Our Youngest Grandson is Now Driving!
~~~ Friday, June 30 ~~~ Jesse was delighted to pass his driving permit test. Yes, we made sure that he is showing the wrong side of the card. 🙂 He was kind of hoping this old Jeep would “die” before he got it. It is the vehicle each of Jere and Kristen’s five children use […]

Birthday Lunch at J.B. Dawson’s Restaurant
~~~ June 25 12 pm ~~~ Cerwin and I arrived early so I ordered a virgin pina colada to enjoy until Austin, Jana and Ian arrived. This meal was to celebrate Ian, Austin and Jana’s 2023 birthdays. The window light messed up this photo a bit, so I tried another angle. Ian was ready to […]

It means even more to me this morning.
Our Granddaughter Hannah
10-18-1988 to 7-4-2023 We and our family are still trying to wrap our minds around this. Our second oldest grandchild died suddenly yesterday while in the hospital (since Sunday evening) for blood clots in her lungs. We are not sure of the details of why the blood clots happened. It was about 2:48 pm when […]
Mockingbird Visit
This mockingbird came by for a short visit the other day. At first I thought it was something other than a mockingbird because of its brown tones, but I read that they can have a variety of color tones. Also, the afternoon sun may have made it look lighter than its usual gray. Either way, […]

Oh, What a Beautiful Morning
~~~ Sunday Morning, June 25 6 am ~~~ It was the kind of morning that drew me outside. The sky above me was bright blue with just a few clouds. We don’t see the sunrise in summer, because it comes up behind our woodlot. As I moved toward the southeast, there was a light haze […]

Father’s Day Lunch
~~~ June 18 ~~~ This meal was a gift to Cerwin from Roy and Deb. I think it was Deb and Roy who got soup for an appetizer: potato and lobster bisque. The chicken meal belonged to Barb. Roy and Cerwin each chose a steak with meaty baked beans. Roy had a loaded baked potato […]
There Is Something Peaceful About a Calla Lily
I can’t explain why a Calla Lily looks and feels like peace to me. Maybe it’s the beautiful contrast between white and green. Things I learned from the Internet: Calla lilies are native to South Africa and are considered tender perennials because they don’t tolerate freezing weather. Calla lilies are terrific cut flowers. They last […]
1st Birthday Party for Waylon
~~~ Saturday Evening, June 17 ~~~ It was a beautiful evening for a birthday party at Donovan and Diana’s place. It appeared that it suited most of Diana and Donovan’s immediate family members, plus a few friends. Emmy, whose birthday we celebrated a few weeks ago, isn’t walking yet, but is getting very close – […]
