were beginning to wonder if we should sell the lake house because our son's family had only gotten up there 2 times last year, our daughter and her kids one time. We went a lot when my mother was here because she loved it so much but after she left we only went once to enjoy it then once in the fall to close it down. It is nice that suddenly people are scheduling weekends there so that there is room for everyone.

I love my flowers. Some didn't make it through the week where the temperatures never got above 12°. That is not temperatures the South is used to, and even with covers, they didn't survive. I can't wait to get some color back in those spots.
