GIRLS LUNCH IN KTOWN!

So, yes, I'm back in Dubai,

but I still have some fun times in the States

that I want to remember!

 

Like, our "Girls Lunch In Kentland"

which, as always, proved to be oh so much fun!

Would you believe the Cake Boss came to Indy

and Jackie and Brianna and Nathan went downtown,

stood in line, and came home with

THREE CAKES!

Lucky for us, she brought one of them to Ktown!

 

Everyone gave it a "thumbs up"!!!!

 



Jimmy is the only "boy" that is allowed to show up

at our girls lunch!

 



We got him to take a picture!

But darn, some of the girls had already left!

 



This one's for you, Dieds!

Your Mom was amazing and looked soooooo good!

It was wonderful seeing her one last time before I

flew back to the desert.

 



Then Jackie and I headed over to Monica's

to get to see little Camden again!

My oh my, had he grown!

Such a cutie!

 



I needed to get in some quality great nephew time

to last me for another year.

Look at this kid smile!

 



And, lucky me, I got to see TWO great nephews!

What a bonus!

 



Three generations...love you all!!!

 



I just LOVE those "Girls Lunches in Ktown"!

 

GOOD BYES!

The day before John left to

head back to Dubai,

(oh my, how his two weeks flew by)

we drove back to Kentland

so he could say good-bye to his Mom.

As luck would have it,

several other family members were present!

We got to see our nephew, Aaron, and meet our newest

great niece, Aubrey!



Aunt Mimi was in from Atlanta!

 



Yes, Baby Aubrey was

the center of attention on the Diedam front porch....



....as was Great Grandma DeeDee!



Annie got some "Grandma" time in with little Aubrey! 

 



And Mary and Ron got some "Mom" time in with

Joanne (and Aunt Sherry too)!







Ah, sometimes you just can't beat

these gatherings

at the Diedam house!



This is my very favorite picture

of John saying

good bye to his Mom.....for yet another year!

 





And off he flew, the very next day,

back to Dubai, to Ramadan, and to triple digit heat!

GOOD BYES!!!

PICTURE-LESS K-TOWN!

ROAD TRIP

to

K-town!

And a special bonus?

IT RAINED!

(WOOHOOWOOHOO!)

 I got so excited seeing everyone and catching up....

I didn't click my camera even once.

Oh dear!
But I'll be heading back to K-town again,
once Dieds arrives in town.

Picture-less K-town.....Good Grief!
