My sweet daughter has taken more photos of our house that is being built. It's hard to tell you my favorite parts, but I have tried to count the number of shelves in the kitchen. I think there are 42! That's not counting the ones in the pantry.

Texas Bluebonnets

While I was up north with family, I took this photo of some bluebonnets. I wish I had been able to get a photo of some downy paintbrushes. They were so many, and they were so beautiful. We don't have them in this part of Texas. The bluebonnets in

I went by our new house yesterday. They have almost finished bricking the outside. All that is left is the space over the front door and the back right corner. The builder is building a spec house to the right of us, which was started just before

What I Slept With Last Week

Sunday, 15 April 2007 6:00 P GMT-06
I spent this past week with my daughter and her family. My two granddaughters took turns sleeping with me. They don't kick or move all over the bed, so I slept just fine. Here is something else that I slept with.

I'm visiting with my granddaughters this week. Oh, yeah, and their parents and my son too! Anyway, I've been busy. I've gone here and there. I checked out an antique mall, which was huge. I spent an hour there. I went to a

Only A Few

I could post all sorts of photos of Amy when she was a baby. If I did, the whole Internet would crash! Below are three. The first one is her birth announcement. My sister Dottie designed and made them. She has always been creative.

Birth of a Beautiful Baby

Wednesday, 4 April 2007 6:39 A GMT-06
In March 1972, my twin sister Dottie came to Germany and stayed with us until August. It was nice having her there, especially when my baby was born. Since there was only a clinic at Baumholder, we had to travel to the 56th U.S. Army General Hospital
