  • GOLFING --

    Our grandson, Levi, starts back to school next week (second grade) and asked if we could go
    miniature golfing on this his last Thursday with us before school.

    He shot a hole-in-one and won the match against his Grammy and Grampy!!

    He's going to be a "big brother" in February giving us a third grandchild -- exciting times!!

  • Ruby --

    Our granddaughter, Ruby, was thrilled to sit behind the controls of a Blackhawk helicopter
    yesterday at an air show in her area.
    (I guess she'll have to learn to fly by instruments since she can't see out the windshield!)

    Most of you remember our micro-preemie (l lb, 8 oz) -- she'll be seven years old in September and
    going into first grade.

    These helicopters are equipped with electronics at Lockheed Martin in our area.

  • SHARP-SHINNED HAWK

    We've had a Sharp-shinned hawk and a Coopers Hawk hanging around the feeders
    and today this Sharp-shinned hung around for quite a while and even chased a Chickadee
    into the spruce tree (he didn't catch the Chickadee!) --

  • Forty-five years ago today we stood before God, family
    and friends and pledged to become “one” for better, for worse,
    for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health until death
    parted us. Our life together has had its ups and downs,
    good times and hard times, but they’ve made the bond stronger.
    We’ve been blessed with three beautiful children, two wonderful
    In-law children, and six years ago our two grandchildren were born
    and they’re the best! Looking forward to the years ahead to see
    what God has in store for us and our family.
    Happy Anniversary Bob! I love you!
