My kids send the funniest photos

Frodo and Pippin on a work outing

Cool photos

Meanwhile, we had our boating day

I am not sure why my evening photos are posted for the next day

but they are. 😕

Our beachfront is huge and flat and awesome

and thankfully is not this! Eeek!

The bee house?

My old house down by the water with the cottage

The same trees are still there! So many memories

That is the same cottage after my parents rebuilt it

What's a week on the lake without lots of s'mores?

The old playground at my school for 7th and 8th grade, a Ukrainian Byzantine school. I was standing in the spot where we would be up to kick in kickball and that is the roof we tried to kick the ball over.

And yes, we did!

The school, rectory and church

I think the same books in the church

Ukrainian hymn and yes, we had to learn Ukrainian.

I love attending the Divine Liturgy

Then I went to my classmate Heidi's grave.

She died when we were in 7th grade.
