With summer coming to a close I’ve been looking over previous summertime memories, I can’t resist collecting some great moments on “Porch swings…or patio swings.” As it turns out we like ’em all…just follow through the years! It must be the southern part of me that appreciates these peaceful bonding places, but it seems that it’s everyone’s thing!

Our middle child Elizabeth and her lifelong friend. – Autumn ’93

With her girl Tootsie – April ’95, chilling on our porch swing! #littlehomeinthewoods

Our youngest, Andy at 14 months in April 1996, on the big porch swing at the Tallahassee Museum, always a favorite! #plattmanor

Tootsie on our wooden porch swing, where she loved sitting and listening to the birds. – Summer’96 #littlehomeinthewoods

Easy like Sunday morning – porch swing version, Oct ’96. On our trip to Pine Mountain, Ga, our cabin had the best full-length porch complete with swing, therefore Andy & I were at home there. #plattmanor

A boy and his trains! Andy was always all about trains. I love this scene where he is so intrigued with his favorite pull-apart train beads, at age 2. #littlehomeinthewoods

Cousins…boys will be boys! David & Andy, early summer 1998, on Beechwood Drive. #littlehomeinthewoods

Andy with Uncle Hoyt’s beloved travel companion aka “dog” during their visit to Beechwod Drive, Sept,’98.

This scene wins hands down as the best porch swing ever, in the Greyfield Inn double-bed swing on Cumberland Island, Ga – August 2002. A 25th Anniversary trip, when we took the two kids still at home and we are so glad for these memories! The picnic lunches were the best! #plattmanor

The Mr. at the Greyfield!

A new pup(?) Kodi – late summer 2005! Kodi showing off that purple tongue….cutie! Now 11 years old!

The end of 5th grade pool party at our house was a hit. Here’s some of the patio swing loving group – May ’06 – BHPS #lifeatthirtyseventwelve

Our little friend Gus with me on the Tallahassee Museum swing, August 2006! #plattmanor

Friends Jonathan, Vanessa and cousin Bea swingin with Andy! August 2006, going back to school party! 6th grade – BHPS

On a tiny pretty swing at Maclay Gardens for a wedding – June 2010, the two of us seated with our daughter, son in-law, & Andy! Our favorite summer porch swing photo! #plattmanor

Our most recent patio swing scene that we love…Even when we’ve been away, we return home to find that Andy also likes this chill spot! Memories in the making, continue! June 2016 – #lifeatthirtyseventwelve
