BLACKBERRY WINTER AND FURRY CHILD PORTRAIT

There was frost this morning and yesterday was windy and cold as a witches elbow flying in the north wind. I guess this is Blackberry Winter. We usually have a little cold shot just before Easter. Tomorrow is suppose to be up in the mid 70's. Is that crazy weather or what? It was so perfect last Saturday. I wish we could enjoy some more of that weather for a while. The Good Lord sends us what we are suppose to have so I will just enjoy what it is and be thankful for all things.

Here is one of the 11 puppies that we have. This one is 4 weeks old and is Shelly's favorite. She put this little scarf around his neck today and wanted me to take his picture. It is amazing what she has taught him already. He will stay, sit and come when she ask him to. She praises him a lot and also gives him little treats of ham. I really was amazed when she got him to do all of those things for me to see. All of the 11 furry children are so cute!

Well, this is it for tonight so I shall now say "Good Night John Boy".

LASTERDAY WAS ALL THE YESTERDAYS

Emmy is a typical 3 year old...."NOT". She is so smart but innocent. She has been here several times during the week and wanted to spend the night every time. Jerri would tell her she had to go to school (day care) and that I had to work. Friday finally got here for her. Jerri said that she got up at 6 a.m., ready to go spend the night with Bibbi. When she got here, yesterday afternoon, she come in running to me saying, "Bibbi, I been wanting to spend the night with you since lasterday, here I am." All the days before were lasterdays. lol

She woke up this morning at the crack of dawn. It was just beginning to get light. I pretended I was still sleeping, in hopes that she would go back to sleep. She sat up in bed and crowed like a rooster and said, "Bibbi, it's time to get up. Did you hear the rooster crow?" Of course, at that, I could not keep my eyes closed or still for laughing at her. She then reached over and patted my cheek and said, "Bibbi, I love you so much...I want some Viennas". Talk about a heart melting, mine did. She is so cute, smart and loving. She also has a mind of her own that you can not change with any amount of bribing or persuading in any way. She will be ready for what comes her way in life, I am sure.

She is also very inventive with her prayers. Very thoughtful and good.

Emmy was 2 in this picture. She wanted a mustache like her Daddy's, so she painted herself one.

This is a picture of her at her #3 birthday party.

Shelly, her 7 year old, going on 21 year old, sister, is very protective and nurturing to her. Emmy loves her Sissy. I could go on and on about my Grandchildren but I will stop for Emmy's page for right now and say "Good Night John Boy".
