Oh, (((((Wolfie)))))..How could I? Many hugs to you. ;)
That is so neat about your respective flag stories. How special for both of you.
I am so looking forward to it, especially since visiting Ohio last summer. I'm sure that Amy and I will both contribute some of our photos on the thread.
Just do a little at a time. Start gathering photos, either yours or some from the internet, then gather up some facts and trivia, then experiment with some borders and background colors and, the next thing you know, it will be finished. :-)
my two girls have always spent a good deal of time with their mamaw and papaw. when the youngest was just getting the hang of using the potty, she called out for help "finishing up." my father inlaw was closest and informed her that he would go get mamaw.
the little squirt, trying to bolster his ego no doubt, says: "oh you can do it papaw. you're a good butt wiper!"
PeeWee is the funniest dog I have ever seen. Inky was a regal queen with royal demeaner. Peewee is the court jester who keeps us in stitches all day. Maggie calls him "The Monster" because he is always getting into trouble. But I am so glad we rescued him. He is a joy.

I have some kid funnies coming up.
I sure wish these had been larger, Nan, so we could see her sweet face a little better. :-(
Got 'em and have posted them. :-)
What a little doll she is!
This is priceless!
RETARDED GRANDPARENTS
(this was actually reported by a teacher).
After Christmas, a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holiday away from school. One child wrote the following:
We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa. They used to live in a big brick house but Grandpa got retarded and they moved to Arizona. Now they live in a tin box and have rocks painted green to look like grass. They ride around on their bicycles and wear name tags because they don't know who they are anymore.
They go to a building called a wrecked center, but they must have got it fixed because it is all okay now, and do exercises there, but they don't do them very well. There is a swimming pool too, but in it, they all jump up and down with hats on.
At their gate, there is a doll house with a little old man sitting in it. He watches all day so nobody can escape. Sometimes they sneak out.
They go cruising in their golf carts.
Nobody there cooks, they just eat out. And, they eat the same thing every night: Early Birds.
Some of the people can't get out past the man in the doll house. The ones who do get out, bring food back to the wrecked center and call it pot luck.
My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn his retardment and says I should work hard so I can be retarded someday too When I earn my retardment, I want to be the man in the doll house, Then I will let people out so they can visit their grandchildren.
Thanks, Nan. That is funny!!! Except for the last line, which tugged at my heart. :-(
I found another Kid's talk about love...
HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY?
You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.
- Alan, age 10
No person really decides before they grow up who they going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with.
- Kirsten, age 10
WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?
Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER!!! by then.
- Camille, age 10
No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married.
Freddie, age 6
HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?
You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.
- Derrick, age 8
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?
Both don't want any more kids.
- Lori, age 8
WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?
Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.
-Lynnette, age 8
On the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.
-Martin, age 10
WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?
I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns.
- Craig, age 9
WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?
When they're rich.
-Pam, age 7
The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that.
- Curt, age 7
The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do.
- Howard, age 8
IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?
It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them.
- Anita, age 9
HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?
There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?
-Kevin, age 8
HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?
Tell your wife that she looks pretty even if she looks like a truck.
-Ricky, age 10
Man! LOL.
"HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?
