A Thing of the Past

When we went to Pat's Pizza recently after a football game, my son being a fan of vintage cars and such eyed the old jukeboxes at each table. As he excitedly flipped through the titles for the perfect song, his mother rooted through her purse for a quarter. Being observant, the waitress appeared reporting the sad news, "Oh those haven't worked for a long, long time." I suppose one day the i-pod will become vintage and excite some young tike. Just think of that.

Baby and Me

There is something comforting about the change of season and falling into an easy night-time routine of reading. Can you think of anything sweeter than a young one reading to her baby doll?

Two in One

This was an interesting discovery at the apple orchard. At least I thought so, but my daughter thought that I was making a ridiculous spectacle in my examination of this apple. Have you EVER seen one?????!!!!! Probably not, so I am justified in my wonder!

Family Traditions

It's apple picking time! I can't believe that it is that time of year again (so soon)! As we prepare to transition from one season to another, it is comforting to rely on the familiar family traditions....and of course Apple Crisp with French Vanilla ice cream. Now that's comforting!!!

Our New Baby

We welcome Ozzie to our family.

"Bud"

In the previous blog I believe I spoke about my mother and her individualism. Now here is a girl, my daughter who is appropriately named after her grandmother.

A Tradition

The old time country fair on Labor Day weekend is a tradition that our nearly now adult children insist upon. Each year we exchange family tales of bygone years of fair going. How my mother loved this event. To be sure "grammy stories" were predominately weaved through our afternoon bringing laughter and smiles. How I miss her and the zest she had for adventure and individualism. She taught us well.
