Introductions

On the Lake

We were invited recently to a dinner party
celebrating the new person in Darrell's life. It was her 20th birthday.
They live in Vidalia and we are expecting another grandchild around Christmas.
We wish them the very best.

Plumbago

As promised, here are some pictures of the flower gift, with a few others thrown in for good measure.
Our town should appreciate the added revenue due to the drought we have been plagued with the last couple of months. Our lawn survived beautifully with much hose dragging. Recent rains brought an end to this windfall.
Long overdue was the carport painting, the stain was bought last year when it was on sale, so the dry spell helped encourage that project.

Kailani's 5th Birthday

Once again this year, April 21, 2009, no birthday party celebration for Kailani. I do not understand why, and never will. I hope that she is not bitter and hurt when she grows older in realizing that her Mom never chose to honor her birthdays as a special day. She has had only one planned birthday party that I know of, this one on her 3rd; http://tejasmidget.multiply.com/photos/album/139/April_Birthdays ..All of the rest were either skipped, merged into some cousins party some other month, or on her brothers birthday in August. We always try to do something for her, http://tejasmidget.multiply.com/tag/birthdays but never exclude her brother to keep the hostilities down. There seems to be some sort of confusion that dictates what is, and isn't to be done. Perhaps there is some recollection of her third when her mother insisted that presents be brought for Cody also, then incredulously, as his punishment for some unknown reason to us, his were put in bags and put away.
Darrell and Heather are going to church regularly since Easter. She wants him to give up drinking, which is a good idea. Perhaps she will hear a sermon or two on cleanliness. She blames the unkempt condition of the house on these two children. Darrell has resigned himself from his angry bouts of house cleaning and states that his temper is their only problem. I wish this were the case. They have wedding plans for July 25th, 2009. You are invited.

Off to mow/trim the yard as per my instructions :)
