I don't even know where to start this morning. I guess I could start at the beginning of my trip to New York. There's going to be several installments. After all, I was gone a week and a half. Lots going on. And, I want to share it all with you, my blogging buddies.
* Daughter Shirley drove me up and that was a very nice trip. I'd never seen the new additions that Daughter Susan and husband Kevin had made on their house. What a surprise!!
** The limelight hydrangeas on the front yard were stunning.
****Later we ate dinner at the Manursing Island Beach Club in Rye, New York (on the Long Island Sound). Beautiful view. Peaceful.

It is now two story with dormer windows, a sweeping southern colonial porch out front. And, a flower garden just getting started along the walk. I love it.
Another view of the beautiful flowers.
*** Shortly after we arrived, Shirley yelled for me to grab my camera. This young buck had come to pay us a call.

***** Two of my daughters. Susan on the left lives in New York, Shirley on the right lives near me in Virginia.
And, so, that is the first day of my wonderful visit. There will be much more to come later. Right now, I think I will go take a nap. Still tired from all the activities of the past 10 days.
Welcome back. What lovely daughters you have.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the beginning of a wonderful trip. I look forward to seeing all your adventures.
ReplyDeleteGreat first post! Can't wait to see more! Wow...the changes to Susan's house are dramatic! It looks great!!! Those hydrangeas are so beautiful! And I love that you saw the little buck on your first day.
ReplyDeleteLatane, so happy you enjoyed your vacation trip and are now safely home again.
ReplyDeleteSusan's house is beautiful - love the long porch.
Your girls are really lovely - must have been great to get together in New York by the shore.

What lovely daughters you have, and the house is just beautiful! I do love the dormers and roof line. I'm sure you are tired but know that you must have had a delightful time.
ReplyDeleteA buck, how exciting and the house and flowers are gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteHow nice that you are visiting with your daughters. They are both very pretty ladies.
ReplyDeleteLove the pretty white house too. There is just something about dormers that looks so homey to me.
I first learned about limelight hydrangeas through the blog world. I now have three of them and they are blooming beautifully right now.
How neat for that buck to allow you a photo op.
Have a wonderful time.
I hope that you had a great time. Tom The Backroads Traveller
