More Big News

Robert, Nicole and Lainey have big news. On Thursday they flew to Spokane to participate in the sonogram of the next Reid baby. A young lady named Jennifer is making it possible for the Reid's to expand their dreams of a bigger family and nurture an infant into adulthood. What a lucky fellow he is!

Grandma and Grandpa Davis are delighted to have another grandchild. This little boy is be named Beaux Davis Reid. And what would this news be without a sort of Kodak moment?



This is side view with legs out on each side. Equipment visible. Back in the olden day of the first ultrasounds - they all looked alike. I think the OB docs had a master that we all got. The first time I had sonogram was with Billy, 27 years ago.

My Little Bill

Twenty-seven years ago today, the 26th, my little Bill was born. At 9# 6oz. he wasn't really little, but he sure was special. Today he is all big, works for Nabors Oil Drilling and soon will have his own little treasure. He and his girlfriend, Dani, will become parents in early May. They may already be well aware their lives will never be the same. Grandma and Grandpa Davis wish them love and joy as they travel down this unique and special road.

Birthdays

September 19th was a double birthday. Carsten turned 16, Collin turned 4. Carsten didn't want any fanfare, so he went to the Velva/Harvey football game. The Aggies tromped on the Harvey Hornets, 20-7.

Collin had his birthday on the 20th at the International Inn. Two special fellows in my world.

Sunday Mornings

To get up and have the house, a.k.a. my world, to myself is a treat I strive for continuously and succeed at seldom. On Sunday morning a good cup of fresh coffee, the newspaper, and solitude - that is my church.

When eight o'clock rolls around I turn on the set, or switch from CNN, to CBS Sunday Morning. This is one of the best little shows on TV nowadays. None of the 45 second interview or findings stuff they flash at us during the week. Nice in depth stuff.

They do have short commentaries that are rather light and cute. Today was a snippet about everlasting TV tunes. Are there any now?? No, but back in the good old days we had:

Brady Bunch
Beverly Hillbillies
Green Acres
Addams Family
Gilligan's Island
Hey, Hey, We're the Monkeys
Jefferson's
All in the Family (I do a fair Edith)
Mary Tyler Moore
Andy of Mayberry (you must know how to whistle)

While we're on subject of TV, how exciting was the fall lineup of coming show in the new season? Back when we had three channels - CBS,NBC and ABC, it was such a decision as to what to watch. As my dementia blossoms I wonder how long it will be before I forget:

Saturday night was Lawrence Welk (I was most interested in what the Lennon Sisters were wearing)
Sunday - Lassie, Real McCoys, Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color and Bonanza.
Tuesday - Red Skelton
Wednesday Beverly Hillbillies
Thursday - Hazel

Evidently Mondays and Fridays were not too memorable. Or possibly on Mondays I needed to rest after that big Sunday line up.

Don't Give Up on Me!

Ten Reasons why I am not blogging.

1. Trip to Fargo to work on the house.

2. Hutch came and needed to put good china and dishes away.

3. Canning Tomatoes

4. Freezing Corn

5. Making Apple Juice

6. Printing the trip pictures (300).

7. Painting Lacy new/old bedroom set.

8. Making Beet Pickles

9. New Kitten - Lacy's New Kitten, excuse me!

10. Sheer laziness when not having a breakdown.

A Little Bit of Entertainment

It was soon time for a snack of sorts. We bought strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and smoked salmon that melted in your mouth like butter. We ate with our fingers and savored every bite and moment. The peripheral entertainment was, as they say, priceless.




The uniqueness of people amazes me. I wanted to know their stories. Are they where they want to be? Who have they left behind? Does someone ache or worry for them? Will they go back? Is there a place to go back to?
