Sophie and her Baby Ross

We are Family...
Just me and my baby Rosser...

Auntie Sarah this post is for you.... You have asked and asked so kindly for pictures all summer and I have not taken the time. My darling friend you are the opposite of me, you send birthday cards on time and thank you cards and do things in return so quickly. Me, I am the putter, who really knows when your birthday is 12/9 but I seem to forget to call that day. I want you to know, I appreciate everything you do for me and my family.. You are a great friend and god has blessed me with your sisterhood. Like the time we went on vacation together and everyone asked us if we were twins, yep you are the one who remembers and me the one who always forgets and has an excuse. LOL

Special Treat

Summer is quickly coming to an end... Sophia will start pre-school soon, grandma is heading home tomorrow and gymnastics start tomorrow evening. It has been a pleasant summer, I am actually ready for fall.. Sophie was running around in her previous Halloween costumes today, so I take it she is ready also. I am excited to state, I have a few more summer pics to upload and I will be caught up.

On to the surprise, my grandma's counsin lives close to us in KY. While granny was visting, she was able to come for lunch this week. They have not seen each other since 1996 so it was nice to listen to stories and catch up. I will try to post more this week. Some of you might not know, but I am babysitting a great little girl a few days a week. Her and Sophie get along nicely and it seems everyone is enjoying themselves. Have a good evening...

I have not had a chance to down load the rest of July and August pictures. Stay tuned

In closing the sorrow of the summer was when my uncle Russ passed away. Suddenly I feel as if I am getting older and when it used to be 75 of us now it maybe only 30... It seems as if in a moment life shifts. So in honor of you Russ here it is...

Every time I drive past a pond, I think of you...

when I see fish coming to the top of the pond at Falls, I feel your presence.

When I hear someone talking about poker, I think of you and Al and giggle..

I was lucky to call you my uncle and have dolly furniture that was hand made by you..

Thank you for the love and memories...

Your niece...
