Mr. J

Mr. Happy going to his Sr. project.. He looked very handsome despite the grumpy look. He just started getting a very sore throat. He went to the Dr. and got a shot. (LOL) He is feeling much better.. And very glad the project is over..

Spring

Here are Spring flowers in front of our house and Molly in need of a good clipping.... The Magnolia did very well despite the butch haircut it received a few months ago. During spring our yard looks really nice. Then comes summer and a yellow and brown carpet of grass....

Happy Birthday JJ

This cake was really good. Very rich and moist. mmmm.

Happy 18th birthday to JJ. Can't believe he is that old already. It was the day after Nanci left to go home. I think they lived in Calgary then. Correct me if I am wrong Nanci. It was a Tuesday. Kareem Abdul Jabbar's last NBA game was in Seattle that night. I Remember it well. (just kidding) It was his last game though... Mom and Dad were getting ready for a garage sale. They were moving out of the LaGrande house. I never saw that house again. We brought JJ home to about 6 days later. On a very nice sunny day. Look at my baby now. 6 foot tall and graduating. EEEK

A long way to go...

Here are some pictures of the car the boys are going to race this summer. It's a 1969 Ford Fairlane. Isn't that what it looks like to you? They are doing body work and cleaning everything out of it now. Basically they are starting from scratch. Jeri even helps out. She was sweeping the floor before I could get out there with my camera. She is more than ready for the day she gets to drag race. But according to JJ she never will....

First flickr .

If you click on a picture on the Flickr it will take you a larger picture. Look to the right and click on "view sideshow" . Just had to try it.

More than just trimming..

Well. It was a good thing I got home when I did yesterday or all I would have had left is a stump. The boys just loved cutting the poor thing down. I am not looking at it for a while.. Everyone in town is going to be upset. The ladies drive around just to see the tree bloom. Not this year. JJ got very good in his creations. A piece sign to match the one next to him. Jeri and Molly sat in the car and watched. Good thing we have an air conditioner or we will be very hot this summer.. It'll grow right?

It's a little sideways but you get it... (sorry Sue)

Here is the picture of Sue at the hospital after her fall. It was Monday morning as we all know. She is home now and in bed 99.9% of the time. Hope she gets better really soon. All the flowers in her room keep it cheery and they smell good. Mom goes over every morning to help her through the morning and cook something scrumptious for dinner. Sue thanks everyone for all the good wishes, phone calls and thoughts of her this past week..... We hope she heals really quick..
