FRIDAY NIGHT FUN!

LOVE AND UNITY = FAB FAMILY, GOOD FOOD, A HEALING BOO-BOO & an unrevealed surprise!

A place filled with many fun memories of laughter and yummy food!

An old pic from back in the day!

Still not open in April 5, 2026. Glad we kept trying!

Jarrett House employees tried to find help for my "boo-boo" from their first aid kit but they accepted my rolled up sock of ice without criticism.

Grandboys rocking w/ Grandmother as their mom, who is a real photographer, took the pic! 

Love and respect are a part of married life, regardless of the number of years. (Ephesians 5:33)

RESULT---a good time was had by all 6 of us from age 8 to almost 80!

Just One More Chapter!

Read it on Goldie's shirt as she reads sprawled on the porch!

Readers in S's prayer chair.

Readers on the floor in the bookstore.

Readers in the grass. 

Readers in a library. 

Readers old and young together, in NYC, no less.

Readers together in bed.

Reading. Reading. Everywhere.

Granddaughters after my own heart through the years.

Just One More Chapter!

GOOD SATURDAY MORNING..........

...........from grandson, Caleb!

His morning text woven with words of love and a picture of God's morning sunrise...... 

..........A beautiful way to begin my day!

BIGFOOT SEARCH PARTY!

A true search to look for clues to see if BIGFOOT is REAL!

The hunt begins with bag to hold clues found, binoculars, a magnifying glass and a whistle to alert the leader when a clue was discovered.

Then he appears! Is he real or not?

Check the feet and decide!

Check the nails if you're not sure!

Hmmm....some are not afraid but others not so sure!

A big thanks to Poppy for the best pix......

......and Molly who carried it over to Father's Day 2026!

HOORAY! HOORAY!!......TODAY'S THE DAY...

JLK....our youngest  grandson is 8 today!

The celebration began with a song from his grandparents and a Star Wars Secrets of the Troopers book from Amber and playing with his chickens!

Continuing soon to celebrate with Jack who is 8!@ Deep Creek pavilion to eat pizza and cake.

TUESDAY TREAT!

What a treat!

When one's youngest grand receives a special stuffed animal from her dad's recent Bahama's trip, she is all smiles!

When granddaughter chooses to name her "piggie" Dotsy after her grandmother, Grandmother is all smiles!

Grandchildren are the crown of the aged. (Proverbs 17:6)

Truely a Tuesday treat for this grandmother!

UNSTOPPABLE GOSPEL!

What a blessing.....a grandson behind the pulpit. A passing of the mantle of sorts as his father, Pastor Buddy, listened from the audience. 

Just click below the picture to hear Nathan's message at Allen Bible Church.......

Unstoppable Gospel

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IT59iJhI3ec&t=1441s

A FEW REFLECTIONS:

• Be emboldened by truth.
• Expect opposition. 
• Be willing to be a witness for Christ (as Stephen was)
• Pain and suffering can be a catalyst for spreading God's truth as both Stephen and Jesus did.
• Fix your eyes on Jesus.
• I seek not a long life but a full life, like you Lord Jesus. (Jim Elliott, missionary) 
• The gospel is unstoppable.
• Stand for Jesus

Amen Affirmation.....0pposition cannot stop God's Gospel!

A BUNCH OF BOYS!

Give it up AI---"Grandboy" is a colloquial term, primarily used in the Southern US, & that's where we reside. The male grands in our family number 7 and to us they are our "grand boys". 

A trainload!

Pizza anyone?

Dinosaur lesson at the Bakery breakfast! Youngest teaching older ones.

Tubing Deep Creek in ice cold water.

Followed by dinner at Anthony's

Topping the Day off with a trip to The Chocolate Shoppe!

Our 2 grandgirls are on Long Island. All the grandchildren are dear to our heart but the girls are not with us this week!. They are truly blessing my heart by reading together!

• Grandchildren are the crown of the elderly, and the glory of children is their parents. (CEB)
• Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers. (KJV)
• Old people are distinguished by grandchildren; children take pride in their parents. (MSG)
• Grandchildren are the crown of the old, And the glory of sons is their fathers. (NASB)

No matter what version is used in Scripture, it's a truth celebrated at our house!  

A STAR IS BORN!

All performers have to begin somewhere!

For our youngest grandson it started on the yellow brick road.

Think......WIZARD OF OZ. A county high school production that needed a few kindergarteners as munchkins!

Ready to go..........

We welcome you to Munchkin Land!

Even if the loud nose hurt this ears, he remembered the hand motions with one hand while his other hand covered his sensitive ear----and kept dancing as well. 

For the "show must go on" as this budding "star" learned!

He even learned it kept going on two more times......in the same clothes no less.
