Collagen injections?

Grandkids are always game for being silly! But this picture borders on being scary, doesn't it??
YIKES!
Coleman watching the game with his daddy. I loved having the kids here last weekend (although it was much too short of a visit) Coleman got to celebrate his birthday with us, and I got some much needed daughter-time and grandbaby-lovin' in. My sweet son-in-law came up and installed a new furnace for us. Holy Cow, what a difference this new one makes. The old one sounded like a 747 taking off in our garage! Thanks David!
We took a ride to Owen Beach where it was cold and windy. Then we drove thru the "enchanted forest", aka Point Defiance park, where grandpa and the kids got out of the car to feed the ducks. Hudson was asleep so Shannon and I stayed in the car and watched as they fed the ducks, geese, and various attack water fowl. It was hilarious watching them running from the birds!

Sweet and guileless

Little children have absolutely no hidden agenda's. My 7 year old granddaughter sent me this picture of "are family", which includes me and Ron and all her new cousins. Such a sweetheart. Thanks Ella!

A Spectacular Saturday

Why does my head look so enormous in this picture? -----> Eesh! Do I really have this big of a head??...anyway, The weather yesterday was magnificent. I could hardly believe it was February! (It is so bright out here that you can't tell my sweater is yellow and grey striped.) We drove down to Owen Beach at Point Defiance Park and walked around. When we have a beautiful day here in Washington, everyone really appreciates it!

Livin' on luv & catfood!

This is what a mid-morning bathroom conversation is like at our house. Me: "Honey, if I die before you, please don't marry just so you'll have someone to clip the hair outta your ears." >thinking for a minute< ..."On second thought, if you ARE going to marry someone after I'm gone, do it just so she'll clip the hair outta your ears." Him: "Don't worry dear, you're going to live to be 90, that means I'll be 95. So no woman is going to want to clip the ear hair out of a 95 year old man. Besides, by then, we'll be livin' on catfood". . ...YESSS! ....I'm tellin' ya, life is good, people!
