My Roses

Patsy, these are my roses--wild ones on
the edge of the meadow...but they are
still pretty.

Patsy's Peonie

Our sermon at church today had one point
that I think is something good. Don't worry
about the past--focus on the future.

Texas Onions

Our friends from Texas sent a photo of
some of their onions. Texas is a good
onion producing state. I wonder if these
are Vidalia?

We may start raising turtles-

With the bad economy...we are thinking of raising
turtles. Maybe the poor will buy them and make
turtle soup...or maybe folks will buy them as
pets. They will be pretty easy to care for and
we will sell them with a hard pen to keep them
in!

Astrid and Siggie will help with the farm, but
Ingrid is not going to be much help. In her
kindergarten memory book there was a picture of
the American flag with the question--why are you
proud to be an American...Ingrid said she loved
America because here you can pick out your own
outfits to wear each day! She is a fashion plate!

Small Pleasures

Eric cooked hamburgers tonight and
we sat in the yard and watched our
girls play. Simple things bring
the greatest pleasure.

Ingrid's Dance Recital

Ingrid's recital is this afternoon. She enjoys
performing and we can't wait to see her in
Fern Gully!

Pot for Mother's Day

Larry asked what I wanted for Mother's
Day and I told him I wanted some pot!
I gave him a choice either a push
lawn mower or pot. I got pot. The push
lawn mowers all have plastic wheels now.
I like things with metal wheels not
plastic. I am enjoying my pot on
Mother's Day!

Ramona and Linda

I went to school with these two 'girls'...
Ramoma Chatterton and Linda Humbard. Linda
married Johnny Gordon who lived at one time
in Grandma Powells apartment. Ramona married
a Wilson. Linda works as an aide at the school
and Ramona works at the court house in Berryville.
I was in the same school with Ramona for 12 years
and with Linda from about 6th grade on. I look
lots different than than all that time ago,
and Linda and Ramona do too.
