Heritage Days at Jesse Jones Park

Today Susan and I took the little girls to a local park to experience "American heritage".

On a hay ride (behind a tractor!) to the main area . . .

Do I Need A Jacket? - The Weather Right Now

There are lots of ways to tell the weather. But do you really want the weather?

No.

You want to know if you need to wear a jacket. maybe you want to know WHY you need a jacket. Try Do I Need A Jacket? - The Weather Right Now.

A Valentine's Gift from Gwendolyn (and Susan)

Forgive the crappy photo. All I had on hand was the eyemodule for my Handsping Visor and if the light isn't perfect . . you get shots like this.

But the point is that Gwendolyn with Susan's help made me a pencil cup for work as a Valentine's Day gift. So here it is on my desk.

Susan's YMCA Partners Kick-off

Superbowl Sunday was also the kick-off of Susan's big fundraiser for the year. The theme this year is a western one.

This of course strikes anyone who knows Susan as funny. She is creeping up on being more of a Texan than a New Yorker (based on time spent) but she wallows in her Yankee-ness. Never have I met someone who has four kids born in this state, friends for life, and political involvement disparage a people and customs more.

The kick-off and theme did lend themselves to fun pictures though.



All four girls on a hay-ride. (Hay ride is defined as driving around the YMCA parkinglot twice [TWICE!] behind a pick-up truck. For reference, in Kansas the trailer would be pulled behind a tractor or horse, in Green Bay by a tractor or snow-mobile.)

Miriam rides her first horse . . Susan seems pretty comfortable in her denim shirt and bandana . . hmmm . . . interesting. I wonder where this can lead?

It could only lead to LINE DANCING!!


And we close out this little album with Gwendolyn on another hay-ride.
