Sorry, no photos of me at home, working my garden or lying in my hammock. But I do have these photos and since it was a great weekend out with family, I thought I should put them up. I spent my first weekend back in the states in Dubuque Iowa, visiting my cousin Jennie who goes to seminary there. I drove up with my mom and Jennie's mom, my Aunt Joyce, joined us. We had a wonderful time talking, visiting, eating out and seeing something of that part of the state. One of highlights was the Mines of Spain park, tucked into the cliffs above the Mississippi River. On our last day there, we headed over to Galena Illinois - they have a wonderful downtown area with lots of fun stores (no pictures, sorry, to busy shopping!). I loved being able to spend time with my family and it's been ages since I've seen Jennie- a good time all around.
