July Moments.......

Melinda spent four days with us this past week and Erica was here a couple of those days, they don't see much of each other anymore. They had a great time.  Coffee Latte........they discovered Papa's whipping cream........

One day they made two of Great Grandma Sower's famous homemade chocolate pound cakes to share with neighbors. It's such a very stiff batter that it's almost impossible for Nanny to mix it anymore.  They wrapped the four sections in tin foil, added cards, tucked them into a pretty decorative tote and headed down the street to deliver them, while Nanny sat under the tree and kept a close eye on them. They enjoyed that...

Still on day four, Nanny hadn't been anywhere or done anything special with them.  They chose the Antique Emporium.  We coaxed Papa into going with us and taking Little Buddy, who had never been. There are so many "guy" things there and the fellows had a wonderful time.

Lyndy Lou loved all the old telephones!

Nanny enjoyed telling Erica about the old kitchen cabinet with the built in flour bin and sifter just like the one that was so much a part of her  childhood!

Cameron was fascinated with the bicycle built for two!

Lyndy Lou went home Wednesday afternoon and Cameron spent the night with Nanny and Papa, for the first time in almost two months.  He also discovered Papa's whipping cream, loaded his chocolate milk with it.........wiping it all out!

The next day he managed to start a fire with a magnifying glass...

Happy days......
