Day Three Hundred Four 2012

Happy Birthday, Jane!

My baby sister Jane celebrated her 51st birthday today. How can that be?? Seems like yesterday she was toddling around in a diaper, a bottle in one hand, a pacifier in the other hand, and another one in her mouth. She’s a blessing to me in so many ways, not only as a sister but also as a friend. Wishing you a happy birthday, Jane! I love you!!

Day Three Hundred Three 2012

Grandson Elijah and his first grade class visited a nearby pumpkin patch last week. This is the pumpkin he picked. He decorated it at school and brought it home today.
It’s a pretty cool pumpkin. I especially like the mustache. Nice touch, Elijah.

Autumn Postcards From My House









Do you see the bird?



"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns."  ~ George Eliot

Day Three Hundred One 2012

"Winter is cold-hearted.
Spring is yea and nay,
Autumn is a weather-cock,
Blown every way.
Summer days for me.
When every leaf is on its tree."
- Christina Rossetti

Day Three Hundred 2012

Flea Market

Here’s one for Mom and Jane.

Can’t escape politics. Even at the flea market.

Neil bought this thing. It is creepy. I don’t know what he plans to do with it.

Santas were all over the place today.

This was probably the strangest thing I saw all day. He must be so embarrassed.

Frank N. Stein

She’s 2 kewl 4 skewl.

This looked like a cross between ‘Jaws’ and the spider in Stephen King’s ‘It’. It was made out of dried gourds.

Just so you know…..

Now!

I imagine this hanging in some church on the Gulf Coast.

After the flea market, we dropped in to visit grandson Knox and daughter Kelly.

If you received a call from Neil’s cell phone this afternoon, this is why.

Knox got a kick out of listening to Grandpa’s cell phone ring tones which kept him distracted while his mom shoveled food into his mouth. We enjoyed our visit as always. Good time Friday.
Happy TGIF!
