We are so sorry to hear that Gramma Dee passed away.  She is a wonderfully spirited lady who could bring out the fun in people.  She has blessed everyone who had the privilege of knowing her, and now she is in the Lord's prepared home in heaven.   Our heart felt prayers go out to Melissa, Jason and all her family in this time of sorrow.   We only met Gramma Dee a few times, but she welcomed us into her home as if she knew us for years.   I will always remember her for her wild costume at Melissa and Jason's wedding during a special dance when she was wearing bright red shoes and bright red lipstick.    

 Our old swimming hole where it is so peaceful.

Becca, Richie, Estella and Brenna invited me to hike one of our favorite trails.

 The girls searched and searched and found a blueberry.  Brenna said, "Well the bears didn't get this one!"

 This trail is about 3 miles and Estella hiked about 2 + when she felt tired and just didn't want to hike any longer.  It took a square of chocolate bar to get her moving.  Notice she is still smiling.  She finished the whole trail and had energy to go swimming.

 Brenna hiked with gusto until the last little portion. 

Then we were off to the Sunday River Covered Bridge for a Subway sandwich.

Some of you will remember attending a beautiful wedding 9 years ago on this bridge.

Some of you may remember the squirt guns!!

To finish the outing we went to the Sunday River pool and hot tub where Richie's Uncle Vic was staying.   It was a wonderful way to spend a day.
