A beautiful painting by my great-great-grandfather - one of two David has in his living room.
Another view, but marred by flash. I need to get another shot of this from David.
Better view of previous painting.

Madalynne & David
Our next stop was in nearby Indianapolis, where cousin David Petrie had just said goodbye to his dear wife Anne. We got to see a lot of the family.
Mom & Doris
Mom with her old friend Doris Reames, in Seymour, IN. We stopped by her house on the way up to MI.
Doris and her son Danny live together. Danny and I hadn't seen each other since we were children. It was fun to catch up.

Mary Petrie (widow of David's brother Danny) and Mom catch up.
Great Nana plays Sorry with Emma.
We left Indianapolis at 9 pm, and drove up to Aaron & Laura's in Jenison, MI, arriving at 1:45 am. Here is Laura's table display, using flowers from her garden.
Nana, I'm not sure you should try to add that piece!
Baby hugs make you happy!
Happy smiles
Great Nana enjoys hearing Emma read to her.
Katie absorbs her beets through the skin.
Laura's raised bed garden, and nice fence Aaron built for her.
