Be Careful When Opening Garage Doors

I happened to be in the garage throwing something in the trash can when Alan got home. He didn't know I was in the garage. He opened the garage door and a snake fell from the door! I started yelling "snake...snake" (gosh I hate those suckers)! Alan went in the back door, got the shovel and the broom, found the snake (a black snake about 18inches long), killed it with the shovel, scooped it up and threw it away!

If I hadn't been in the garage when he opened the door, that slimy thing would have made a home inside my garage!

Double Special Day

Today is a double special day. My mom is celebrating her 86th birthday and my grandson Brandon has a birthday too! Happy Birthday to each of you. You are loved very much!

Big Day

Yep, it's the Big Day today. My twin sister is 56 years old! HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARLENE! Love ya

Thinking of my brother

Today would have been my brother Darrel's birthday. Had he lived, he would have been 60 years old. There really isn't a day that I don't think of him in some way, but especially today.

Can't imagine what he would have looked like at 60 since he will forever be 53 in my mind.

So Darrel, while you are missed by so many, you are never forgotten!

Another Good Day

Went to the City this morning and picked up two of my granddaughters and brought them home with me for a visit. I just love it when the grandkids come! The girls like helping Grandpa. We've been on the 4-wheeler and have been to For Scott already today! Wait till their mom sees what the girls picked out at the store! (Sorry Debbie) At least it doesn't stick to stuff!!!

Home

Had a wonderful time on vacation. Alaska was having record breaking heat while we were there and it was hot! We did get to see several glaciers...just breathtaking!!
Got really up close with some of the ice!
