So, ok it was more than a peek. The title came from a little box my mom carried in her purse. Inside were mini pix of grandchildren so: Take A Peek At My Adorable Grandchildren. These were taken since we arrived here in Troy, OH a week ago Sunday. We have been parked in the back yard of our daughter Rachel, son-in-law Benji, and grandchildren Madeleine, Simon, and Judah. We have managed to meet with quite a few of our friends, but spent most of the time visiting and playing with the kids. (They were the ones that visited us at Raccoon Valley). On Monday we celebrated Labor Day with our other daughter Stacy and son Duane Jr, daughter-in-law Brandey and of course Emma and Ava. (Jr and family were visiting from Texas.) From the top the pix show Jude likes painting (kids' paints, wash right off but he didn't want to quit), pushing his mower, bubbles, riding with Sissy, and anything else his sibs are doing. Simon likes his new sunglasses and riding his Deere. Maddy loves crafts, and one-on-one time with grandparents. The little girls are cheerful and pleasant most of the time and look more like each other every day. Mom and dad can tell them apart, and take pity on everyone else by putting in different color earrings. The ones we visited here are 5 of our 9 adorable grandchildren who live in three different states. We were fortunate to have so many close together at one time.

We have had ten great days of visiting, but now it's time to get those tires rolling back to the Goshen, IN fairgrounds for the big Escapees rally starting Friday. We will be back in the kids' back yard in about a week, though, for more visiting and playing. We hope to meet with more friends and relatives then too.

Enough for now,

Louise and Duane
