Happy weekend to you. It's busy days in these northwoods...but in lots of fun ways too. We have some relatives coming in town to visit today and are here for the weekend. I have a friend coming in from California the next week - and in between it looks like Annie's team may go to state for soccer! So first of all an update: I plan to take a bit of a break due to such a busy schedule these next few weeks. So I will be back probably in 2 weeks...maybe 3.
Next, I just wanted to share that yesterday would have been my paternal grandparents' 75th wedding anniversary. I know they celebrated in heaven. But I had some neat old pics of their wedding I shared on my instagram yesterday, and for those of you that don't follow me there I thought I'd share some here:
I just love old photos, don't you? I was really close with my grandparents. Although my grandpa died when I was only 9 years old. My Gram, however, lived to be almost 93. My daughter Annie is named after here (as their names were Steve and Anne). Just thought you vintage lovers might enjoy them too so thanks for letting me share ;)
Now for some pinterest fun! I just wanted to share that I have a pinterest board titled "summer" and you can find it here. In it you can find some things like
Strawberry tea sandwiches click here.
watermelon rice krispies treats click here.
grilled pineapple with cinnamon honey drizzle click here.
And a great marinade for chicken on the grill click here.
These are just a few of the fun summer treats you can find there. I love scouring pinterest for great seasonal ideas. ;) I'm sharing this with Jean at sonotorganized blog. And Rebecca at Rebecca's hearth and home blog. All in relation to their 30 Days of Summer series.
I love those old photos as well. Some of the old family photos in my possession are the tin type ones. The sad thing about those is they tend to fade with time. Great summer ideas. I'll definitely be checking out your Pinterest board. Thanks for linking up with us!
ReplyDeleteLove your old photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing them~
I love looking at them and imagining the joy they have and the wide open life that lay before them. Have a wonderful time these next few weeks. Will be checking in on you. : )
What a pretty bride your grandmother was, Carrie. I loved seeing these old photos, which must be during the War. The bridal headdress is very distinctive and charming. Thank you for sharing.
