Well I am going to start with this action from the weekend ....this toad was a big one and yet this snake ate the whole thing ...the kids were amazed ...a few parents kept their distances ...

Well has many of you know we now have been living in our fifth wheel one year...yes one whole year through all the seasons...and I must say the hardest one for me has been this spring ..see I had a very awesome flower..pond(with fish)...cherry tree and of course the standby apricot tree ..and private backyard...so many people could not believe the backyard ....so today I had the good fortune of being able to go out to Barriere and take in Ivy's beautiful flower beds and boy what a yard she has ...thank you Ivy for the lunch ..the good company ..and a chance to see your yard.....(we are trying to talk Candy and DJ into getting married in her back yard ...now if all you could say a little prayer ..we all could have a great yard wedding set in a beautiful flower garden ).

( and thanks sis ...another thing learned ..love you )

This was posted in a newspaper...my uncle sent it to me and I thought maybe some of you might like to read it ...it is the truth ..for back in my day ..but for today just does not happen.... remeber to click on it to enlarge it.

To my Dad ....and his garden... hope you have a fun day and don't spend it all at the Casino

To Papa and Dad from all the kids and grandkids ..that love you dearly

To Our Son and Dad of two great kids...Jordana and Madison

God took the strength of a mountain
The majesty of a tree
The warmth of a summer sun
The calm of a quiet sea
The generous soul of nature
The comforting arm of night
The power of the eagles flight
The joy of a morning spring
The faith of a mustard seed
The patience of eternity
The depth of a family need
Then God combined these qualities
And then there was nothing more to add
He knew his masterpiece was complete
And so he called it...Dad.

Father's Day ...and here is to all the Dad's & Papa's that make a difference in children's life ....way to go guys

Barry and I had the grandgirls Abi and Hannah spend the night ...well if I can get it upload we have short video of Hannah catching a fish ..and I mean a nice size fish ..she was so cute. Then this morning Papa planned a treasure hunt ...he had gone and hid a treasure for the girls ...they had to go to the other end of the lake ..so Papa allowed each girl to steer the boat...then had fun wiht that. Well I hope I can get the video's up of the fun then had ....they are so cute.

Thanks KimB for paper and elements used

Well on Sunday ..Glen and Patty get out to the lake ..so papa took the girls fishing the weather wasn't the greatest ..but he had them singing and the idea they should be looking for treasure. Abi loves to fish...Hannah and her held on to their fishing rods ...even when it started to rain ..they still wanted to be out on the water. We are going to bring them out for a night or two. Now if the weather will start to be warm and the sun to shine .they can come out.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes, cards, emails and phone calls for me on my B-day

These pictures were taken to show what my daughters and my grandaughters bought me for my birthday ..which was Friday ...they took me shopping ...what fun ...

for me lately I have been really down on myself ..because of my weight gain and the knee that so needs that operation but I can't have till I get a few thing straight out ...

the shopping spree with my girls was a lift up.... they just won't let me pick on myself

My Bare also got me an outfit ...I thank you all for the time and the love ..I love you all more than words can say and special thanks to my SIL Barb for taking the pictures and also for speaking into my life ...yes that right ..
