Canteen FRiends ~ Radix

[HiJinx]

We've had the walls done...what's the question?

[Soaring Feather]

Hey TEXOKIE, for Petes Sake!
Here, how's this for starters!

[M0sby]

Here's his little kid picture... compliments of Kathy..THANKS KATHY!!!

 

 

 

Thanks for indulging me...

[Fawnn]

I certainly hope you haven't left yet, 'cause until Linda can build you a fancy tank, I'm hoping this one'll do:

[Kathy in Alaska]

Always! Just you and me and HiJinx and M0sby and maybe Brad's Gramma are still up. How have you been faring weather wise?

[HiJinx]

Boy, do you have friends in high places...!

[Fawnn]

LOL!!! We did it again! (I need to learn to refresh and scroll down.) ;)

Gramma: I told you she'd build a better one!!!

[Brad’s Gramma]

WHOOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!!! WHAT a Sweetie!!! Almost a year!

I remember when my daughter brought Brad home...many years ago on an Easter Sunday. He had just started to crawl that day while they were over at their friend's house. She put him on the floor to show us. He crawled as far as the couch. His head hit the couch. Did he cry? No. He get right on "crawling"...picture the baby with the head smoooshed on the couch, arms and legs going, but getting asolutely no where. It was one of the FUNNIEST things I've ever seen.

I'm NOT biased of course.

[Fawnn]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww He's a cutie!!! Mini-HUBBA HUBBA ;)

[Brad’s Gramma]

Loooooong story short. Is it typical of a painting company to say we have to move OUT for 4-5 days? I DO understand the day that the scraping, etc. is being done. I wouldn't WANT to be in here.

4-5 days???? Is that "normal" for someone to tell ME I can't be in MY house????

[Kathy in Alaska]

HJ, you are doing the Grampa thing tonight? Such hard duty. Are you playing games on the floor at her eye level?

[Soaring Feather]

Well, there is always this!
Just dying for a pilot!!!

[TEXOKIE]

Hi Ms Feather! You want balloons again??? You are One Brave Dudette!

[Brad’s Gramma]

FAWNN! I'm MOST IMPRESSED!!!!!!!


WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!

(anyway this begger can ask for live ammo coming out of it?) :-)

[TEXOKIE]

What a wonderful group! I see Ms Feather is still up too. She wants a balloon ride.

[TEXOKIE]

oops....re the weather...

Been raining off and on for last several days... Just enough to keep it cool!! I LOOOOOOOOVE THE FALL!!!!

[HiJinx]

Sort of...her gramma is unable to watch her for very long because of medical problems, so we watch her in the evenings when her mom has class at the local community college.

We've always been close with her family, and have always been considered an Aunt and Uncle (surrogate parents?) for the two kids. It was just natural for the grandbabies to become part of our family.

I treat her just like her Grampa does...we sit at the computer and look at all the pretty pictures...or play with the little musical toys...or crawl around the living room together...you know...whatever it takes to keep her happy!

[Soaring Feather]

Hey,Tex, look what we get to see from the balloons!!
WooHoo Time!

[TEXOKIE]

OMIGOSH!! That sounds so long!! Since we did the work ourselves, I dont know what's reasonable...we were sleeping in another part of the house. Hmmmmm sorry I cant help on this one.

[Fawnn]

I'm NOT biased of course.

Well, I AM biased....

Today the MBABGDITW2 (who'll be 2 in November) insisted on vacuuming the carpet. Of all days, I'd left the digi-8 at home. After watching her struggle with pushing the upright vacuum cleaner that was taller than she is around the room for awhile, my daughter said, "Okay, let mommy finish now." The poor MBABGDITW2 started crying. Big tears! Not a tantrum. She was hurt. She wanted to help. (My daughter said, "Remember that thing you told me awhile ago about 'a child's willingness to help is in inverse proportion to her ability to do the job'?" ... Not that I'd ever indulge any of my grandchildren, but I got a tissue for the MBABGDITW2 and suggested that my daughter get the electric broom. Youngest granddaughter then spent at least 20 minutes "sweeping" the floor! Then I took her outside so her mom could do the actual vacuuming.) ;)
