Opa got himself dressed up by his grand-girls - I believe this was his Sultan outfit.

Megan looks
mighty stylish with that hat and those beads! |
|
Another shot
for good measure. |
|
The Red River
of the North. |
|
The view from
the bridge across the Red River, looking back toward Moorhead's water
tower and Woodlawn Park. |
|
Across the
bridge were many paving signs like this. I had to take a picture
of each one, for that is what we do. |

Uncle Jeff
with all four kids, standing by the great pillars on the bridge across
the Red River. |

Another shot -
not as good (it was a cloudy day...) |
|
Two shots of
mother (Pauline) and son (Jeff) Holston. |

|
These painted
bison are EVERYWHERE in Fargo and Moorhead... the kids got a big kick
out of them, as you will see... |
|
Even Jeff got
in on the fun. |

I think this
one was called "Tigalo"! |
|
This was
Jacob's favorite. |
|
From back to
front, left to right: Nettie, Jeff, and Laurent, Geneva, Megan,
and Jacob (Notice the Statue of Liberty in the background!) |
|
This one is
called "Sam." I thought that was rather unimaginative, but oh
well... |
|
Geneva,
Laurent, Jacob and Megan. By the sign. |

In a stroke of
boldness beyond all expectation, I bought some plants (eight in all)
and am trying to keep them alive. I thought I had better record
their existence just in case they go the way of all my previous
horticultural efforts. Here I have two French Marigold pots and
two ivy plants of some sort that seem to be fairly hardy. |
|
A lovely
blooming French Marigold. |

Another lovely
blooming French Marigold and a big bush almost ready to bloom pot of
Mums. |

One last
pot of starting-to-bloom Mums joins the lonely French Marigolds on the
table. |
