Day One Hundred Twenty Eight 2011



Happy Mother's Day to my precious 90 year old MOM. I am proud and blessed to be her daughter. You're The Best, Ma! I Love You!!


And Happy Mother's Day to my precious daughters. My daughter Kelly (on the left) is a MOTHER TO BE, expecting her first child in December, and my daughter Holly (on the right) is the SUPER MOM to Shelby and Elijah. I'm so proud and blessed to be their mom and grannymom. Thanks for a wonderful Mother's Day celebration today! I love you all!

Day One Hundred Twenty Seven 2011


Before his obsession with radio controlled airplanes began, lo these many years ago, hubby Neil started out on the ground with radio controlled trucks. That interest quickly faded, until grandson Elijah found out Grandpa has RC trucks. So Neil dusted them off and got one up and racing around the back yard this afternoon. He's going to take Elijah and Shelby out maybe this weekend to drive them and see what happens. That should be interesting. I snapped this second picture right before the truck slammed into that metal fire pit we use for marshmallow roasts. The truck survived the hit. We'll see if it survives the grandpeeps.

Day One Hundred Twenty Five 2011



Grandson Elijah had reason to be proud today at school. He recited the Golden Rule ("Do unto others as you would have others do unto you" in case you missed Bible class that day) and earned this certificate. Congratulations, Elijah! I'm so proud of you! I'm convinced that if everyone lived by this simple rule, there would be peace on earth. Having said that, in an unfortunate and unforeseen event, his sister took a hole punch and punched a hole through his certificate. Elijah was devastated. The irony is brutal.
