Day One Hundred Forty Seven

Grand daughter Shelby had a blast at her end-of-the-school-year luau today. Here she is posing in all her "playground Hawaii" (her term)glory. They played games and enjoyed a water slide and snacks and got to wear these cool shades and hula skirts. The boys wore hats, not skirts, by the way. They had sunshine for their party. Walked to my house in the pouring rain, though, by three this afternoon. Good thing she had on a bikini! Tomorrow is the last day of school. Let the Summer games begin!

Day One Hundred Forty Six

Elijah was so proud of his scrapbook from
Mother's Day Out today. "That's me," he'd
say, pointing to himself in every picture.
"Those are my friends." So sweet!

Shelby was so stylin today, all in black, with
her Jonas Brothers T-shirt. She was excited
NOT to have any homework and looking forward
to her end-of-year class party tomorrow. They're
having a luau! She gets to wear a hula skirt!

And I have to post this one simply because
I love this picture! I love these two faces!!

Day One Hundred Forty Five

Memorial Day, 2009. America is the land of the free because of the brave. Thank you to all the fallen Patriots who died to defend my freedom. I thank God every day that I get to live in this country and be free. God Bless America!

Day One Hundred Forty Four

Welcome to my virtual farm! Farm Town is a game I play on Facebook, along with my family and friends (in Farm Town they're called my "neighbors" of course). I own a piece of land where I plow fields, plant seeds, harvest crops, sell them for a fair price in the farmer's market, then do it all over again. My farmer neighbors send me animals and trees for my farm. I have virtual sheep, pigs, cows, dogs, cats, rabbits, a donkey and horses. They can be sold or given away, but what's a farm without animals running amok! The trees are great because they can be harvested at any time without fear of losing the crop. The other plants are a different story. If you aren't prepared to harvest your potatoes or strawberries, cabbages or grapes or whatever when they're ready, they will go to waste and you will lose valuable coins to buy more seeds, fences, ponds--you get the idea--not to mention the chance to advance to the next level of virtual farming. I tell you this is more fun than virtual people should be allowed to have! Don't knock it til you've tried it (you know who you are). In the meantime, I've got my eye on the clock. Got some grapes due to be harvested just after midnight. "Moo!" y'all.
