Mom has a family wall where she puts a frame at the end of each summer to commemorate the year and what has taken place at the lake house. Visitors, reunions, work that has been done during the summer and all of the events in our lives. The pictures go back about 20 years! Each year a special picture catches her eye and she excitedly declares that it must go on the family wall. Yesterday morning when some of the kids were awake, they started being loud, exchanging the 4th of July hat that has been around for years. They wrestled, laughed and I took pictures as the scene unfolded. Mom jumped in to get involved, organizing, placing bows, hats and flags, she was sure it would make for a great picture! There were quite a few humorous shots along the way and finally I got this picture that elicited her usual response–Now this is one for the family wall!
Happy Fourth of July to all the family, especially your dear Mom, Cheryl!! ❤ I got a photo of Mom and me, along with an earlier in the festivities on Saturday a photo of Mom, oldest daughter and the two grandsons together! 🙂 Fantastic memories and I like her idea of framing a picture to remember the event!

Oops, Lynn. Would you please edit Cheryl’s name and put yours! My Mom mentioned something and I let my cell phone down then came back without checking my reply to your great photograph! Even though you are distinctively special, you and Cheryl are friends so at least I had the “same sisters from another Mama!” 😀 😀
