The Two Newest Grandkids

Hi, Everyone! I just had to copy this picture from Liz's blog. It is of our newest grandchildren--Owen Philip (Ben & Sara's son) and Rachel Elizabeth (John and Sarah's daughter). Aren't they cute?

Halloween from the Past...Oooohhhhh!!

I remember being so busy with my little "tribe". So busy, that on Halloween we would get a big black garbage bag and put it on the kids as a cape, draw a moustache on and call it good. Then I started to try a little bit harder by sewing some costumes and got clever, too, and borrowed some. Here is a picture of the kids when there were four--Sam (Dracula), Liz (Nurse), Sarah (Strawberry Shortcake) and Ben (Batman). It was fun to make all those costumes and I really miss those days. That's why grandchildren are so great!

Remember When?

This is a new section on our blog that may arouse nostalgia on the part of you baby-boomers. We baby-boomers reminisce about the way it used to be and how much more simple life was way back then. Well, the reason it was so much more simple and blissful is because we were the children then. I hope you enjoy these pictures from my past. My how things have changed. I was so excited to go to school in my new outfit. The next picture is of my sisters and I--Sherry, Marla and Patty. Can you tell which is which?

Winter is on its Way

Yes, Winter is on its way here in Idaho. It seems so bleak out there. The election is almost over and we all will be glad when we can buckle down under the new President. I thought it would be great to write in Phil, but that wasn't practical, so I voted for the the one I could feel the best about.
