Fun with family Fall 2009

Some of the grand children came out to the farm for a beautiful fall day of fun and games.
Above is a picture of my daughter in law, Erica, and her daughter, Izzy, and three of their neighbors who joined us for the day.

The boys were busy doing what boys do. Gathering assorted creatures from the pond and getting dirty and wet.

These two really look like they are in deep conversation.
On the left is our grandson and on the right his friend.

The children and big children (adults) decided to get a kickball game going.

A good time was had by all!!

The children always look forward to taking a hayride.

Next group is waiting to get started.

I saw this car parked outside the hardware store and just had to take a picture. Isn't it cute?

This is a picture of my brother, Graham and his wife, Esmeralda, and their nephew, AJ.

My nephew, Stephen, his wife,Kelly, and their son Simon a master surf boarder.


We were all over at my sister's for a pre Thanksgiving get together and had a great time.

This is my sister, Jill, and her fiance, Barry. They will be getting married Dec, 30,2009. Don't they make a beautiful couple?

This is a picture of my nieces, Ashley and Brooke and their friend Amanda. They sure are three beauties.!

Brooke and here long time friend Amanda. Brooke is the niece we visited in Nevada on our trip west.

My new computer!!!!

I have repainted all rooms in the house but two. Last year I did the kitchen and the entry way. This year I completed the rest. This is a picture of our new den. It's a real pretty teal with a wall paper border that has maps on it.

This is Nicky checking out the new den.

I did the bathroom in a color called October orange. I really like it. It's very bright and cheery.

This is a picture of Graham's nephew, AJ, all dressed for Halloween. He made the costume---Isn't it awesome???

The boys still working on getting dirty and wet.

It's hard to tell but the hall is a new tan color.

The dinning room picks up the two colors of the carpet.

Our bedroom is painted Fresh Olive and I really like the color.

We're back at the pond now and this is all the girls who were here for the fall fun day. A pretty good looking group don't you think??

Did you ever notice that girls unlike boys actually enjoy posing???

As you can see Lee finished painting the barn. A big relief to me as I really don't like him up that high anymore.

Getting the fire ready for roasting hot dogs and making smores.

Our son, David, and Nicky trying to decide who's Frisbee it is.

Hot dogs and hot chocolate for everyone.

Nicky and his new friend. What fun they had playing together today.

Just one more ride Papa!!

Back at it again

Below is a picture of me and 5 of the members of my graduating high school class. We had a breakfast get together will Don and Lois were visiting us. What fun it is to catch up again with high school friends. So many great memories to relive.

This is Don and Lois and they were able to stay with us 3 days on a recent visit to Harrisburg. They live in Lecanto, FL and last year we spent a week parked in their back yard and they showed us a lovely time.

Toby and Nicky are good pals too.
