Do you know why grandchildren are always so full of energy? They suck it out of their grandparents. ~Gene Perret

Hello, no I haven't dropped off the face of the earth, just doing other things. Actually I've been a little grumpy the last couple of weeks, just ask my poor husband. He has been a trooper the last little bit while I've been doing the "oh, poor me", "I hate my life", "nothings quite good enough"....etc. routine. I keep telling him that he would be well within his rights to boot me out the door and say "Good Riddn's". But, as he's done for the last 30 plus years, he just smiles, gives me a hug, asks if I need anything, then goes his merry way singing or humming his way through the day. He truly has earned himself a spot in heaven for all that I've made him endure.

Anyway, about this picture:
The photo is of my Grandmother Afton Child Heywood (left) and one of her brother's and sister's. I think the picture itself is great, but look closely at the top of the pic and you'll see that it was taken at the Lagoon (the Utah amusement park, equivalent to maybe California's Magic Mountain.) The notation on the bottom of the pic states it was taken in 1912. All of this information just makes me smile, not really sure why, but it just does.

I have been sucked dry by a couple of my itty bitty's but I wouldn't trade a moment away - not even a nano-second!
And, you and Albert remain the everlasting example of how a marriage should be. Two people with love and respect for each other.
