Still working on the 1.000 pictures -Meanwhile....

Picking up Jenny and Angie from airport. Home from Maui, HI. Golden brown and in shape (exercised each morning) and tired from long flight and time change.

Maybe he's saying his first prayer? Or looking for the thumb?

I guess it was his thumb because he found it and started to fall asleep until I flashed the camera with the red eye warning flashing first.

8 Random Things

OK I've opened my big mouth and asked to be included in the 8 random things you don't know about me. Now what was I thinking. I'm not sure I have anything interesting enough to tell but I'll give it a try. For those of you that don't know, my daughter tagged me (because I complained about not being included in the list) meaning that I have to tell 8 things people don't know about me. Most poeple know everything about me because I'm so old, people just find out stuff.
1. I've made chocolate chip cookie dough and never baked it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Once. I sort of had a tummy ache. Also I'd do it again but I really know it's not good for me.
2. I took a piece of 1 cent bubble gum when I was younger and got caught in the store with a long line behind me. That moment has stayed with me all my life.
3. I talked to myself in the mirror. Sometimes my image answers me. ( that was me saying what I would think the other person would say) I would practice saying things that I know people would ask me. Weird I know. Especially when it never worked out like I practiced. I don't do that anymore. ha. It's been years. Hang up the phone now, I'm OK.
4. I sing and dance in the house when no one is here. If only the dogs could talk.
5. I was sort of a hippy for about a year.
6. I'd rather get a new computer or gadget than a diamond or jewelry.
7. I love history.
8. I love Survivor. The reality TV show.

We're BACK!

I'll get this updated as soon as I can upload all the pictures. We had a great time but are very happy to be back in the USA. More later.

Kodak Moments Found and Some Lost

She's a winner in our eyes. 2- 1/2 miles run/ 8 laps of swimming / 2- 1/2 run. Jenny and Elizabeth come in 1st and 2nd to me. Elizabeth (trainer) who could have made it sooner stayed with her trainee (Jenny). You did a wonderful job Elizabeth. So humble, so selfless.

Jenny in the third lane with arm out of the water. Beautiful swimmer. They ran/swam/ran.

1. Missed a Kodak moment when Knocke's, Kruger's, May's, and Tootle's went to Chris Madrid's for a hamburger in the middle of Erin (the tropical storm) raining, flooding all over town, warning's out and many road closings. BUT WHEN THE IDEA OF A CHRIS MADRID'S HAMBURGER BEGINS TO BUILD UP WITHIN YOU, ONE HAS TO GO. Come H___ or High Water. Blog photo missed! Only a San Antonioian or a Chris Madrid hamburger fan would understand why we had to do it. (Sorry Stac-I know you will have a hard time reading this as you are many miles away and this will probably get that watery taste in your mouth for a CM hamburger.) Your first stop when you come home. I promise.





2. Five of Cynde's friends took her dinner on her second night in her new house. We did it in the middle of the tropical storm as well. That was a picture to have but "no camera". I said, " Blog photo missed"





3. Lost in downtown San Antonio. Chesley was taking us to a new resturant and we didn't find it until we already settled for another one. When we did finally find it, no cars were there and it didn't look to great. But he kept saying, "But THEY (whomever they are) said it was like home cooking" Well he'll have to find out himself, I'm sticking to the old tried and true resturants.

Weekend at the May's

Ryan watching Fox news with Nama.

Yes, you guessed it, it RAINED on Sunday.

I asked "What's a dog to do?" Here is the answer. When dad is home they don't have a problem.

Watching the dogs fight over Bozo. It was a rainy day dog activity.

Teaching Ryan to say Nama.

Snack time with Malyn and Nama.

Sister's, staying connected. Jessica/Ryan and Malyn/Stacy talking on the web cam.

Yard Man May

Never a dull moment around here. It's always something.

This is one of all the sprinkler heads that got covered up with the rapid growing grass when we had all that rain.

No more tomatoes. Pulled up the decayed ones and got it all ready for next year, hoping for less rain.

My precious little Malyn Grace. She just got a haircut. She looks just like her mommy.

I am conducting the Mozart baby Einstein movie. Maddie always stays close by my side.

Can I just be two and half months old Nama?? I'll stand when I'm ready.

Ryan playing with Nama's million's of stuffed animals. He is so excited about all his new friends, can't you tell?.

This is Mattie Sue in her new floatie bathing suit. She jumps in and bobs around. I like this much better then the floaties on the arms. Mattie Sue sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to Mitzi the other day on the phone. Then she sang the ABC song. She's a star, what can I say.
