A LITTLE GIRL ON THE NEXT STREET

I was walking our dog, Doc. He is a big white Sammy. He has long beautiful hair that sways when he walks.

I reached a street where a little girl (about 6 or 7) ran out and asked if she could pet my dog.

Doc is a sweetheart with children and so I said; yes.

She petted him while she talked a blue streak.

She said, You know, I saw some other OLD people yesterday and they were walking a snow dog!!!!!!!

It was my husband and me!

And ...sigh...I thought that I looked so young and cute with my hair in a ponytail and wearing my short golf skirt!!

SOMEONE'S ELSES GRANDCHILDREN

I was in a clothing store trying on clothes this morning.

In the next dressing room, I heard this conversation between a brother and sister. The boy was about 5 and the girl around 9.

Boy, How did you get boobies?

Girl, I got them when I was born.

Boy, well how did you know that you needed boobbies?

Girl, I needed them because I am a Lady!

Boy, O K

FATHERS DAY COOKOUT-SWIM

We had a nice afternoon Father's Day.

We only had a few minor, awful moments.

Michael pushed Lauren under the water causing hysterics.

Caleb (3) fell down and cut his finger. More hysterics as we tried to clean and bandage it.

Jordan almost fell in the pond while naming the new fish. Only a few rocks fell into the water.

Cameron had a drop in blood sugar and got a bit testy. After his shot and something to eat...He was fine.

Christopher made it through the afternoon with blue lips from the cold water and wind.

There was a brew Ha Ha  among the whole gang about who would hold the swimming Koi fish that glides through the water using double A batteries

The hot dogs were good.

The Father's had a good time.

They finally left for home around 6:30 pm. If they hadn't left...

John and I might have gone into hysterics.

A Fun day.... a happy tired.

Fun to see the whole group come and fun to see the whole group leave... until next Sunday afternoon and swim time.

LAUREN AND HER MISSING TEETH

I got this E-mail from my daughter this morning!

Bama   aka   Mary Louise

 

Lauren & Michael bumped heads this morning… and Lauren lost two teeth!

Found one… still looking for the other!  Tan carpet hides teeth very well!  J

 

She was horrified… and wanted them back in… crying hysterically….

but I think she is getting used to it… She FINALLY let me take these pictures!

 

CALEB

Caleb is 3 years old.

He has just found lighting bugs!!!!!

Cameron and Caleb were in the yard and Cameron was catching lighting bugs and putting them in a jar.

Caleb got into the action but was swatting them like his hand was a tennis racket. When they fell to the ground, he would smash them with his feet.

Their Mom, disturbed by this, explained to Caleb that you had to be gentle with the bugs.

He still didn't understand the fine art of catching lighting bugs, putting them in a jar and letting them go! He was into swatting and stomping!

CHRISTOPHER'S QUESTION

The family was driving to a town about 10 miles away.

As they traveled, Christopher's Mom and Dad were talking about getting Jordan a bunny to raise and show at the county  4 H  fair.

Christopher piped up from the back seat and said that he wanted a bunny too.

His Mom told him that he couldn't show a bunny at 4 H because he would have to be in the 4th grade like Jordan to be in 4 H.

Christopher though for a moment and said....

Don't they have a..............3 H ????????
