My older brother's visit

Last week my older brother John, wife Maria, sons Johnathan and Josiah and daughter Kaili came to visit. They wanted to see Living Gallery, and then stayed to visit for a week. It was nice to see them and nice to get a break from my regular schedule. :-)

We stopped at one of the overlooks on the way to Pretty Place.



Aunt Lana, Kaili and Johnathan at Pretty Place. (Josiah was not feeling very photogenic at the moment.)




Josiah took great delight in Shadow, the two of them becoming fast friends the first day. One morning as he was burying himself in her "fluff" he looked up at me and said "She loves me!" :-) Yep, she did...and he loved her!




Kaili on the other hand was not so sure about the dog. She finally decided that if she got in Shadow's crate, then the dog would not be able to "get" her. However, seeing a little girl in her crate only made Shadow curious and want to investigate. :-D In the end, Kaili warmed up to Shadow...as long as their "meetings" were on Kaili's terms. :-)



Johnathan decided he wanted to impersonate Shadow playing frisbee.




My sister Lynetta came to Living Gallery with us on Friday night so on Saturday the kids and I took her back to Ambassador Baptist College in NC. We stopped in Gaffney to see the "Big Peach", or as Kaili called it..."the REALLY big peach!". :-D




If only I had known to order tomato plants before they came...as I had a very willing little "gardener".
