March 15th-another teenager in the family!

Doug's 13!
He wanted Pappy to set him up to fly fish, so he's all geared up and ready to reel them in!

When we were very young...


Many hours of fun were shared at this table in our first home.  Playing 42 and sharing meals with the Smiths are among the best memories of those times.  
We lived in Nac. in our first home for 4 years: '64 - '68. 
Nick was our first 'baby' and we spoiled him and loved him. Wayne gave him to me just a few weeks before we married.
Kay and Grant were great friends from our college days, and spent good times with us the first year we were married.
We're sharing Wayne's recliner in our first home. He hasn't been without a recliner since!

First Signs of Spring

When the redbuds begin to bloom,

when the bluebirds begin to pair-up and look for a home,
when yellow jasmine vines, and blooming haw bushes catch your eye,
when the iris flowers open and you have to mow the yard...
It's time to get ready to plant the garden!

This year green beans, hopefully, will climb the trellis 
and treat us to easily picked pods to cook or can.
