Plus One Bad Egg

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

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.

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.

Phil and Brady

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.

These pictures are of the hail that fell on the 24th and 26st at Laura and Steve’s place north-west of Tulsa in Skiatook. Karen has had larger hail (quarter size) but there are no pictures yet. They were on her phone but hadn’t been uploaded to the Internet yet. We’ve had pea size hail here at our place on the 26st but it was gone before I could get the camera. We got a new roof a few years ago so we don’t mind being left out of those getting hail.

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.

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

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.

We went to Muskogee and spent a few hours with her before returning to Tulsa. She was resting when we left. Around 5PM she went code blue and could not be resesitated.

Evelyn was the oldest of the 4 Taylor kids.  Paul came next followed by Marie and Dick. In 1995 the Taylor kids decided to have an annual get together at a state park here in Oklahoma. Annually 35 to 45 people are in attendence. Evelyn was known as the “slime” lady because she always made slime for the younger children to play with. She will be greatly missed.

Marie and Evelyn were very close and spent a great amount of time together prior to Evelyn moving to Muskogee late last year. They went everywhere together.

I’ve known Evelyn since 1957, as Dave, her husband, hired me to go to work for Commercial Credit Corporation in Topeka Kansas. I was out of college and could not find a job and my dad owed CCC money. I worked the eastern part of Kansas collecting buck and repo’ing all sorts of stuff. I was transfered to Tulsa and later hooked up with the Albrights as they were from Muskogee. Evelyn’s sister Marie, I met by hooking up with the Albrights on a visit to Muskogee.

I don’t know the guys names who attended Dustin first celebration but that doesn’t matter to much. I imagine someone will tell me later and I’ll add them to this presentation.

Dustin liked playing in the snow.
