Family Lunch

Frank, Tom (my brother) and I went to Aunt Thelma's (89) and Uncle Delma's (88) for lunch on August 16th. We both brought food and had a very good visit. I took this picture of the 2 of them after lunch. My cousin Sherry and her husband Tom also came. We had a real good visit.

First Day of school

Bella was excited to go back to school after 12 loooong weeks of summer vacation. Justin willingly walked his big sister into her classroom. We made sure she knew where her desk was and kissed and hugged her goodbye and left her with her teacher and to chit chat with her friends and classmates.
She is in the so called venture class where they get to do more extra stuff than the regular first graders and it is more advance, she has done well last year in kindergarten so we are hoping she will again this year.
Phillip and I just couldn't believe that our little girl is already in first grade, it seemed like yesterday that we were bringing her home in the midst of winter in germany and now she is off making her own destiny.

Peas, please

Friday we picked 4 buckets of peas. This was the first time my brother, Tom, who is now living with us, ever picked peas. It was about 93 degrees outside, so it was a little warm. After picking the peas we of course had to shell them. He was so funny. Tom stayed right there with us shelling peas until midnight but he wouldn't eat any today. He said he never wants to eat peas again. That will change when winter gets here but it sure was funny.

This has been a Great Summer

We had very busy and great summer. 5 of our grandkids got to come visit this year at the same time. I took 2 weeks off work and just played Grandma. It ws lots of fun. Justin is on top of Brooke, then Colton, Bella and Logan. It was so much fun having them all at one time.

We did it!

Frank and I joined the world of blogging. We will have all the happenings from Raccoon Ridge in Yazoo City, MS. Check it out as we progress.
