If I stay very still...

No one can see me.

Now, surely they can't see me.

Well, if I stay still and lie flat, I KNOW they can't see me...

Thanksgiving, 2007

And...

My Girls

Dad and Kids

The perfect family portrait

This one is pretty good, except Hannah is looking the other way. Robert has red eyes, George is half hid, but other than that it is pretty goodoverall... And, Helen, this is Jackie's living room.

This one Hannah is looking at the camera, but George is just barely visable, Robert is crying and trying to get away and Emmy is making a face...

Now, here is Hannah from the first pose pasted into the second pose and Roberts red eyes fixed with Paint Shop Pro. Abra Cadabra, the perfect portrait... I am going tomorrow and have 8x10's made of this one for us. I have left the last good one large if anyone wants to print it and hang it somewhere. This is the only two pictures, (well with the edit I guess it is 3 pictures) with all my family in it.

We had good food and a good time, and I left all the mess at Jackie's house.

Then & Then

For Richard...

He wanted to know if Barbara Powell, Buster's sister, was still living. I finally remembered to ask Donna Kay. Yes, she is still living. Out in OK, around Tulsa, I think. She has had a kidney transplant, but she is doing fine. Her husband gave her a kidney...

Tomorrow is turkey day, and I am cooking turkey, dressing, homemade rolls, twice baked potatoes (maybe? or maybe just mashed potatoes if I get lazy), corn on the cob for all the little and big boys that love it, maybe green beans, and a cheese cake for my girl that will not eat much of anything but loves cheese cake. Jackie is making a cake and a pumpkin pie, deviled eggs, sweetpotatoes with marshmellow topping, and she bought canned gravy. I would have made gravy, but now I won't have to. Jr. is bringing himself and his family and he thinks we should be grateful he is bringing someone to eat all the food without adding to the leftovers. He is so thoughtful, like his mother.

MOMA!!!!

She's got my pillow. Make her give it back.

She's got my motorcycle. Make her give it back.

Moma! She's laughing. Make her stop.

And three grandkids

And Helen says you can't get a good picture of 4 grandkids
