That would be cool! Here is Skyelar at her fourth birthday party a couple of weeks ago:

Linda, her expression says... all!

LOL, yes! Her older sister baked a cake for her and Skyelar's expression is like "I'm only four years old and I bet I could do better than that!"

Wow, that's some beautiful scenery you saw, Asso!

Ages ago I went with my family (I was a kid then) on a trip on the "Romantische Straße" and I remember being in places like Dinkelsbühl and Rothenburg. I must return there one day.

I spent a little time near Lake Konstanz and a little town called Rottweil during a school break once when I went to visit a German student I'd met in England. The whole train ride down the Rhine was gorgeous. In that part of Germany (and the border of Switzerland) it's like looking at fairy tales come to life everywhere you go. I remember that I didn't want to leave the train window even to pee.

I think she looks like you, Linda!

And probably will be just as naughty!

Skyelar looks very cute! And slightly dissapointed indeed

Here is a very IDIC weekend in August (what Linda is doing, running around and not writing fan fiction like she should be doing).


An eagle at a wedding is good luck. This is the Lac du Flambeau reservation in northern Wisconsin.

The shaman performing the ceremony:


Blessing the couple:


The couple listening to the drum:


The groom is into motorcycles and his biker friends have parked their bikes in front of the newly married couple's house:


Two of my granddaughters who attended the wedding. No photos of me, I am taking the photos!


Next day, half way across the state, I attended a funeral. Actually it is a year after my friend's death. It is the placing of the tombstone ceremony and I made food for the feast which followed. My daughter made fry bread and I made wild rice because although he was Jewish, my friend had many Native American friends. Also very IDIC is the bagpiper from the Robert Burns Club (Scottish poet society); the piper actually is Italian. My deceased friend was a member of the Burns club that I am also a member of. Note the stones on top of the tombstone. They are put there by friends of the deceased. One stone is from a ruined castle in Scotland, thanks to another member of the Burns club who grew up in Scotland but moved to Milwaukee many years ago.

Yep, that was an IDIC weekend all right! Neat.

More than a IDIC Week End, I think!

[justTripn]

Wow. And it looks like you had beautiful weather for both events.

Well, here is the entire clan at my brother-in-law's wedding in Ohio a couple of weeks ago. Note our 4th child...a giant Pikachu doll that goes everywhere we do.

Fourth child. That's great. What a lovely family you have!

[Asso]

This is a fact!

Nice family photo, Bether!
