I AM "MANN" OF GREEN GABLES !!

We learned a lot about genealogy and all of the "hood" went home with a 4 generation genealogy chart starting with themselves and ending with their great grandparents

This family tree chart starts with my Aunt Jessie and her husband Richard Sprague and goes back to the 1500's

Sleep? What? No way. Just hide in the blankets and giggle all night

Ah, we do know how to eat. The potatoe bar was a fav of everyone's

There were more pics but I still don't know how to arrange them without losing some of them. Sorry. My blogging is like my singing. Off key, out of style, but very enthusiastic.

COUSINS OF THE TRAVELING SKIRT!!

FROM SATURDAY TO MONDAY WE WATCHED "ANN OF GREEN GABLES" AND WE LAUGHED, CRIED AND CHEERED

SOMETIMES WE PLAYED "TWISTER"

OTHER TIMES WE ATE ICE CREAM SUNDAES

WE TRIED DANCING

WHO ARE THE WE? WHY WE ARE THE "COUSINS OF THE TRAVELING DRESS!!"

SOMETIMES WE WERE DOWNRIGHT SILLY

OTHER TIMES WE TRIED TO BE SO MATURE!

NAH, MOST OF THE TIME WE WERE SILLY.

IF ONLY GRAMPY KNEW HOW TO FORMAT PHOTOS INTO THE BLOG YOU WOULD SEE MUCH MORE TODAY. BUT ALAS AFTER ENTERING AND DELETING ACCIDENTALLY MORE PHOTOS THAN I CAN COUNT - YOU HAVE TO BE CONTENT WITH JUST THIS TODAY AND MAYBE MORE TOMORROW. I'M SUCH A COMPUTER DWEEB.

Be Careful What You

On February 2nd, 2009, a special cocktail, (shown below) was given to a mild mannered, average citizen who was happily married and living the good life. He was relaxed, happy, well fed, anxiously engaged in good works and enjoying his family and the daily activities of his life.

For visual proof of just how well-adjusted and happy this person was, please see the next picture. Recognize him? Yes, to many of you he is your dad. Notice the casual pose. Note there are no lines of stress in his face. He is relaxed and breathing in the flowers of life, even in the middle of a harsh winter with temperatures in the low teens. He is so happy there are green leaves on the trees and he only needs shirtsleeves in the middle of winter.

HOWEVER, WHEN HE WOKE ON THE MORNING OF FEBRUARY 3RD AND LOOKED IN THE MIRROR, THIS IS WHAT WAS LOOKING BACK AT HIM!!!!!!!!

I'm promised that I will return to normal on February 10th. In the meantime I am locked in the basement of our home being fed steak, chicken, lamb, copious amounts of spaghetti, delicious salads, fruit juices, home made bread and a variety of specially made treats that only radioactive people can eat. In addition, I have to sleep in, watch plenty of movies and read favorite books.

Honestly, the look isn't that bad. I'm getting used to it.

Love Dad
