Happy New Year!

 

If this is your first visit to our weblog, welcome!   This site is what’s called a vanity blog; it has information of great interest to us and somewhat less to our friends and relatives and virtually none to anybody else.  Mostly it involves family and friends, projects we’re involved in or trips we’ve taken.

You don’t need to register to read most of the entries, to post comments or to “like” the page on Facebook. To “like” a page, just click on the appropriate button and it will show up on your Facebook timeline.  To add a comment, click on the little balloon-like black cloud that appears at the upper right hand corner of each post.  The posts are moderated, in order to stop spam, which means you won’t see them right away.

Pages with personally identifiable information about our grandchildren and some other items require that you register.   If you do wish to register, fill in your proposed username and email address on the box to the right, and I’ll approve you quickly.

From our family to yours, Merry Christmas!

Blogger.com, another Google product, is littered with blogs that people have started and abandoned, because it turns out that nobody cares what the author has labored on.  I’m not egotistical enough to think that this would be any different.  Nonetheless, it is a pretty good way to keep a journal of what we’re doing.  And unlike Facebook, this is entirely under my control.

Who’s  the audience for this?  You.  Me in 20 years.  And perhaps our grandchildren when it’s time to write a high school story on “Things My Grandparents Taught Me.”

You do not need to be registered to view the entries here, but if you are you can view all of the posts, including the ones which are hidden because they contain information or pictures of our grandchildren, and you can leave comments.

It is set so that Google won’t find it.  With luck.

 

Kids visit

Georgia had gone to be with Jackie, and I had agreed to take all three kids while Christi went to Denver for her L.P.N. test.

By the time we got done with showers last night I was crapped out. Having all three of them here at once is hugely fun but exhausting. I asked them to put the hammock together, and watching them took 3x as long as if I’d just done it, but it was intriguing to sit back and let them puzzle it out. And they discovered that the multilevel solar fountain is the perfect device for launching leaf boats and watching them go over the tiny waterfall to the next level down. And then take the leaf, put it in the top bowl and start again. And again. And again.
