can’t you tell it’s snowing out here?

Oreo sits on the carport roof and implores us to let him in. Dream on, kitty. I wonder how long he’ll sit there hoping before he finally heads for the garage? ~~Rhonda

happy birthday, grandpa!

Gary and Laurie gave DH a balloon bouquet for his birthday. Or were they really for the twins?? I wish you could have seen the twins’ faces when he walked in with them! Much laughing and squealing with delight! After they had them for a few minutes, they found out they could run with the […]

naptime for buttercup

You can find Buttercup under the bubble light tree every afternoon, where she enjoys a long nap before DD gets home from school. She doesn’t bother the ornaments…just makes a little nest and snuggles in. And if DD is late, Buttercup prowls the front hall, crying until she gets home. 🙂 ~~Rhonda

*very* important mail

DH walked in from work yesterday evening and said, “We have some VERY important mail!” He was right. Someone knows how to make Grandma (and Grandpa) very happy. 😀 ~~Grandma 🙂

the grands

I’m posting these pictures just because. 🙂 I love ’em all. Can’t wait to see them again. Did I tell you they’re coming here for Christmas?? 😀 ~~Grandma

corn maze

While we were out east visiting our family, we took everyone to a corn maze one afternoon. It was a beautiful autumn day. Sunny, but coolish. The twins had a ball, running around, picking up walnuts, looking at pumpkins, and riding the toy tractor. Checking out the maze map. Heading into the maze. Walking a […]

play day

daughters

Our youngest daughter is having an overnight with her older sisters. Movies, computer games, junk food, soda…should be lots of fun! And fudge. DH made some for them. Did you notice the lamp? DD found it at the Salvation Army store for $4. 🙂 We also found a nice recliner for their living room. They […]

seven generations

I don’t know if there is a five generation picture of my great-great-grandmother, my great-grandmother, grandmother, mother and me in the same photograph or not. I don’t recall ever seeing one. There may be. I was four years old when my great-great-grandmother Jane passed away. But here are five generations on my mother’s side, via […]

family photographs

I’ve been uploading family photographs that my mother gave me. Lots of fun to look at. And it’s a good project to have underway. Here are some of my favorites, so far. Dad’s and Mom’s high school graduation pictures. My parents nine months before they were married. I think they were on their way to […]
