⭐Golden Birthday⭐

Ila May turned 9 years old 

on the 9th.

(Golden Birthday)

Mark and Kimmy know how to celebrate

 a special birthday!

I never heard of a Golden Birthday!

Leave it to Kimmy to know and

celebrate this fun birthday!

It started with cake and ice cream for breakfast.

Then opening gifts.

And of course playing with all the gifts.

But this time the curtains were closed ?????

and 

nobody could look outside....

That is until the Bounce House 

was completely set up!

Surprise!!!!

We all took turns going down the slide.

And each of us had our own style.

Mark, going head over heels.

Or was it heels over head?

Tom, going sideways, feet up!

Silas just feet up!

Isaac, free style

Levi went down so fast, I couldn't get a picture!

Me, along with Isaac.

(He wanted to make sure I went down.)

Kimmy... I think she's done this before!

Even baby Nathan went down.

We played on the Bounce House

ALL DAY !!!!

⭐Happy Golden Birthday ⭐

Ila May!

Who Are You Going To Call?

Gusts of winds blew through our area!

In the aftermath, garbage cans tipped over,

bunches of leaves blown into corners and our flag got tangled up 

at the top of the pole.

How do you undo a flag that is wrapped around an eagle 

without breaking something?

You call the local fire department!

They came right on time with their 

huge truck, with it's long ladder.

Nampa Fire Department 

to the rescue!!

The Captain helped Tom hoist our 

brand new American Flag.

They were very gracious when I asked 

for a picture! 

(Why do they look so young?)

Off they went.

Just another day at the office.

What next, a cat up a tree?

OH!!

They didn't leave empty handed.

Homemade Banana Bread, 

still warm out of the oven.

🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

The other night Lulu came over and spent the night.

Lulu loves to "play" with my tea sets and cups.

Below, she is holding her favorite tea cup.

It's the one Kimmy gave me.

Banjo and Lulu were inseparable!

I went shopping the other day 

and I got a phone call.

I usually, head to the pet isle, 

where there aren't a lot of customers.

A great place to talk without distributing 

anyone else.

But now that we have a DOG...

not such a good idea!

Banjo got some new toys.

Oh well, Super Bowl Sunday was coming up 

and Banjo was going to be ready!

Touch Down!

He didn't do a victory dance.

He just sat there.

He ate most of his dinner...

But who leaves just ONE nugget of food, 

in the middle of the bowl?

End of the Year

Remember when you were young 

and collected buttons?

There were all kinds of buttons...

funny, thoughtful. even political. 

Then came bumper stickers.

Again, some funny, thoughtful or

political.

With computers, came, what are called Memes.

They are catchphrases that are passed on to others via the computer.

It's the end of the year and I have collected a lot of Memes. 

Now it's time to 

clean out my computer and start fresh.

So here it goes...

some funny, some thoughtful and

some political.

If you have read ALL of these Memes,
you probably know
me a little better, now!
