The Weekend

We had a beautiful weekend here. Gordon and Marilyn arrived from their winter travels. They will be heading home next Monday after the reunion weekend. (Psssttt.....this young man turned 70 yesterday!) A couple of brothers.
Basketball Jones here. It is really impressive the amount of time this kid spends shooting baskets. In fact, when we head out to the bus stop at 6:30 in the morning, he has to pick up the ball and shoot until he makes a basket. Sometimes it's one shot, sometimes 3-4.

The "Three Little Kids" Grow Up

Pasties anyone? I am making pasties today. If any one local would like to order any, I have some extra today. (they are $3.50 each) Just give me a call.Dad, Jean and Linda were always "the three little kids". I guess to their older siblings, they always will be. This is one of Sharyn's fine pictures.

Hanging Out on a Sunday Night

Dad was busy cutting down trees Saturday with his new chainsaw while I was on my sisters trip. This choke cherry tree had died and several of the white pines down the property line. He left the trunk with my clothesline pole attached. Now I can finally hang clothes again (once I get some new clothesline) as the birds use to roost in that tree eating the berries and would get "droppings" on my clothes. I actually ruined a couple things as I couldn't get that stain out.The kids (big) had a cookout going when I arrived home from Wisconsin. I guess Dad had quite a fire going Saturday night with all the brush. Now we have a nice pile of firewood for summer evening bonfires.
I'm not sure what everyone was checking out here at the pond.

Molly kept tapping Danny with her foot and he was freaking out that he was going to fall. I think he felt like he was up too high.

Monday Night Baseball

Danny loves Monday Night Baseball. He usually picks up some dirt and rubs it in his hand before he picks up the bat. Not sure where he's seen that. Then he always (!) slides into first. (Bottom left picture) Or I should say, tries to slide. It doesn't matter if there is no play at first, he slides anyway. He comes home quite dusty.

Sisters Weekend

We had a wonderful fun weekend! This is where we stayed. On the top floor! It's a nice place to stay since it has "forced" exercise! No elevator. Although if we go back, we'll stay somewhere else as we sometimes forget our mother is 75! Althought she did manage the stairs just fine! It was in Elkhart Lake Wisconsin. A cute little tourist town.We went once again to Sal's for dinner Saturday night. I had delicious prime rib. The owner took this picture of us.

We celebrated Grandma's 75th birthday Friday night. She opened 75 presents. It was very fun and she got some neat stuff. She was shocked!
We also had a baby shower for Sarah Saturday night. She also got some neat stuff. Actually we collected for a gift card but brought some joke baby gifts. Karen made the diaper cake. We took LOTS of pictures of our skinniest sister, Tricia. (In fact, she brought a box of her old clothes that no longer fit her and us slightly bigger sisters fought over them!)

Kites=Spring? Lets Hope So!

Gretchen was trying her hand at kite flying yesterday. I almost believe Spring is here for real!
I'll be meeting my sisters and Mom in Wisconsin this weekend. Am so excited!!! We have lots of fun stuff planned. Have reservations for dinner Friday and Saturday. (The most important thing!) I'm looking forward to a great weekend of R & R and lots of laughs. (I do have some witty sisters!) Will post pictures when I get back. Have a great weekend!
