Not sure of the drama behind the grill. Wondering what the story is there. Check out the backyard though:  trees and then a big drop down through even more trees to a public park – with a bike/walking path. Little sense you're in a city. Very cool.


Hellooooo!  The holiday weekend took forever to arrive and sped by so quickly my head is spinning.  Add to that a crazy busy day today, and maybe I'll get a chance to breathe and relax sometime tonight!  Here are some photos from a weekend with family – which you know had to include a cookout, children and (illegal? fun?) fireworks after dark.   

My brother and his family (including my mom) live on an adorable little court of the most gorgeous homes imaginable where everyone knows everyone, the daily paper is passed from house to house to share, and I'm now an "approved" adult who has been seen there most weekends for the past few months, so now I (as J's Sister) have been welcomed to their little community.  If only I could afford to buy a house there as well!  But that's for another time.  Let's look at the photos, shall we?

My nephew wanted you to see his boat so he gently put it down on the deck and stepped back for the photo taking to occur.

Two cute little boys playing. (My nephew on the left and a guest on the right.  He has rock star hair.  Let's see if we can get a closer look at that hair!)

methinks his hair got wilder as the night went on (it's tame here)…. party boy.

 It was really dark..but my flash makes it look daytime.  Ah well.  Neighbors are gathering to shoot off a collection of fireworks.

…switched camera to "night portrait" mode..but the "ghost people" must have moved while the flash was going off.  oooohhhh spooky!
