Happy Birthday Matt!

To my first child, Matthew, I want to wish a very, happy 32nd birthday today.  I love you Sweetie!  You're Mom's favorite 1st son!

Backyard Fun Memorial Day Weekend!

We got the pool filled with water and the hot tub too in time for Saturday's cookout on Memorial Day Weekend.  DH and Son #1 (aka Matthew or Matt) opened the pool and the hot tub.  Opi enjoyed the time just relaxing on the outdoor furniture.  Here's a hint that may help you save money.  In our community, we can checkout  a meter that measures the amount of water we use outdoors.  This is water that doesn't go in the sewer and that way we don't have to pay for sewer costs on the water that goes through the meter!  With a pool, pond, hot tub and garden we use more than a few bucketfuls outside.  At the end of summer, we will return the meter to the water company and they will do a reading on it and we'll get a credit on our water/sewer bill.  Pretty nifty huh?

Guess Where I Was 31 Years Ago???

Thirty-one years ago today I was in the hospital on Barksdale Air Force Base having my son Matthew. Happy Birthday Matt!

A Favorite Old Picture

This is a favorite old picture of my sons and their friend Annette. It's hard to believe that they have grown up. They were such little cuties! I'm posting this picture for my dear friend Jackie, Annette's mom.

Oldie but Goodie Photo

I was looking at some old photos the other day and ran across this one. These 2 little guys are my sons back in 1985. I was in the Navy then and getting ready to go away to a school. I was missing them before I left and feeling a little guilty too so I crocheted the vests my little guys are wearing. They were such cute little guys; now, they're really handsome big guys! Hugs to all...
