Woo-hoo!

I am the proud grandmother to this handsome and talented young man. His artwork was accepted to be displayed at Hancher Auditorium and there was a special reception and showing last Sunday in his honor. (Well, other kids, too, but. . . . ) anyway, here he is standing next to his piece, which I am not sure what it's titled, but there is a king who has ordered some food to be brought to him and off on the right some big bricks (gold? I'm not sure) anyway it's a storyboard etched on black. And it's very awesome! I am guessing we are going to be seeing much more of this guy's work in the future and it wouldn't surprise me to see some of my other grandchildren getting attention paid to their talent also, as it seems to be running rampant in this family! I love it! Way to be, Jack!!!!

Happy Valentines Day

I got a ton of valentines yesterday from the M-W-F kids and I took a picture of my favorite one. It was made by Callie. Isn't it sweet? Today the T-Th kids have their party and here we go again! They are so excited and wound up over valentines. Happy day to everyone - may it be another day of being in love with Jesus!

Snowville

Thinking we should re-name Coralville "Snowville". Here is looking out our back porch door. The snow is deep on the roof. Check out the top of our garbage can!
This is the post on our front porch.
A look at our front yard and out toward the street.
A look out the bathroom window
Come summer when we are hot and sweaty, this will all be a memory.

A Real Nice Evening

We met with our friends Larry and Darlene Marske tonight. It had been so long since we had a good visit. It was so good to hear about their kids, grandkids, and everything else we talked and laughed about! We have been friends for about 40 years. WOW! Darlene and I lived together for 3 years in this great little apartment in Waterloo and we reminisced some about that. Mostly we just enjoyed catching up and seeing one another face to face. It was good. I think they liked Don!
Here we are getting ready to leave the restaurant and say our goodbyes. The hostess took the picture for us. I can't believe how old we are, because we still look like we did in fashion school!!! We're still the hottest things around, aren't we?!

I AM SO EMBARRASSED!!!!!

Don hasn't been in large assembly for several years now! He is in Fabrication!!! ok, then. I think he has forgiven me and I have gotten things straight. (for a while).
