David goes to merit badge camp

Over the weekend the youngest scout, ended up taking lessons to earnhis merit badges.

All look like they had a great time.

He has been in the scouts longer than Noah, and is the one who showed Noah how much fun scouting could be.

David is the youngest boy in the family and has come a long way in the last few years. Always outgoing and loving. A little weird sometime but thats the way you differ from one child to the other.

Six grandkids

Rose and JJ

Rose and Jj are here sleeping as usual.

Rose in her chair and JJ, tonight on his ironing board.

It is hard to believe she has been with us for 4 and 1/2 years.

Jones or JJ has been with us since 95.

When see them and compare them to other animals, for their age they are amazing.

Poodles can read by the way and I knew it before I read the article. Rose knew when the rest stops were coming up because she started barking when she saw the blue sign rest stop 1 mile.

Ian goes to London

Ian and Eric take a trip to London from North Camp , seeing all the sights that Ian had talked about and having a great weather day.

No bumper shoots. Just beautiful clear day to see the Queen, Big Ben and the great Ferris Wheel.

Noah was 12 today and Ian called him while we were celebrating and Noah never told us Ian had gone to London.

These pictures were on my email when I got home.

Enjoy and we miss you Ian love Gramme, Rose, JJ, Mom, David, Daddy, and Noah

Brighton and the Seven Sisters

Ian's visit to England is getting a lot of traveling in the southern part of England.

He has visited so many places, but the last was one of the most beautiful ones.

A picture says more to describe what he is seeing than mere words can.

Ian in England

This morning Ian, the oldest grandson, landed in England.

He has been planning this trip since Feb. The hardest part was getting his passport. It took us until May, and the government sent if in July.

He has worked hard for this trip and I hope he enjoys it as much as I do when I visit Eric and Anna.

They have major plans for him to see as much as he can in the three weeks, his mom let him go for.

I had enough frequent flyer miles to get him over there, with Eric living there room and board will be paid by washing dishes?.

We will miss him while he is gone, but Noah will miss him the most. His big brother is not in the house to talk to him when he is down. Going through a change of schools and growing up and your birthday next week needs your best friend around.

Sarah Palin from Pa

Just got this email and it so touching I had to share it with you all.

I comes from Rush's radio call in and the pictures were sent to him.

This is why I can not vote for the other group. We need more true Americans who really care.

The little girl's name is Chloe. This happened in Pa. on the campaign trail and the Dad called Rush and sent him these pictures. I usually do not recommend a web site but to get the full story please check his site for these.
