Long Ago and Far Away

Working with my pictures this evening I ran across this one.  It's my Grandma, Mother, and in front is Jennie, my sister, Lady, and me.  Everybody looks so young, Grandma is gone, Jennie is gone, Lady is gone and Mother and I remain.  Looking back into the past always brings out the nostalgia.       Diane

Happy Birthday 4 Times

 We went to Billings, Montana today to celebrate our four October birthdays.  Godfather's Pizza graciously allowed us to sit and visit a while and the pizza was delicious.  This is everybody except me - starting on the left Cathy, her daughter * Lindsay, Tatum, behind Tatum is Hannah, across the table coming down - *K.C. our grandson, his monther - Leonard's daughter Rose, * Leonard, Perry (Cathy's husband) and *Don, Rose's husband.  * indicates birthday child. 

 Lindsay, my oldest granddaughter and Tatum (refusing to smile) Hannah is still behind Tatum.  She works at Target and got to run over and join us on her lunch hour (note the tee shirt with targets on it)

And here's Mr. Cheeseburger himself, still refusing to smile for me - he did have a lot of fun. 

Gratitude - Family Diane    Oops! I almost forgot Lili, Rose and Don's daughter, here she and Tatum are in the game room

Really Good Treasures

Heidi was joking about dumpster diving today. For some reason it reminded me of a story about my mother and my, at the time, little nephew, Scotty. Mother never could pass up something laying in the middle of the road. She just had to stop the car, get out and see if it was something useful. Scotty was about 3 at the time and there was a cushion on the street. Mother pulled over to check it out but Scotty said, "wait a minute, Grandma, it's my turn." Diane
