  1. So good to see these photos, Odie. That sun room looks lovely. How blessed must Aunt Frances have felt to have all her family around like that, and a great grandson too. Wonderful!
    Glad you enjoyed the Blue Grass music my friend.

  8. Looks like fun! I absolutely LOVE bluegrass. I would have liked to hear what they sound like. I'm sure they are very talented.

    My favorite door prize is the red flowers in a pot. So pretty.

  9. It looks like it was a fun day! I love listening to banjos - my grandpa plays and he gave me one of his old banjos so I can learn too!
