The boys spend the weekend...

Papa loaded the bombs with water then the boys commenced the attack...

How I love being a Mom and a Grammy...

I did not write these words...but I like them...

Dressing in purples and pinks and greens
Exotic as rum and Cokes
Living our lives with flash and style
Ain't we colorful folks?
-Maya Angelou

"In China I saw an entire nation, once degraded, corrupt, demoralized, and exploited, that was changing its very nature... I realized that if what we call human nature can be changed, then absolutely anything is possible. And from that moment, my life changed..."
-Shirley MacLaine

“What a lot we lost when we stopped writing letters.
You can't reread a phone call.”
-Liz Carpenter

This is the strangest life I've ever known.
-Jim Morrison

Imagine all the people living life in peace.
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one.
-John Lennon
