Awwww.........Mondays and love is....... with Sparks

July is here. Do you celebrate?

 Awwww...Mondays

Avery and Hannah both have July birthday's. This was taken a long time ago. Hannah was the flower girl for  Avery's niece Stacie's wedding. Hannah shares her birthday with my dad's little brother Frank who passed away during the Influenza Epidemic in the 1900's. Their birthday's  are July 3. Avery shares his birthday with my dad on July 23. Dad passed away in 1984 but he was happy to share his birthday with my husband.  Avery  lost her mom on his birthday in 2001; My paternal grandmother was born on July 29th. My brother Ed was born on July 5th. It is a red, white and blue month filled with birthdays, present and past.

My dad, as you know, played semi pro baseball in the 1930's. My uncle Tom Binder loved living in Texas ( he was a South Dakota boy) and he loved wearing his cowboy hat. He talked my dad into getting one. I have missed my father since his passing in 1984. 

love is...always reads my mind.

This pretty young lady Alexis graduated from high school. This 2016 pic was taken with her grandpa Roger at Rebekah and Zach's wedding. He would be so very proud of her.   She heads to Creighton for college this fall.

How about a dip right out the front door in this crystal clear blue pool? Memories of Blue Monday with Sally and also Pink Saturday . Beverly just needed a break and after so many years she stopped blogging and took a different social media route. Love a blue or pink house.

A Sparks to share today.

I hope you are enjoying this first day of July. It is not as hot as it has been, I am praying for rain,'
