Callie's knitting project #2

For my birthday last week Callie knitted me a cell phone case. I think she did a marvelous job. The loop is to strap it to the my purse. I am so glad she is learning this new talent.

Gentleman #1: You know, I have an idea. Whoever wrote that letter must have read about us in the newspaper.

Gentleman #2: What is it?

Gentleman #1: What's what?

Gentleman #2: The idea you have?

Gentleman #1: I just told you!

Gentleman #2: What was it?

Gentleman #1: Whoever wrote that letter must have read about us in the newspaper.

Gentleman #2: Right! Now that letter was signed 'XXXXX'. So he must have read about us in the newspaper and called us in to solve his murder.

Gentleman #1: How could XXXXX write us after he was already dead?

Gentleman #2: Right! You know what? Maybe whoever killed XXXXX wrote that letter.

Gentleman #1: If you killed XXXXX would you write to someone and ask them to find the killer?

Gentleman #2: Are you saying *I* killed XXXXX?

Gentleman #1: (aggravated) No! I'm saying you kill me!

Halloween '08

I didn't get any pictures of the other kids but I did get one of this little witch sleeping on the job. We had quite a day. Lucy and I ran some errands early and then came home to have the power off for about 3 hours. The time I had set aside to make a pot of chili for a trick-or-treat get together later in the evening. Not getting that done, I went to pick up the kids to get Ginger to dance class while the others attended a party at the nursing home. After that I had one hour to come up with some chili. David saved the day by getting a pizza and taking the children without me and letting me stay home and rest.

Carson and Callie were both pirates, George was a teenage mutant ninja turtle that we borrowed from a neighbor, Ginger was Cinderella, Lucy was a witch, and David was a referee.

**I forgot to mention that her sweetheart passed away in 1985 so there is a long awaited reunion happening**

David's maternal grandmother passed away this morning. She had a heart attack on Friday and didn't recover from it. She was 93. Sue, David's mom, was able to drive up to Washington from southern Oregon to be there when she passed.

I met Grandma Jenkins a few months after David and I were married. About year after that she suffered a stroke and then went to an assisted living facility. Carson was born before the stroke because I have a picture of them together when he was really little. Because of the stroke she lost her eye sight gradually and some mobility which later got worse.

We have visited her a several times throughout the years which has been nice. The last time though was when Ginger was a baby so its been about five years.

Here is a picture of Grandma Jenkins with little David and his brother Matt. David is on the left. It is one of the only pictures I have of her on the computer right now.
