Dad & Mom


This is one of my favorite pictures of my parents. The picture was taken in Nancy's backyard many years ago. Wednesday, October 3, would have been their anniversary. I believe it would have been their 60th anniversary. I don't know how much many of the nieces and nephews know about their grandparents. I look at this way - when the older members of a family pass away so does the stories that they have lived thru. If they are not passed on down, then history is gone!!! Let's not let that happen. Spend time with the older relatives and ask questions. You won't be sorry. Until next time..........

The Coming of Fall

I love this time of the year. Weather is finally cooling off and leaves will be changing colors soon. The hummingbirds that have been so active and numerous this year are starting to thin out and head south. We have really enjoyed watching and feeding them this year. Deer hunters will soon be intruding on our space. Not fun but a necessity. Jim and I were sitting under our carport yesterday when we spotted 4 deer feeding. The funny thing about this was they were feeding underneath our neighbor's deer stand. Such as life in the country. I never thought that I would ever live in the country. But I guess I am adjusting. It has not been easy for me. Jim is country thru and thru - not me.

I really like this blog thing that Libby, Lana, Leigh and now my brother are doing. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading about family's day to day living since we don't see each other very often. It would be nice to get my sister's involved too. But I don't really see that happening as they are too busy with other things. Maybe they will fool me. I, too, don't know what I am doing with this but I will learn.

Catch you next go round. Love all of you.
