Fun things that the Grandchildren do.

This is a bit of a collection of pictures of our nine grandchildren. Most of them are in some sport or dance class. They have a wonderful time! We love to visit them and see how fast they are growing. We don't want them to grow up too fast, but they seem to do that. Our oldest grandkid just got his driver's permit. Everybody on the roads be careful of him now. All of our grandkids are so very SPECIAL and we are so PROUD of them, as well as their parents. Wish we could see them more often, but we will try harder to do that.

Fred is studying for mid-terms and he had several projects to get done.

His game was on Monday and we weren't able to get up there until Thursday. But know that he played another great season of football.

Pete didn't have his baseball game, since it was

cancelled because of rain. He decided to go

to a Halloween-Birthday party. He had fun.

Ben going out on the soccer field to try some interferring with the other team. He had several "head butts" at this game.

Sam is playing football this year

for the first time. He is doing a

great job. Keep up the good work!

Halloween 2008

HALLOWEEN At least we had daylight for most of Halloween.

We went to a house in town and watched the kids pass out candy.

There must have been about 300 kids "Trick or Treating" Lot of the kids wanted to play!

Had to have a fire to scare away the Goblins!

This isn't a bald wig costume,

he shaved his head, now he doesn't

have to worry about his hair!

Friends with their pumpkins their parents carved. Best of friends--Witch and Cat

Best Friends-Spider Girl and a Pirate

Sisters! All four friends!

Here is Spider Girl with a Spider Web on

her forhead and one on her neck....

Out in the Woods

Walking in the Woods on a very nice day.
This is our dog that adopted us about nine years ago.

This is our oldest grand daughter, Nichole, standing beside a tree that was hit by lightning, It seems as if the lightning made the bark of the tree be stripped off from the top of the tree to the bottom.


The bark that fell to the
ground was lying there and
was in a very long strip and
was very heavy.

We don't know if the tree was struck just once, or if it was hit quite a few times, but it was a very strange happening to run into in the woods.

Henderson, N.C. Car Show

Aren't all these old cars terrific! I would like

to have any one of them. Can you imagine how

much these cars cost? Out of sight.

We did do a lot of walking. They had cars all

over the city of Henderson. There were so many

people looking at all the cars.

We were surprised to see four people in Henderson that we knew. The four usually

are at the local car shows that we attend. They did not bring their cars, but just came to look.

I would have more pictures on here, but what I didn't realize was that my camera

was in the "Movie Mode" and so I got quite a few movies, instead of pictures. I was wondering

why I couldn't hear the camera click when I pushed the button down. I guess you might be lucky that I didn't have any more pictures.

Next blog, the grandkids and their parents will be on. Talk to you later.

Things around here

Gardens and things

We are still getting red and yellow tomatoes

as well as red, yellow and green peppers from

our little garden. It won't be long before all of

them will be gone and the SNOW will be here.

I don't really want that, but the next four days

are supposed to be in the low 80 degrees! That

will be GREAT.

Bouncy Things with two of

our grand daughters and some friends!

More Cars

How about this? It is a convertible!
That is so cute. The roof just goes

down into the back seat.

This truck would be so nice to drive!
