Michigan Reunion 2010

The reunion in Michigan was held on July 31, it rained all morning but by the bell time it had quit. I was a great day with lots of great food and wonderful desserts. they held anothe auction to raise money for expenses. Briggs was the auctineer and raised 400.00 dollars. Since he is the oldest grandson, he can harrass his cousin into buying more stuff for more money. It is more fun than just taking up a collection. Our house as we drive by in the old car parade.

Tennessee

Even though I am totally against smoking, I was facinated by the fields of tobacco that we have growing all around us here in Tenn. I keep watching for how they cut it and process it is the drying sheds. It doesn't smell in the fields, but the leaves feel kind of greasy. I hope to find someone at one of the sheds and see if they will let me look in.

Michigan

It has been a long time since I posted on my blog, I have been a very busy grandma, this past year. Have been to 4 grandkids birthdays and to visit with Briggs in Tn. and now I am in Michigan taking care of our place and really enjoying our home. Just wish Briggs could be here too. He will retire from the union on the last of this month, but will continue to work for this job in Tn. It is good work and he really likes it. Don't know what we will do when it is finished and not sure when that will be. But I will continue to stay with him except short visits to Mi. And then when April and Paul travel to China to get Logan, I will go and stay with Sophie. And yes they are finally getting their child from china, and it is a little boy, he is around 3 years of age and a real cutie as you can see.

Sophie and Maw Susan

Bluebonnets and a Rose

Took Sophie for a photo shoot with
some Texas bluebonnets. Maw Susan picked her a beautiful rose to hold. It was fun. She was so cute.

Kalyn turns 1

Well it is time to update. Kalyn has turned 1 and had a great party, she was so cute in her ladybug tutu.

Kalyn in her walker that Maw Susan had to hunt and hunt for...Took her about 10 minutes and she had it mastered. Of course she loves to chase down her big brother and the dog.

Maya's 5th

More pictures of my beautiful grand children..First one is Maya and her Mommy waiting for Chuckie Cheese to come out, she wasn't quite sure of him. Next is Lessy and Grandma Judy and Aunt Liz, then it is Levi making sure that Maya gets the candles on just right. The kids had fun, but the adults all got headaches from the noise.
