Dream Day
Five kids, three adults, and a morning searching for fossils! We knew they were there somewhere, and taking two dinosaur-happy boys out to find belemnites, aka fossilized squid, was perfect. We put them on the spot and let them find them (with just a little encouragement… possibly… maybe…) My partner was often Miss Lorelei… who…
Happiness!
Well, the past two days have been sooooo enjoyable… If you’ve been around FOREVER as one of my readers… you’ll remember I used to share the adventures of my Cousin Robb. He toured the world, sending AMAZING photos along the way. He’s traveling through Wyoming and stopped to visit. Fortunately, my sister and brother and…
Loved
Rumor has it, someone had a second birthday party today. Here’s hoping it was full of thrills. Our best to you, Miss Lorelei! You are loved.
More Spit Than Bubbles
Sometimes life is Pretty Darn Good. Things seem to go along as planned… Oh, sure, once in a while things crop up that pose challenges. But nothing that a little hard work won’t eventually overcome. If you think about it… LIFE’S GREAT! and pretty cool. Even if there’s more spit than bubbles. Remember those great,…
Sweet
Another snowy and stormy day at my house… I unexpectedly ended up babysitting Jaxon and Lacee… but what a good day to snuggle in and make Easter nest cookies, right? Plus have a pot of beans on the stove… I was surprised that Vernon, too, hung around the house more than usual. I mean, there…
Kids
Who says egg decorating is just for kids?
Dyeing
Enough of dying, had to blog about dyeing instead!
Family Birthday
We attended a birthday party for Johnny’s oldest brother today… George is now 102 years young. It’s always a good time visiting with relatives and asking some clarification on family stories. Plus there’s always the family photos… The original George Greet who immigrated to the U.S. in the 1880’s. He began the ranch on Spring…
I know you are reading this on Christmas day, but I’m writing it on Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve is the birthday of Johnny, and I thought it was about time I gave more than a passing Happy Birthday to him at the bottom of a post! I just wanted everyone to know that this man…
Great Deal
Another visit with the Man in Red. Neither Lacee nor Jaxon was going to get very close. While Lacee was working up her courage, Jaxon was in my lap sobbing. Poor little guy. He’d been so excited to see Santa, but the actual face to face was just too much. Good ol’ Santa, though… he…
Traditions!
(I always say that word like Tevye does… TRADITIONS!) Last night’s blog got me to thinking… what are my family’s Christmas traditions??? Well, first of all… Christmas Eve is Oyster Stew. With none of my family around, meaning my parents and brother and sister, the only ones to eat oyster stew are Daniel and I. …
