Autumn is awesome!!

The autumn has gone into full swing in Lancashire County. This is our backyard and some of the trees are turning colors.

This tree (left) is in our front yard. Isn't it gorgeous!!! The fence between us and our neighbors has these whispy flowers and pretty yellow bells. How long will they last? I don't know.

St. George's Church, Blackburn

Rev. Bill, pastor of St. George's Church in Blackburn and Samuel Boguslawski are discussing when Samuel will be giving his short keyboard recital.

Just before Steve's sermon, he introduces Samuel, as he plays the keyboard, a beautiful version of "Amazing Grace." You see him standing on the left. As you can see on the right, I'm standing by the new "Rose Queen." The young lady on the left, just finished her year of duty. The young children around them are their attendants.

Last Day in Belgium - Gent

Our last day in Belgium, Tom and Lara took us to another town called Gent. We walked passed this cannon, that had never been used. But as you can see, the homes and shops are quite close together.
Ron, Shannon and Ella went into a castle, "Castle of the Counts." It was quite a fortified castle in Gent. Steve and I were sitting at a little cafe with Wyatt, outside, when we heard, "Grandpa!!!" Of course, you know that melted Grandpa's heart for everyone to hear his grandaughter calling out for him :) So Grandma figured a photo was in order.

Belgium - Family - Grandchildren

The grandparents and great-grandma, with Wyatt and Ella, drove for lunch to a town called Eiper. Walking around the town, reminded me of the town of Delft, in Holland where my aunt and uncle live. The town square, with the church, surrounded by souvenir shops, with the cobblestone roads, made it a challenge pushing a stroller on the windy day. Ella finally fell asleep, but Wyatt had his fingers in his mouth, making sure he checked everything out in the town.

The bouquet was just beautiful. The same
flowers were on the tables. Can you put up my bragging for a minute? We are so blessed to have Ron, Shannon, Ella and Wyatt in our family. The love of Ron and Shannon for the Lord and then towards us and Ron's parents, makes us proud to be their parents and grandparents. Wyatt is determined to walk. Well, right now that pole is his "lean to." Ella, on the other hand, was just relaxing on mom, wanting this photo session to hurry up and be over with. She was so pretty in her black dress and pretty black shoes.
