Why???

Why is it that I just can't seem to pull off writing on my blog more than about once a month? Could it be my excruciatingly, painfully slow internet speed? Or the fact that I have nothing interesting to write? Or maybe I'm so busy cutting grass and pulling weeds that I can't seem to find the time? Hmmm. Maybe all of the above. And since only about three people even look at my blog I guess no one is really disappointed. But I was hoping that this would turn into a great way to keep a family history since I haven't written in my journal since 1997 and haven't put together a scrapbook since my kids learned to talk. Bummer. It's just not gonna happen. Oh well. Once a month is better than nothing.
So on to the latest...
My good friend Amy and her three kids came all the way to Robinson just to visit me. Amazing! I can count on ONE HAND how many friends have come to visit me here in the last 7 years. Actually, I think I can count them on one finger! It was so much fun to be with them. They are fun, smart, wonderful people who are a pleasure to be around. We had a great time just hanging out, swimming, taking pictures and spending some time in St. Louis seeing the sights. Thank you, Demkes, for visiting me. It meant the world.

Wow...those last few photos are gorgeous...great job...
Can you please live closer so I can come and visit too...but you would need to move your whole home/landscape with you too...

By the way, I DO notice when you don't blog...yes you could really do MUCH better...haha...
I am doing a blog for the same reasons you stated why you started one...I am terrible at journaling/scrapbooking so I am going to turn mine into a book and call it good! :)

Nice pics. Good family togetherness. Hopefully it is real because H.F. will know if it is not.
