June joys!!

Starting off here with a collage of this FIVE month-old!!!  Oh my dear, babies just don't keep!  But they do keep getting more fun!  I just want to pick her out of the picture and kiss those cheeks and hear her giggle!!  



Last week one day I was treated to Austin's rendition of "The Imperial March" from Star Wars.  I'm sure he just learned it from listening to it.  


He also was doing pull-up after pull-up - his style.  What a guy!


On Saturday afternoon we went to downtown State College for their Juneteenth Celebration.  It's always fun to see friends from Unity Church of Jesus Christ where we first attended when we moved to State College in 2009.   Their worship team was on the line-up (top right photo.)


How about this group??  Jump DC.  I could barely see them because of the crowd, but I tried to get a short video.


Sunday morning at church was another joyful time.  The entire band was there.  Here's a picture of the children's time with Pastor Jim.  


It was Father's Day.  This is a collage I made of the fun family times Dick had this past year.  


We have these two wonderful pictures of our dads, each taken about a year before they passed away. 



This is turning out to be an amazing month for our flowers!!  I just took a walk outside and I'm going to post each picture separately because they're so delightful!!















And now I need to finish up here.  VERY EARLY on Thursday morning (like at 2:30 am) we will be leaving for the Harrisburg airport, about a two-hour drive.  Bless my dear husband, he will drive me there, then turn around and come back home for a 7:00 am dentist appointment!!  Thankfully he will have time to nap after that before he goes to work at 4:00.  

And what will I be doing??  Meeting my sisters Doris and Mary Ellen at the airport where we will get our flight to Barb's place in Idaho!!!  I have never been there in all the years since they moved there in 1993!!  Of course Rose and Betty will be flying there too from S. Carolina and New Hampshire respectively.  Five days of sister time!!  


Here we come, Barb!!
