We actually took a couple of days in 2009 to go to the beach with some family. It's always fun to see kids at the beach for the first time...wave jumping/chasing, sand castle building and the bury Uncle Pete in the sand.




A couple months later we enjoyed Christmas morning in Bahama with the same young'uns. Aunt Rita always wins the prize for the most generous this time of year!!!



Lots of news lately and a promise to Ma to start posting much, much more frequently.


Here's a couple of pics of our adventures last the last post.

Wow! A Wedding courtesy of the youngest! And an overdue immediate family reunion. How is possible to end up with all these great siblings, and then their mates?! Not to mention the amazing couple that started it all.
Two out of the three that spent the last 5 months with us. Such a joy! such a joy...Don't we all wish we were that photogenic!

Half an Acre!!! Yeah, O.K. you try push mowing 1/2 acre every other week in a yard overtaken my chipmunks which cause random holes. I did manage to get an unbelievable deal on my new riding toy and I was so excited I started it up in the Lowe's parking lot, drove across Roxboro St. and Duke St. to my shed 4 blocks away!


Wow!!! This blog has had some issues getting started! I've promised myself that I'd add enough posts and pictures between now and the end of year so I'd feel proud enough to introduce my experienced blogging (is that a word?) family and friends! Here's a pic of Rita and I from earlier this year.

A new addition to the family came into the relatively quiet life here at 532 Finley on the 4th anniversary of Rita's crush on Pete. The last pick of the litter, the only sibling left became instantly the luckiest puppy to ever leave Sara and James Lee's humble breeding stables in far-off Person County.
A gigantic step in responsibility for Pete that was soon to drastically effect his notorious and frequent sofa naps.
