BUSY Weekend...

This weekend I watched 'The Boys' while Mark
and Andrea went 4-wheelin'. This picture of Ben
wasn't taken this weekend...but it appears
that he's asking Grandma...
"You have that camera out AGAIN???"

Nathan was a GOOD boy for MeMa while staying at our house over night. Here Nathan fell asleep and took a nap in the living room....
The Happy TRAVELERS tell of their adventures during the Rumble on the Ridge weekend. Sounds like they had a good time...

Illinois Visit...August 2006

Mom and I visisted 'Blackhawk' at Lowden Park
over the weekend. While we were there - a
lady had some visitors in the park from
Chicago who had never seen the statue before.
In our family the statue is part of our heritage
as we had many reunions there with all the
'cousins' and we haunted the hiking trails
below the statue. It was always fun to run
down the trails all the way to Rock River.

Mom and I enjoyed this day together... A little work and a little play is good for the soul.
I spotted this hollow tree as we exited the park and had to take advantage of this photo opportunity. I was going to have Mom stand inside...but there were green spiders in there.... UGH.... I think Mom probably thought I was 'crazy' to ask her to stand in the tree... (Hey - I heard you say that - now be nice!!)

The Satterfield Family - At Home in Tennessee

Grandma and Grandpa Satterfield at home in Oak Grove, TN.
The Satterfield sisters: Bertha, Ina and Doris.
Stephanie received these pictures from our
cousin, Carline when Steph and Mom traveled
to Tennessee in July of this year. It looks like
Aunt Bertha was missing teeth - but it's just a
shadow.

A Visit to Holmes County...

Heather, Brad, Kenna and Kassie took a ride in an Amish Buggy. Lori, Susan and the Foster Family had waited for Steph and I to meet them at Sol's Craft Shop in Berlin for an hour... We all were there by 10:00 am - but waited on opposite sides of the building for each other and didn't know it. Steph and I contacted Uncle Dick for cell numbers for Heather and Brad, we even tried calling Uncle Darrel's cell phone and talked to 'Josh' whoever he is and found out later Darrel has a new cell phone number. On the other side of the building Aunt Lori and Aunt Susan had tried calling the Joneses to see if we were still planning to meet them in Berlin. What a day!!! Steph and I drove down to another shopping area at 11:00 am and Steph saw Lori just getting out of their van... they decided not to wait for us any longer either and take the Foster's where they could ride in an AMISH buggy.
After the AMISH buggy ride pulled by 'Shirley' we traved down the road to Walnut Creek and had lunch at DerDutchman's Restaurant and then checked out the shop in the Victorian house across the street. Here Jenna and Kenna sit in the bentwood rockers on the restaurant's porch.
Later in the afternoon Steph and I toured the country-side in the convertible with the top down and we found this cozy country road dappled with sunlight. It was a beautiful day for a ride.

Visiting Family!!!

Kenna and Nathan had a good time playing together at Uncle Darrel's and Aunt Lori's. McKenna will be a flower girl in a wedding in Hartville on Saturday.
Mark, Nathan, Ben and I visited with 'The Brinkers', Susan, and the Foster family on Thursday night in Massillon. A supper of pizza and salad was enjoyed by all along with several yummy dessert selections.
(Dale had to work overtime and couldn't join us and neither could Andrea, who had a migraine headache that evening.)
