Our crafty sister is a Blue Ribbon winner for her talent at the State Fair of Virginia.  Way to go Merrie!  With grandson Zachary, who the blanket was made for and granddaughter Madison.  Jennifer and Beverly secretly entered it into the VA State Fair without Merrie knowing about.  What a wonderful daughter and mother-in-law to have done that for her.

Shelley's Sweet 16 Birthday

Great time on Saturday for Shelley's sweet 16.  Lots of good food and fun.  Kids had a blast swimming.  I got to visit with Zachary, Jennifer and Tony's new baby.  I say new but I'm guessing he is coming up on a year soon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi All.  Hope everyone had a great 4th holiday weekend.  We stayed pretty busy, attending the Squirrels baseball game (local team).  Afterwards they gave us the best fireworks display I think we've ever seen.  Sorry, didn't take any pictures as we weren't quite sitting together.

Next, my angora rabbit, Truffles, had babies.  She had 7.  Not having a motherly instinct we ended up with only 3 and that's because we are having to hand feed them.  So cute though.  It'll be about 10 days before they open their eyes. Two red eye whites and one blue seal....appears so.

We then spent Saturday on the James River with Stephanie's family.  Picture this....your sitting in an inter-tube that has two drink holders, one of which is housing an ice cold pepsi.  In my other hand a good piece of Bojangles chicken.  Yep,  Stephanie took great care of us.  She had a separate float that housed a cooler full of sodas and water, another soft side full of chicken and a third soft side with loads of fruit snacks. Will is enjoying his chicken...lol

Putting into the James river, our food float is the green one below.  enjoy the rest of the photos.  I'm the picture taker so the most you get to see of me is my feet...lol

Daniels friend Maggie.  you can see us standing on the rocks in the river when you want to get out, take a swim.  The rocks help you get back in your tube.  The water level was done and you can see the rocks in the water.  They are as big as a hippo, smooth and rounded so it makes it easy to stand on.
