Quick post before a sister "retreat"

A quick post before I go to bed!  I'll be leaving in the morning for my sister Mary Ellen's house.  We three "Pennsylvania sisters" (Doris, Mary Ellen, and I), get together for a weekend annually.  It has always been at my house, but this year it will be at Mary Ellen's house.   We're doing Thursday, Friday, and Saturday because I want to get back for church on Sunday.  I took too many Sundays off in May, due to our trip and then COVID. I'm REALLY looking forward to being together.  


A few pictures from this week.  I decided to get a fern for the first time.  It is shaded most of the day until late afternoon.  I hope it does ok.




Destiny and Alex have a pet chameleon.  On Monday they made a trip to Lancaster and asked if we could mist the aquarium at 6 pm.  I figured Austin would enjoy helping with that, so when I took food to Anthony and Lori's, Austin came home with me and we three went to take care of Pixie.  Austin would rather have held her than do the misting, but I told him he'll have to wait till Destiny is there to do that.  The last thing I wanted was to have a frightened chameleon on the lose, haha!  




Last evening we were at their place and Elizer was asking for ice cream.  Destiny had made popsicles out of her flavored water and he loved it!






He also likes to say "cheese" for his pictures now, haha!




Today was our son Frank's birthday.  43!  He was 15 when he came to our family in 1994.  Frank is Destiny's dad, in case you aren't familiar with our family.  



Today Frank shared this photo taken by a Lancaster Newspaper photographer at last week's all-star game.  I LOVE it!!  J'von is right in front catching a pass, and all the family is up in the top rows of the bleachers!! 



That's all for this time.  Gotta get a few hours of sleep!

That picture of J'Von making that catch with all of you watching is really amazingly wonderful!! Elizer is beyond adorable and what a great way to make a frozen treat! I'm sure Austin will be holding the lizard soon! LOL Enjoy your sisters' weekend, Jean!

Sisters week! That's the best and I know you are having lots of fun and laughs right now.
That newspaper photo is a treasure. Not only does J'von look cool, but having all of you in it, is all the better.
Destiny is so smart making popsicles that way. I know you are proud of her, rightfully so.
