Looking back at this, the water barrel may have just been a pre rinse before we could come in the house, we got pretty dirty sometimes.
This community is the best, it always brings on a smile, a chuckle or just warms your heart with good memories. Thanks for it all & the Love, vansky, RonM, packrat, cindyjune, & scandi. Thanks scott for the aliases :)
The Big Dipper and Little Dipper are fabulous photos. Waksoftly, you know girls, (mani) are more precocious than boys!!They remind me so much of my many years in the countryside, where we worked so hard, slept so well, and worried so little...
Thanks for the Love & the comment michelleamieux, I agree with you 100%.
walksoftly, please, call me Michelle, my last name is all the vowels but "o", with an "x" thrown in!! Not easy to type!!
Nothing is easy to type for me, so I will gladly take your advice, my name is on the picture.
I've gotten used to being a one finger typer with a newborn in my one arm for basically 5 years. It's nice that they're getting older now. Have a 5, 3, and 1 now and won't have more :).
So cute.
Mr.J303, I'm sure with baby in hand you still type faster than me!! Congrats on a beautiful family, Mich
THAT IS JUST CUTE AND PRICELESS:)
Sounds like you got your hands full, Mrj303
Thank you Mich.

"This community is the best, it always brings on a smile, a chuckle or just warms your heart with good memories. "
Feel free to copy & paste if you agree with me.
Thanks walksoftly...This IS a great community !!
I didn't do the editing.
It's no wonder that I have my head down in the picture, it's so I don't get hit by all the crap that's been flying around the last few days.
What's a poor boy too do?
Thanks for the love, bratjjd.
