 13*C today, but we all know what is around the corner.......

Signed Sealed and Delivered

I finally finished the quilt for Landen, since he was supposed to be born yesterday by c-section, I was right on time. Anthony and Tammy brought the new bundle home from the hospital on Monday and came to Granny and Grampy's yesterday, so I had the quilt all washed up and ready. I'm not the quilter, Mom is so she had the panel and backing and quilt batting. I finished quilting it Thursday and I took it to her to bind it and when Tammy went into labor, Mom waited to sew on pink or blue.

We can not end a post with out a cute mug shot!!

The Stork flew over and......

....dropped a bouncing baby boy into my sons waiting arms!!
Please welcome Landen James Carman Rossetti. A beautiful son for Anthony and Tammy.

And Granny's pride and joy! He was born 12:23am October 29th, and weighs 7lbs 2oz. All are doing well!

Almost impossible!

My parents have 4 wonderful grandchildren! We've never thought to get together for a photo.
We decided to try it this afternoon, for a surprise Christmas gift. Weeellll......lets just say my boys are the older ones, and they sit where you put them and look when you ask....the little ones are my brothers and I've forgotten how little ones act. Well Bryan did not want his picture taken and Rachel was getting sleepy. We took about 100 pictures with 3 cameras, and not sure if we got anything that will be suitable to enlarge.

We went to our closed campground, which is across the harbor from town. These are my boys, Anthony and Ethan.

Rachel is just 2 and quite the little sweetie, she just decides to lay down in the road, Bryan is

4 1/2 and sorry to say no photo.

Happy Fall!
