Judson football game. It looks like Judson was off sides, but watch close, a lineman (in blue) does move and draws Judson across the line. The referee rules for Judson. Enjoy!

Halloween...

... party at my house, and I wasn't invited. :)


Stephanie, Derek, Erica, and Miranda hosted a part at our house. I did make an entrance as a pimp, and I got a few reactions. Then off to my room for the night. Prior to the party, my grandkids came by for Nancy and I to be able to see their costumes. Enjoy the pictures. The top center picture of Derek and Erica was taken by Erica's mother, Ardith.

Time to ...

... divide the peonies


First, let me give a little history. Nancy's mother loved peonies. She had a beautiful white group of peonies in her front yard. She passed away in May 1999, and I asked Nancy's father if I could have a start. He gave me a large start, which I was able to divide and plant three starts. Within a week, the peony bush was gone, and Nancy's father went to a no-maintenance yard. :)

Today, I split my peonies and give some starts to Laura and Larry. Mike and Sarah, and Dennis and Mary.

Picture above: Top left is the flower this spring. Top right is at the cemetery with the two siblings and a peony flower from Betty's growing in my yard. Bottom left is the peonuy bundle out of the ground. Bottom right is a ladybug that was enjoy a home that I took apart. Enjoy!

Woke up ...

... this morning at 6:30 A.M. by a toy on my sci-fi wall screaming for attention.


I tried to turn my alarm clock off, with no avail. As my senses started to wake up, my Obi-Wan Kenobi lightsaber's blue light was on. It would not turn off, and I had to take out the batteries. I am thinking that it was telling me that the batteries were low, or to get up and play. Needless to say, I was now wide awake. If it was Darth Maul's lightsaber, I would have fainted in fear. :)

The Real ...

... Dennis, please stand up.


My brother-in-law is one wild man! Enjoy and do not run into him on Halloween.
