A Day at the Creek in Roebuck, South Carolina on 5 August 2011


I don't quite know what it was about these temporarily abandoned Barbie dolls
that struck me and made me take a photo of them.
Aly and I were going to the creek with her Mom, Carla, 
with my Mom, "Nana", and with Joey and Megan.
Before we left the house, Aly brought out her two dolls, sans clothing, to accompany us.
I mentioned that I thought they were not properly dressed for the excursion
but, alas, she had no bathing suits for them.
I told her to find some tape and we each created stunningly designed (don't you think)
swimming attire for them.

One of many things I love about my daughter, Carla, is how she does things
with her children that I used to do as a child in the 1950's.
Simple things, family frolics, reading, playing cards and board games, playing outside.
She really makes the effort, in this technological era.

  1. Great pics, Linda . . . love the sibling splash, the free serenity oozes peace and the one of your mom and your daughter is just precious. Nothing quite like multi-generational time together. I need me some of that, too!

  2. Indeed, there is nothing like it. Remember a few times when all those generations wanted to get away from each other, but such times were short-lived. It's all a rich blessing now...
