April 2011 – Final Arrival

Friday, May 6th, 2011

Well, another day and all four eggs have now hatched. The family is completed for 2011.

April 2011 – Tom Albrights Pictures

Monday, May 2nd, 2011

Below are some of the current pictures of Tom’s family that I picked up from the Internet. I should say “most of Tom’s Family” as I didn’t see any pictures of Mary or her family, at least current pictures. As a matter of fact I can’t find Mary in Facebook. There are too many Mary Butterworth’s in Facebook and many of those are without pictures.

 I do believe some of these may be older pictures but maybe not.

April 2011 – Stephanie Taylor

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

Everyone should know by now that Stephanie, Dick and Shirley’s grand-daughter, and Steve and Carol’s daughter, is a freshman at TCU. She is also a member of the TCU Dance Team.

Below are a few pictures to show that she has gone from the support of the football and basketball teams and now to the team base ball team. The first picture below makes me hurt. Keep up the good work as well as the grades.

April 2011 – Phil and Brady Taylor

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

Every time I see Phil’s kids on the Internet I’m really surprised.

Now Phil isn’t a small guy like some of us, as I think he will go an inch or so over 6 feet tall. But when I saw the picture below I was really take “aback”. How tall is Brady going to get anyway? He has to be and inch or two taller than Phil now and I think he’s only in his freshman year in High School.

To think we only had one guy in my senior year over 6 feet 3. Maybe they feed them different food in Texas.

April 2011 – Picked Up Pictures – Sandra’s Family

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

It seems like every few months I get to see pictures of family members out on Face-book or some place on the Internet. I usually try to capture them (if they are copyable) so I will have a look at the changes in features. I certainly hope no one takes offence with my publishing them on this BLOG.

In this case Sandra and family look more and more alike each year. It use to be I was troubled with trying to tell the twins apart. Now all the kids as well as Sandra look a lot alike. Hope I’ve gotten the names correct.

April 2011 Middle of Month – General

Monday, April 18th, 2011

It’s really been a tough month. Not a lot going on around here. We started this month feeling very sorry for ourselves due to the lousy weather and Evelyn’s passing in February. And we’ve just gone from no moisture at all this year (a little lie) to an inch last week while the rest of the state was dealing with tornado’s.

I’ve been able to get flowers planted and just today I got the tomato’s planted. I’m not going for the big tomato’s this year but for the small and medium size. I don’t like to put stuff(spray them that is)  on the tomato’s as I don’t like the eating of stuff not really made for man to eat. The large tomatoes spend a lot of time on the plant so they are subject to birds and squirrels eating them or at least part of them. Anyway I’ll go back to the old days of the cherry and medium size plants this year. Azaleas haven’t really grown much this past year and these are two year old plants. The geraniums are those that I’ll take to Marion this Memorial Day.

We also lost a big peach tree this past winter. We had to take it down a couple of weeks ago. We still have a couple of Apple trees and one other peach tree which is only a couple of years old. Hopefully we’ll get a few peaches this year.

I did have to mow again this morning and I did the almost daily cleanup of the driveway after the winds of yesterday. We had 25 to 35 MPH winds yesterday but the winds are only 15 to 20 MPH today, so this is the reason I could get a little done today. Tomorrow we are to have storms again. We’re just on the edge of the storm area but you can tell everyone is ready. The weather guys are really happy today because like last Thursday they will be on the tube from 3 PM until 11 PM tomorrow.

The picture below is of a robins nest on the front porch. Now this is a master piece of work by the mommy and daddy birds. Plus there are two blue eggs. We decided to let them hatch so we will have something to show the grand kids. I’ll also show some of the pictures I took of some of the flowers in the yard.

April 2011 – Maries 76 st Birthday

Monday, April 18th, 2011

Well the gang all gathered at the home base to celebrate Marie’s 76 st birthday. These are just some of the pictures that were taken. I’m having problems with my newer camera so some of these aren’t very good. One thing wrong with the camera is that the battery runs down very fast. Its getting to the place that I’ll probably have to get another camera or go back to my old one which only takes 3.2 MP pictures.

March 2011 – Laura’s Trip To The Space Museum In Tulsa

Monday, April 4th, 2011

Steve Langley had family (his sister Margaret) in town this month and part of the time was for them, along with Laura and Dustin,  to take a trip to the Space Museum at the airport here in Tulsa. They seem to have gotten a lot of good pictures that I will share with you.

Some of the group pictures were taken at the Langley home in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.

March 2011 – Phil Taylor and Family

Monday, April 4th, 2011

Phil, Amy, Brady and Brock must have taken a rip over the spring break period to the Lyndon B. Johnson State Park some place Texas. Here are some of the pictures I lifted off of Facebook.

March 2011 – Hutchins of Scott City

Monday, April 4th, 2011

Dan and Barbara Hutchins were brought up in Scott City Kansas and we all knew them. As a matter of fact Jim and Jane were classmates of Barbara until the folks left for New York I think it was 1955 or maybe 1956. Anyway I always use to tease Barbara as they lived just a couple of blocks south of us.

Anyway we have stayed friends and as I attend the all school reunions in Scott City, I see her every two or three years. But we stay in touch via the Internet. Therefore, I’m privileged to be on their mailing list and of course I catch a lot of pictures from the Scott paper as well as the Internet.

Barb and Dan celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary the 12th of  this month so I thought I’d putsome  the pictures in the BLOG, at least a few meaningful ones.  The pictures are of Bard and Dan as they were in 1961 and 2011. The family picture was their Christmas Card of 2008.
