Visiting my parents

On Saturday I got to spend three hours at my parents’ house, visiting them with my son. Their 44th wedding anniversary was Friday. At one point during our visit, we were outside and it started raining, so we stood on the covered porch. I took pictures. Here’s one of my son: Here’s another. A water […]
