This just in!

These photos are hot off the e-mailbox:


Apparently Wesley loves his boots. When Eric was about this age, he had cowboy boots that he utterly adored. He lobbied for them, and once he got them, he wanted to wear them 24/7, even in bed, and even after the soles were flapping. Sadly, I eventually had to sneak them off to the dumpster in the dark of night. When I have time to go hunting through the photo albums, I'll scan a photo of Eric in his boots. Don't hold your breath, though.

Talon is a newly-minted soccer player. Today he scored his first goal!

Good Times in the Oldest City

Last year just about this time, Uncle Don and Arlene came to visit. Michael and Sandy still lived only a few states away, and Alex was living with them. We all got together in St. Augustine. The lunch was good; the company was better. This is one of my favorite photos. I like it so much that I have an 8x10, framed.

First post

I've been thinking about a personal blog for a while, a place that is not MySpace or Facebook, where I could post the cute grandson photos, etc., and perhaps actually stay in touch with my far-flung family -- except for Uncle Don and Arlene, who know what a computer looks like, but that's as far as they're willing to go with the concept.

First problem: I have no time for this.

Second problem: I can't think of a name for this blog. See first problem.

Third problem: There are no names left. My first EIGHT choices for the URL were unavailable. I was actually kidding with http://lastoneinisarottenegg.blogspot.com/, and after I typed it in, I thought I had wormed myself out of Blogger, but instead it had already established that URL for the blog. Also, see second problem and first problem.

More later, when I solve the first problem. For now, here's a cute grandson photo of Aiden.
