Well, loves....
we had a terrific summer visit from our youngest grandchild...
our 15 year old Luke the Duke from his Atlanta home....
this was his summer vacation before he enters High School
and I think we made the most of his ten days here in Texas.....

Uncle Nick dropped by after a business meeting up our way and
it was a great chance for the boys to catch up and have dinner together....

We had planned to have lunch at one of our favorite dining spots.....
and let me just say....I haven't had a Dr. Pepper in years,
but with the temp at 103 degrees, it tasted marvelous....

They had taken the Yogurt Parfait off the menu.
so I chose one-half of a waffle and bacon.....
It was a great visit with Uncle Rob, then we dropped him off
at his other Uncle, where we celebrated Papa's birthday...then headed home.
Even though it was a short trip, the travel and activities wore us out....
so good to be home, enjoy a relaxing bath and climb into bed....
I think my old age and the excessive heat wears us out.....

time that allowed us to make sweet memories.....

What a special memory. Your Grandson is very handsome but I remember him as a cute pre-teen just a short while ago. Time flies, but making memories of family time makes the most of Summer time. Enjoy the rest of your Summer - stay cool, dog days are coming.
ReplyDeleteBetsy, Luke has grown up. I know all of you enjoyed being around him. Yes, I bet it did you good to see him with his parents after he flew home. You have a beautiful family. Blessings to all, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteHow very special!! Loved every photo and every word of your delightful post! It's been a pleasure to watch Luke grow up.....such a good guy!
ReplyDeleteYou made memories together! What fun for him and you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful visit you had with your grandson, Betsy. Flying for the first time is a big deal, and so glad he did well and made it home safely. You did lots of fun things, and I'll have to check out that movie. Move theatre popcorn is the best! And Yes, Dr. Pepper on a hot Summer day is refreshing. I have to say that your waffles and bacon sure looks good. It's nice that he had the pool to cool him during the hot days while he visited. He's a handsome young man, and I hope his high school years are the best. It was some of the happiest times for me. A sweet picture of him with his mom and dad too.
