The First of March!

The Redbud trees are already in bloom.

We are going to have one more cold

spell.  Well actually a cool spell.

Now come summer.

The Middle of February 2011

It is the middle of February -- Time to celebrate my Birthday and my two sister's Birthday.  This next weekend is the appointed time.

 

Some thoughts on a New Year.

Today is almost the last day of the first month of the new year.  2011!  I have lived more than half of a century.  I thought at one time that 2000 was the end of the world.  It just goes to show teenagers are not that smart.  Next month I will be 61 years old.  At 20 I thought 60 was as old as I would every like to be.  Now it ain't so bad.  Well just a few thought on an weekend. 

The more things change the more they stay the same.

Have a very Good Year!

I have been thinking about the new year.  I am actually optimistic about the year 2011.  I have spoken to several people and they are optimistic also.  I am going to try to keep the good feelings going.  Have a wonderful year.  May it be the best every.

Happy New Year!

Well the holidays are over.  It is a NEW Year.  Between Christmas and New Year's Day, Tom's Son, Daughter-in-law, and two Grandkids (Owen and Eliana) came to visit. We had a wonderful time.  We went to the Children's Museum, NASA, and the Natural History Museum.  We did it on three separate days.  Here are some pics of the good times.

This butterfly stayed on my hand almost the whole time we were in the butterfly exhibit.  I named him Harold.

Jesus is the Reason for the Season

Well I finished decorating my Tree.  I came out rather nicely.  Christmas Trees do not take good pictures.  Or maybe I don't take good Christmas Tree pictures.  Oh well it is really pretty in person. 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my kit and kin.

I am thankful for you all.

   May your day be full of family friends and food.
