I am WAY behind here. But I have a good reason!!!

My daughter was SUPPOSED to come this past Saturday from Alabama (without a banjo on her knee) to pick up her kids and then return to Alabama on Sunday. Everything went according to plan except for the returning home part.

Our household from 4 members to 8.

I'm pretty sideways about it to be honest. I'm glad she left her husband. She starts her job on this Saturday (she lived here before and is going back, VERY good). Who can fail to be happy surrounded by kids and grandkids?

The major drawback is time. I should be more participatory soon, but if something is addressed to me and I don't respond timely, please send me a pm or email to my posted email address.

DON"T FORGET ME!!!!!

OH! If you see a brain bouncing down the road.... it might be mine!!!

Under that is a layer of light colored clay. Our sons will soon have more information as they learn to dig deeper and deeper holes.

Jeez, rub in the family scene, why don't you! My daughter shows no likelihood whatsoever of producing progeny. I'm just an aging batchelor, snivel, snurk. Guess I've no choice but to get a girlfriend 1/3 my age, so I can hear a youthful voice now and then. And a motorcycle! And this chair..and this lamp...and a thermos....

Steev, my hubby would LOVE to have another male around to share his load! OH, and my daughter could stand a husband.... but... she's half your age?

Telsing, sounds like you are having a family reunion of sorts. I bet they are loving your beautiful new home!!!! May your sanity be kept in a safe place for now! LOL
