Life in smalltown USA…

 

Just good old-fashioned fun…climbing trees, running, bicycling…

Mother and Daughter duo decked out for trick or treating…

and best of all…ice cream …

Other shots from the USA and beyond can be found at Little Red House…

Some “Halloweenies”…

 

We had so much fun today partying with the grandkids…guess which two belong to us!!

 

 

This is such a diverse group of photos…but they were made within a couple of hours in Monteagle, Tn. Mothers, daughters, sons, cousins and various in-laws gathered to have a wonderful time for a short time. We forgot about the state of the world, the economy, family difficulties and everything for a short time and all of us slipped back into a happier time, together….Wishing each of you that same special feeling we had today!!!

My “Other” Home…

How’s this for Curb Appeal Tootsie??? Anybody want to help me landscape tonight??? Lots of dead stuff and some funny lookin 6X3 ft. holes??? Anybody seen my cat???

Oh, Tootsie, don’t get your shoes dirty helping me, I’ll let you wear a pair of these…

Got those shoes on Toots… follow me past the pet’s pen….sshhhh…he doesn’t like to be disturbed…

Put your shoes on the porch, Tootsie, don’t want the dogs chewin on em’…

Aren’t ya glad you changed shoes girl, since we have to cross over the lil fish pond thingy…

Aren’t ya glad we “freshened up” before starting this landscaping job???

We’ll have to spread these out in order to get us some “color”…

Tootsie, careful, remember our “pets”…

Oh, there’s my little kitty…Tootsie, Tootsie, Tooootttsssieeeeeeeeeeeeeee, where are ya???? We’ve got work to do!!!

 

I guess you can find Tootsie here since she’s not helping me anymore!!!

Good bye…

I recently attended a small meeting of alumni from my high school. We were planning an alumni event for our county-wide high school. It was a fun meeting and we got to visit with some friends that we hadn’t seen for many years.

Gregg, Linda and myself…

Dianne (Linda’s sister) and Russ…

Wayne, Richard  and Vernie…

Vernie, our friend and former classmate died four days later and was buried today…

How sad we have been… how lonely,

how lucky…to have known and enjoyed a good friend,

thank you God…for giving us this friend for the years that were too short for us but just right for you.

Help us understand.

Scary and Ghostly …
