It Came In The Mail Today

We received an invitation in the mail today to the graduation of ..................

. ............AMANDA!!!! Class of 2010.


My niece, Amanda - "Pretty in Pink" . Love that movie. Love that girl.

Amanda and her prom date looking "Pretty in Pink"!

This is the girl I love, not Molly Ringwald. (But I do like Molly and I like the horse.) I must include this one for the boys. Bennett and Hannan will be most impressed that you had your picture made with a horse. Congratulations Amanda. I'm proud of you and love you a lot !!!

Eat More Chikin ?

Leslie and Laurie ( and Bennett of course) surprised their cousin Alan for his birthday...







.................................. with his favorite.




And it was their pleasure!


Brooksie says , " Chikin? It tastes like chikin?"

Coloring Eggs

Some Serious Eating!

Little Fishes ..............

Little fishes in a brook,
Daddy caught them with a hook.
Mama fried them in a pan,
Then I ate them like a man.





Happy memories of a Mom who had a little saying, song, or poem for every occasion and a Dad who loved to fish. And loved to eat fish.



Uncle Tolly ( Daddy's brother) came to bring grape vines to share and to fish ....


....................... and stayed for an impromptu fish fry. And he ate them like a man. One that I remember well.

Spring Walk

What do you get on a beautiful Spring day when you put two little boys on a trail through the woods, sprinkle charred twigs along the path that need to be thrown into the pond and allow time to throw them?





Two happy but very dirty little boys ..............................







....................... who need a bucket of water..................

.......................... or a hose before they can even ...................



............... be bathed in the house .......................

Happy 2nd Birthday Hanman !
