JUNE FUN

 I wonder what it would be like to live in a world where it was always June. Anonymous


It's June and I'm trying to live in the moment, enjoying  and soaking in each beautiful memory!

We've been busy during the first few weeks of the month. Gili ( granddaughter #3) loves horses and started following the horse races. She and her family would always host a Kentucky Derby party! This year they were out of town for the Derby so they hosted a Belmont Party! It's a pretty big deal! We have snacks first and then while snacking we watch the preliminaries. After seeing the horses and their jockies and owners we get down to making our pics! This year Monica and Gili won the Trifecta! They both picked the top three horses, first, second and thrird place. They didn't know they had picked the same ones until after all the pics were completed and hung on the wall! During the very short but exciting race there are lots of whooping and hollering! There was also a horse race with the "kids" on their stick horses! 




And the winners with The Trifecta are...Monica and Gili!

Usually Memorial Day weekend is the time we put the boat in the water. This year the water was very high so we waited until the next week to put it in. It turned out to be a gorgeous day but a bit chilly for swimming though the kids braved the cold water and went in anyway! 


                           In a SUNSHINE state of mind!!  🌞


We stopped at our usual beach which, back when I was growing up, was called Point Sob. There is a different name for it now, but WE still call it Point Sob ( or was it Point Saab? ).  There are always lots of boats on this beach and some anchored nearby in the water! It's a very popular spot!

Of course I found an Estate Sale this month and made some purchases for the shop! They are not all listed in the shop yet, but will be up soon! Hop on over and take a look!



We also made it to a play, A Raisin In The Sun, at a local theatre. Wonderful play, by the way! I knew one of the men in the play whom I had known since he was 12. I still think of of him as a little kid but now he's a grown man.


                                
                                                Demetrius whom I used to know as Meechie!

                    And before the play got started we were treated to some Jazz music! It was wonderful!




And we also watched our grandson play flag football. Our great grandson, Leo, LOVES his Uncle Charlie!




                                                 So that's been part of our month so far! 

We are on Instagram and post pictures of our treasures that we sell in our Etsy shop, Gwen And Alma's! Check it out at Instagram @gwenandalmas.etsy.com

Enjoy the rest of JUNE!
