Labor Day at the Endress home



Heidi and Alice,  five year old cousins

                                   Jonas with Uncle Glenn
                                   Kyla and Preston

All of us (except for Perry II who was on the Vermillion River in his boat) were at Bruce and Elizabeth's on Sunday.  We enjoyed their lovely and spacious, newly remodeled home, and they had plenty of room for us all to stay overnight. Preston and Kyla stayed with her sister who lives nearby.

I impulsively purchased the $1 sunglasses at Walmart--- just for fun.  ---Carol
