Smiling Frog

We have a frog story that includes my Daddy! Actually we have many frog stories and some rabbit stories, but the FROG in particular has become a beloved representation of the life of Charles Blow. Recently, my first cousin gifted Mother with one of her award winning pictures of a frog. It looks a little like this one, but this one (Thank You Ranes) is SMILING!!
I LIKE!!

Tyson's Valentine!


Tyson's Valentine Creation for the School Wall.
Grandma and Grandpa LOVE it!
I love February because I get valentine cards with candy.
I give valentine cards with candy.
I get to visit my grandmas and grandpas.
My valentine is to my girl friend.
I love valentines day because I get candy.
I love candy because candy is good to eat I think.
I love my family because I get to watch TV
and play with friends, too.
I get to go visit my grandma and grandpa
if it snows on my grandma's and grampa's pool.

Nephew Jonathan and The Winter Olympics!

If you are watching the Olympics these next 2 weeks, look for and cheer on Trevor Marsicano from Ballston Spa, NY. He is our Nephew's (Jonathan Meacham) friend, mentor and "big Brother" from the Saratoga Speedskating club who at age 19 qualified for 4 long tract speedskating events. He is one of the youngest US speedskaters to qualify for the Olympics. I believe the 4 events are men's 1,500 meters, 3,000 meters, and 5,000 meters and the team persuit (relay race). The 5,000 meters race is today, Saturday.

Enjoy!

The pix is from Jan 2009 Lake Placid for the Jack Shea sprints when Trevor was in town training.
GOOD LUCK TREVOR!

South Georgia SNOW




Yeah, I am even laughing at myself for posting our pitiful little snow pics~
You should have been in our house... Blace called (I mean CALLED, not texted~~ a true emergency reason to CALL, not text) ... to tell me it was snowing in Pine Park, about 6 miles east of us. We settled back to watch *Emily of New Moon* ~ happy that she was so overjoyed~ and it began to snow here! I was trying to get a sweater on, grab the camera, call my Mother all at the same time!! Excellent multitasking and a good thing as it stopped not long after it was too dark to do anything but press our noses to the window and watch it slowly change from snow to rain again.
It was so beautiful, feels like a Blessing!
