Family time

A good day with the family.    We had all the dogs in this photo until I skipped ran to get on Jerry's knee.   Only Percy stayed as the other four dogs just figured I was running after them so they ran off.

We ate too much food and then sat outside here to chat and laugh.  The girls are so busy in their lives.    Cassidy, the blond is with her fiancee and her dad. (We always invite him!)   Cass starts school for nursing on July 1 and Emory works as an electrician.  They live in Asheville, 2 hours away.   Behind me and Jerry, Mariyah with her significant other, Manny,  works for a vet, Manny does residential construction and they live outside of Charlotte..2 hours away.    Levi Hope is behind Tate, she lives about 30 minutes away in Boone but works and goes to college.     They have such busy lives but I was so happy just to see them today to catch up and get hugs.    It will probably be a while before we get together again.  

I hate  my little grandgirls have all grown up.  

In the extra is my new favorite photo of Levi and Mariyah.
