Distracted on a Lazy Sunday

I tried to think of a theme today, but I've been busy cleaning up after the cat who has been throwing up all over the trailer today. Right now she's chasing a fly, so she's feeling okay for the moment, but we'll see if she's able to keep food down later.

Yesterday we spent the day with our oldest son, Steve, and his family. Father and son had a horseshoe competition, with Denny having the edge of experience if not recent practice. Grandma played with the grandkids. The next time we'll be together is at Christmas, which isn't so very far away.



Do fathers and sons ever stop being competitive? I think pitching with your mouth open helps.



Marissa spent the afternoon doing handstands, cartwheels and flips on the swing set.



Kara tried to compete with her big sister on the swing set.



Zach puts every bit of his being into tossing the horseshoe.




Nasty and nice; poison ivy and butter-and-eggs by the Erie Canal.




One of the tour boats that travels through the locks on the Erie Canal. Note the upside down railroad bridge in the background. It is still in use.



An impressionistic sunset. Normally I delete the blurry pictures, but I liked the effect on this one.
