If you’ve had a chance to take a drive down Riverview Line these past few weeks you would have certainly noticed four apple trees lining the roadside, absolutely covered in fruit. Behind the trees, a field of soybeans ready for harvest made it the perfect spot to take our fall cover shot.

On the cover is little Evelynn Requena, Alex Thiel, and his grandmother, Irene Duff. The remaining photos shown here include the youngest Thiel boy, Anderson, along with the Hems twins, Owen and Logan! The children had a great time picking apples, running in the country air, and even taking in a story from Grandma Irene under the blue sky. You can see how Grandma Irene lights up when she interacts with her grandsons and the other children in these photos. Being a grandmother means many things and in most instances keeps us feeling and looking young. The real trick is to keep moving and to stay fit so we can enjoy our grandparenting years to the fullest.

As the afternoon came to an end, Irene, her grandsons, and the other children took their apples and their memories of the day and headed home. Thanks Grandma Irene for the fun memories made today!

Becoming a grandmother is like the harvest in the fall, we grow from a mother into a grandmother and if fortunate enough one day into a great grandmother!
