Happy Father’s Day to Dad and Pop-Pop…

School is out and so are Ross’s braces.  We’ve finished our “freshman” years at high and middle school respectively, and are looking forward to being “upperclassmen” when the fall term begins.

Our pool is now open for the summer and we have been making good use of it.  Granny’s dog Piggy also enjoys the pool.  She likes to drop her tennis ball into the pool and bark until someone retrieves it and throws it for her to chase after.

See you next month...

April 2012

The first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 364 days of the year.  Let us be thankful for the fools.  But for them the rest of us could not succeed. — Mark Twain

Bunny BreadNot much new this month.  The weather is back to normal.  More like a typical Spring now rather than the Summer-like weather that we had in March. 

Granny, Pop-Pop and the dogs came to visit on Easter Sunday.  Granny brought her usual Easter Baskets filled with way too much candy (according to Mom, not us!).  And Bunny Bread showed up again on this year’s Easter Dinner table.  Looks like it’s becoming a tradition! 

See you next month...
