haha... yelp.. where there is water, there is a boy, and a rock!!!

 

the old saying, where there is water.... there is a ....???

 

Madison enjoyed other things instead of the trip, or at least she wanted you to think that.. haha...

 

This shot reminds me of life a bit... trying to figure out the real from the mirrowed...

 

first time I have seen the stumps under the water since we bought the place in 1960. I wondered what life was like when the pond was built, and who did it and how...

 

No this is not staged! Ann is enjoying the trip as much as Andrew, however by the end of this outing, Madison was HEAVY and Ann was tired to say the least!!

 

and there were plenty of shells... but he enjoyed throwing rocks into the pond... like most boys would, haha...

 

Andrew could not decide which shell to pick up...

Andrew and Madison stayed with us...

 

Andrew and Madison stayed with us yesterday afternoon and evening, so Mom and Dad could take care of some business in Tulsa. We did the lunch thing and then Ms. Madison took a nap. Shortly after her waking up, Ann and I took the kiddos on a exploring trip around the farm. Our first stop was the bottom 'double pond', we call it, however, like Ann mentioned, the second pond is no more, it is a dry pond bed, but anyway, enjoy the photos...

The Goober Yard from our home last evening.

 

I saw this early and took some early shots with my phone which are posted on the stanmobile.blogspot.com site. Even before I took those, the front moving through and the clear skies below it was breathtaking. I wish I had my camera earlier and we could have really enjoyed those shots! Enjoy the day!

Great evening with the Robinson's in Stillwater last evening...

 

We visited with some life long family friends last evening. Ann and I and Great grandmother and MK and Phil and Tammy and Austyn had a wonderful time with Sharon, Lawerence, and Morgan.

Highlight: besides the way to much super great food, we learned of a fantastic party Morgan threw for his friends before Christmas that was strange, enlightening, and completely different from the run of the mill parties. These guests and Morgan will remember this party for their whole lives due to the circumstances of it.

Enjoy the day. I think the supercharged bunny and her brother are coming over for a bit, and yesterday we kept Austyn in the am. How cool, being a grandparent!! Loving it more and more everyday! But it sure helps remind you that it is better at 60 to have grandkids than kiddos of your own... haha... love to all..... s

A story worth repeating....

Senator McCain was a guest on IMUS this am and was telling about his mother who is 94 years young having a broken hip and him and his family having to keep "mom down" while the hip was healing... He said, " To show you the problem in it's fullest, my mother decided to go to Europe and travel around and she flew to Paris, landed, went straight to the car rental place, they asked for ID, she showed them her valid driver's license, and they promptly turned her down for a car rental due to her 94 years of age. She, being a resourceful woman and one not taking no for an answer, walked out of the airport, walked 4 blocks to a new car dealership, bought a car, and drove by the car rental place honking her horn... to pick up her luggage at the airport!

Now, that tells you no age is too old... haha....


later.. enjoy the day!

Celebrating New Years and Ann's 60th Birthday...

Ann talked with almost all her family on her birthday and we went out to eat the night before... but we did not know there was a home game for OSU basketball.... haha... so pickings were slim as to where to go... We did celebrate her 60th Birthday by cooking burgers on the grill in 30ish temps with 30 mile an hour winds.. interesting to say the least... but we did eat and had a great time... as you can see ... Austyn provide some entertainment....
