After our three week trip to Barcelona and Paris, I
was home for eight days. I am not sure why I booked my summer travel so close together,
but that is how it worked out. I played with the boys, unpacked, did laundry
and repacked.
The boys and I flew together to Michigan to visit Uncle Fred,
Aunt Betsy and Omi in mid-July. It was great fun as always to visit Uncle Fred,
Aunt Betsy and Cousin Mel in Ann Arbor. Their vast garden was looking like a park.
This visit, they had a new puppy dog
named Maizey Blue who enjoyed the boys and whom the boys enjoyed in return. Together they
exhausted each other.
After two days and many nice meals together, we
drove to Rochester to visit my Mum. One of our cats Gusti is home with Omi. Both
my Mum and our cat were happy to see us and as chatty as ever. The boys had fun
playing with Gu, since they haven’t seen her since the Fall.
During our four
day visit, we played with the train set, made many fabulous arts and craft
projects, took Omi out to dinner and played in the yard. Here's the front yard with a cat sculpture from us.
Here's the back yard and gardens:
One of the days, Uncle
Fred, Aunt Betsy and Cousin Laura came and took the boys to the Detroit Zoo,
which was a big adventure. I tried to help Mum document all of the wonderful
treasures at her house so that she can move someday, if she wants to. We have
been cataloging all of my mother’s and father’s books so that perhaps we can
donate the academic books, also. Our time in Michigan seemed too short; we flew from Detroit to Seattle.
