Together Is Better

A 'Single Flower' is Beautiful.





The addition of 'Another' makes it more so.





The same is true for Granddaughters.

After graduating college Summa cum laude in May...





Amanda and Bronson were married on Saturday, July 2, 2011.




~♥~ Together ~♥~

I don't know why but I'm crying, Amanda is beautiful and Alivia is growing up so fast and the pictures, though I've seen them before just make me a bit lonesome. So love your granddaughters. I hope Billy and Amanda are happy together forever. Sending so much love to everyone and a special hug to Alivia....:-)

You must be so proud, so happy and so content that your granddaughter is now on the way to starting her own family with a fine young man.
Is Alivia proud or what? She is so cute and is also growing up.

Two is better than one. Unless someone offered you a choice between a hundred dollar bill and two ones.

Loree said...

Congratulations to the happy couple. How lovely.

Amanda said...

Thank you, Gramma! I love you and miss you so much. And thanks to every else, too!

Thyra said...

Congratulations Wanda! You've got a beautiful family.

That swallowtail is wonderful. Great photos. I can tell you that there have now been seen 6 swallowtails on a small island here in DK this year. This butterfly hasn't been here for many, many years. Last year was only seen one at the same place - so there is hope for a "butterfly-family" next year!!

Thank you for sharing those lovely pictures of your family.

Hi Wanda,
Sorry I haven't been around much lately.
What lovely granddaughters you have.
You were almost right on the mystery plant, I couldn't find it anywhere.

Lisa said...

Oh! my gosh! how beautiful! Congratulations to everyone!

Deborah said...

Wanda, it would be naive to think that your life is perfect, filled with endless happiness and love unblemished by fear, or worry or conflict. But despite that, I come away from your posts (and I've just read the last three that I had missed) wanting to believe it is so.
You have a knack for beauty. These posts are truly wonderful amd solace for the eye and heart.

Cindy said...

Came back to check after receiving your comment. I was wondering what you're up to, too! Hopefully lots more flowers blooming there in OH. Can you believe the Grands will soon be back to school? Hope Amanda and Bronson are settled and doing well.
