ohio day trip

kate and i drove for 6 hours yesterday to visit granny in ohio for her 85th. papa t and uncle justin were there too, which kate was super excited about. although mama lynn couldn't come, she sent a new book with a lullaby cd (kate adores books and music) for the long drive home. by the 3rd song she was sound asleep...too cute! granny's yard was like the garden of eden. we just went from one thing to another. from blueberry and raspberry bushes, to yummy concord grapes, apples and pears!
polishing off the last of the raspberries


the infamous blueberry patch (i can remember so many good memories collecting berries as a little girl from this olf cage)


uncle justin and kate: much more comfortable with the whole hugging thing this time aroud


a raspberry bush my dad dug up so i can transport it home! now i will have a plethora of yummy berries next summer!
