Back home after our camping trip to recover from our vacation--LOL! Hubby & I are fine, but poor Fritz still isn't back to his old self. Apparently he ate & slept very little the 9 days he was boarded. Here he is enjoying a sunbath in the trailer. We had wonderful weather at the bay--lots of sun, cooler temps & not much wind!
OUR ADVENTURE
Some of you will remember that hubby discovered his father last year through Ancestry.Com DNA. His father died over 40 years ago, but hubby has gone from being an only child with no cousins to having 15 living first cousins! We attended the family reunion in Virginia & they welcomed him with open arms--& me, too! He was able to meet 12 first cousins & of course lots of family members. It was also great to see a part of the country we'd never explored. Loved seeing a couple cardinals & eating fried green tomatoes--won't miss the humidity!
Thanks for being my friend & sharing with me. Hopefully I'll remember how to do my job this weekend & have time to visit your blogs & maybe finish a card! Hugs, Greta
How exciting for your husband, what a great adventure for both of you!! I see more card making for those new relatives in your future!! Poor little Fritz, hope he settle back in soon.
ReplyDeleteOh how fabulous Greta! A whole new family for your hubby, and youtoo I expect.
ReplyDeleteAnd super photos too! Dear Fritz - next time I'll come stay to look after him :)
Love and hugs

Looks like you had a wonderful time Greta! Great photos! Your poor baby! Mine are always mad at me for a few days then they come around and remember who loves them the most :) Hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeletelooks like it was a great trip Greta. How exciting for your husband. But poor Fritz. He'll settle back home quickly though.
ReplyDeleteGreta, I'm so delighted that you shared. I've been dying to hear how it went! I think it's a wonderful heart-warming story and I'm so happy for your hubby and you! Loved the photo of Fritz, too. He is so relieved to have you home!! Enjoy your day! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for your hubby. What a wonderful surprise and how wonderful you were able to meet them and have such a nice reunion. Your photos show some beautiful country and it is nice to "see" you and hubby. Poor Fritz. Molly doesn't eat when we are gone either. She also gets sick to her stomach and it takes several days to get her back to normal. I'm sure he was in heaven to see you come back.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had fun, and glad to hear the story about your husband and his family, must be exciting. I am sure Fritz is happy to be back in mama's arm again!
ReplyDeletewhat a cute photo of fritz...he will be back to normal in no time!! so happy to hear that you and steve had a great time meeting his family!!
ReplyDeleteOh what super photos!! That's such a lovely story too ... I have a half brother who found me a few years back and no one knew he existed! My father had died more than 40yrs ago and he never knew he had this son ... Life is full of surprises!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your beautiful photographs with us. What a wonderful story about your husband finding his cousins. I hope Fritz gets back to normal soon, he must have missed you so much. Take good care, Shirleyxx
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures, and give Fritz some extra love...poor thing missing his people. Your pictures are wonderful and you two make a handsome couple.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely photos and the story of your husband finding his cousins. Family is important and it must be wonderful for him to know he is not alone. Good to hear you had such a fab time! And hopefully Fritz will be back to his old self soon!
ReplyDeletePoor Fritz!
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures Greta!
You make such a sweet and beautiful couple!!

Love your adventure photos, looks so beautiful. And poor little Fritz, sounds like he needs a trip with you and your hubby!
ReplyDeleteMy dear Greta! Apologies for my tardy commenting, but whew...August has been hectic! In fact, I've just returned from being in Edmonton (left my husband behind, as he's off to be an official at Tour of Alberta; I'm heading back Thursday after work...a four day weekend! Yayyy!) and I'm in need of cheering up! No one does that better than YOU! So I am gallery strolling! Your trip sounds excellent; how fabulous to meet and be so warmly welcomed by your husband's newly-found family! The scenery: so pretty! And Fritz...oh my! He just gets cuter every time I see him! I bet he was glad to have you back home!
