OUR GREAT GRANDSON

OUR NEW BABY

What a great grandson! Beautiful baby and we are so proud of him. A new baby in the family is very special and I even forget my own aches and troubles when I look at him.





PROUD DAD






GREAT GREAT GREAT GRANDPATENTS

Yesterday we got word that our first great grandchild was born in Mesa, Arizona. Little Jack Cameron Ferrin was born to Cecia and Cameron Ferrin early yesterday morning. For many years we have answered folks question "How many great grandchildren do your have?" with the answer "All of them are great and we are certainly GREAT grandparents!!! Well yesterday we can truly tell them we are great grandparents to one little "Monkey" ( i.e. all our grandchildren are monkeys).

Well today I woke up and began to consider all my aches and pains and the total ageing process that is taking place with me. Yesterday I went to make the arrangements for my cateract surgery next month. I started to ponder upon my arthritis, macular degeneration, plumbing problems, diabetes, and then the topper I realized fully that .....I AM A GREAT GRANDFATHER!!! What you may ask was my reaction to all this pondering.?........

NITE NITE GRANMA KATE

NITE NITE GRAMMA KATE

Every afternoon when Grandma Bob puts the worm down for his nap they pass Grandma Kate's picture and he has to say, "Nite Nite Gramma Kate". Today we took him with us to the cemetery to clean up the graves for memorial day. When we got there we explained that this is where Grandma Kate was sleeping. He was a very big help in cleaning the graves and watering the headstones to wash them off. As we left there was a farewell "Nite Nite Gramma Kate"!!

What a worm!

A LESSON LEARNED

TODAY'S WORM STORY


Today's question, "What not to give a 2 year old?". The answer: Chocolate ice cream without a ten foot tarp on the floor, a raincoat, and a lot of patience and humor. The worm has learned what ice cream is all about. So have we! Love the Worm!!
