IT'S US

WISHING YOU

A HAPPY EASTER!

ROCKFORD, THE DOG, IS SAYING TO ALL OF US,
"SMILE"!

 WE ALL MET AT THE RIANDA'S FOR A DAY

FULL OF FUN.

YOUR NEVER TOO OLD FOR AN EASTER EGG HUNT.

A FEW YEARS BACK, SYDNEY WAS LOOKING FOR EGGS IN THIS SAME SPOT, WITH THOSE SAME BARE FEET, FELL INTO THE ROSE BUSHES AND HER FEET WERE FULL OF THORNS.  GUESS IT MUST NOT HAVE HURT TOO MUCH, SHE SEEMS TO HAVE FORGOTTEN ALL ABOUT IT.

KEEP HUNTING!

US ADULTS ENJOY THE SUNSHINE
WHILE WATCHING THE KIDS HUNT.

ROCKFORD JOINED IN THE FUN,
FINDING JUST AS MANY EGGS AS THE REST.

WHEN THE EGGS WERE ALL FOUND,
SYD ENJOYED BLOWING BUBBLES.

 PAPA'S STILL CELEBRATING HIS BIRTHDAY.

HE MAY JUST CELEBRATE ALL YEAR LONG.

SEE ROCKFORD'S SMILE?
WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE IS THE FROSTING ON ROCKFORD'S SMILE.
HE ENJOYED ONE CORNER OF THE CAKE'S FROSTING
BEFORE ANY OF THE REST OF US GOT TO IT.

EVERYONE ENJOYED THE DAY,

THE CANDY,

AND THE FUN IN THE SUN!

 NOTE ABBEY ON THE FAR RIGHT, PREGNANT WITH OUR VERY FIRST GREAT GRANDBABY.  FROM THE KICKING THAT LITTLE GIRL WAS DOING TODAY, I'D SAY SHE CAN HARDLY WAIT TO JOIN IN THE FUN.  WE CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR THAT DAY TOO!

 I LOVE THIS PICTURE!
EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE OBLIVIOUS TO THEIR PICTURE BEING TAKEN
EXCEPT FOR OLIVIA
WHO'S STICKING HER TONGUE OUT AT THE CAMERA.
MAYBE AUNT BETTY AND PAPA KNOW THE PICTURE IS BEING TAKEN TOO,
BUT AT LEAST, NO TONGUES OUT FOR THEM.

ANOTHER GREAT EASTER, RIANDAS!
KEEP THIS UP AND WE'LL BE THERE EVERY EASTER.
OH THAT'S RIGHT WE ALREADY ARE, AREN'T WE?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATHLEEN!

SHE'S NOT THREE QUARTER'S OF A CENTURY YET,
BUT TODAY SHE CATCHES UP WITH ME!
WE WON'T MENTION HOW OLD THAT IS.

THIS DARLING ONE YEAR OLD

 TURNED THREE QUARTERS OF A CENTURY OLD TODAY.

TODAY WAS DARYL'S BIRTHDAY, AND WE VENTURED OVER TO HALF MOON BAY.  BRITTNEY JOINED US FOR LUNCH AND A WALK ALONG THE OCEAN, WHICH MADE THE CELEBRATION EVEN BETTER.  WE GOT SO BUSY VISITING THAT I FORGOT TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THE "BIRTHDAY BOY".   

 BUT I DID GET A PICTURE OF THE EASTER HORSE!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARYL!

YOUR NEXT GOAL,
HITTING THAT CENTURY BIRTHDAY!!!

!

LIFE IS FULL OF SURPRISES

THIS ONE ARRIVED IN THE MAIL TODAY.

AREN'T THESE THE CUTEST SOCKS EVER!!!
AND THE PEEPS,
YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE THEM.
ONE BOX ALREADY DEVOURED,
AND I'M ABOUT TO ATTACK THE OTHER.
THANKS BETTY
 FOR THE FUN AND YUMMY SURPRISE!

EASIER

THE SECOND TIME AROUND!

DARYL HAD THIS TABLE TOGETHER IN NO TIME,
AND WITHOUT ANY SWEARING
I MIGHT ADD.

IS THAT A GOLF CLUB I SEE IN THE CORNER?
IT SURE IS!  THAT'S WHERE HE STORES HIS EQUIPMENT
FOR PUTTING PRACTICE.

WHAT FUN!

AFTER PUTTING THIS COFFEE TABLE TOGETHER YESTERDAY,

I DON'T THINK DARYL WOULD AGREE.

YOU KNOW THAT IKEA DISPOSABLE FURNITURE,

A MILLION BOLTS, SCREWS, AND PEGS LATER- - -

YOU END UP WITH THIS FUN COFFEE TABLE,
TO DECORATE FOR EVERY OCCASION.

AND THE BEST PART,
THERE'S A MATCHING END TABLE
TO BE PUT TOGETHER THIS AFTERNOON.
THINK I'LL LEAVE DARYL HERE DOING THAT
WHILE I GO SHOPPING FOR A NEW RUG.
ONE THING LEADS TO ANOTHER!

AN INTERESTING FACT

I SEEM TO DO MOST OF MY KNITTING

WHILE ON THE ROAD TO GRANDKID'S EVENTS.

NOT BAD FOR TWO EVENTS, HUH?
BUT THAT'S NOT 
THE INTERESTING FACT.

ON OUR WAY TO THE SWIM MEET TODAY, THE RADIO WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW YOU SHOULDN'T KNIT IF YOU'RE A PASSENGER SITTING IN THE FRONT SEAT OF A CAR THAT HAS AIR BAGS.  THAT'S PRETTY MUCH ANY CAR THESE DAYS.  THINK ABOUT IT, SHARP OBJECTS IN YOUR HANDS, AIR BAG GOES OFF!  KIND OF SCARY, BUT OBVIOUSLY NOT SCARY ENOUGH TO STOP ME FROM KNITTING TODAY.  I DID MAKE SURE MY SEAT WAS BACK AS FAR AS IT WOULD GO.
