1248 to go.
That’s the number of burger patties our 4H club has to sell at this weekend’s Harvest Festival. We earn a decent profit which lets our club do activities at no cost to the members. Getting voluteers to help is difficult. When it is all finished & the grease is scrubbed off there will be […]

Every year for the past few years I have tried to grow sweet potatoes. The first years I ordered slips from Johnny’s Select Seeds. Every year it seems nothing went right - the plants were neglected, ignored and […]

Visitation (wake for those not Southern) was long for the younger crew, for the last hour I took them for ice cream while Daddy stayed to finished greeting.

Posted a bit late.
On her first birthday, she went to the park:
Played in the water…
Checked it all out…
Thought it all over…
Found it all fine…
Fed some small fishes…
Had a good time.
Counted her candles…
Looked at some gifts…
Helped out the Momma….
Tasted the cake…
It too was fine.
Ended with ice cream.
Bye-bye…

Setting the stage:
Mrs. Fyah had a due date of August 1. That day came and went a looooong time ago. Her water finally broke Saturday morning.
