Happy Birthday, Suzi !! You darling little Vixen !!

DAUGHTER, DAUGHTER, DAUGHTER !!

You were sure a change from boys! Growing up without any brothers, it took me forever to get used to boys. Then, here comes my girl, and I've forgotten how they are.

So many fun times.

HaPpY 25th BiRtHdAy!!!!

Sister, Mom, Grandma, Great Grandma, Matriarch....Happy 82nd Birthday!

Poppy having a great Father's Day

Wearing the shirt Greg's family made for him for Christmas (with all the grandkids represented.)
I read a statistic that:

now only 20% of all households have an intact family. I'm happy that he's set a great example for his sons and daughter.....love and forbearance, and above all "never, never, never give up."

What matters most...time with loved ones.

Got to spend a little time over breakfast with Kaylynn (Cory's family) and kids. So great to see them. I could eat them up!!

sweet, yummy Owen!

The smile she has just before she plays a trick on you!

Seems to be doing well with new cochlear.

love lilacs

This is the little one Greg's family gave me for my birthday 2 years ago. The first Spring after a very mild winter it had 7 blossoms on it.
This year after a bad winter (where it sits taking the full blast of southern exposure), it was half dead with only one beautiful little blossom.
After everyone elses lilacs have bloomed and are past...mine just opened up today.
I guess it was thirsty, we had a torrential downpour all day!
This Fall I'll fashion a windbreak for it and prune it some...hoping for an easier winter on them and more blooms next year.


Yeah-yeah
I know .... out of focus...

Harley girl.

I only got to see 2 games this year...but this represents the last one.
Greg told Harley to hit a home run and run around all the bases. She wasn't sure exactly what that meant so he said hit the ball really really far and then run around all the bases til you touch homeplate.

OK!!!
So Harley got up to bat and hit the ball really far!! Then she preceded to run to first, and then to second where she nudged the other runner out of the way and ran on to third. It wasn't a home run after all but by golly she was going to run those bases. So very darling!!

Super Dad !

Trophies.

Last ball game.

Last day of school.

Let the good times roll !!
