Update about blogCa

Who knew all this would happen afterwards! Flat Creek in November, 2024. Much changed by the force of the hurricane floods in Sept. 2024. The deck of the bridge is now under that pile of debris.

      Thanks for being up in the wee hours...or maybe not since when Eastern Daylight Savings Time says 3:00 am, it may be normal hours where you are. Maybe?

      No, I'm Eastern time. Just woke up in the night and was awake awhile, so decided to check some blogs.

    Congrats to Marty from the Great White North where it almost went down the freezing last night -- at the end of May! What whacky weather, from heat wave to figidity.

      Oh no! Marty is currently staying in St. Petersburg FL, and he said he forgot his hat, but brought lots of sun block. He would laugh if he knew how cold you were.

    Happy Birthday to Marty! It's fun to go through old photos and remember those times and how much we've learned and grown over the years.

      I talked with Marty on his birthday and he does remember the plastic snake...but much later than that photo. I at least can identify the furniture in the background where my parents lived.

    I think we start to realize we are getting old when our kids turn fifty! It has happened to me too.

    Congratulations, Marty, and to your mom too! It must be fun to arrange your son's photos since for once you hardly need to research his family tree, and can put them all in proper chronological order!

      Oh that's great, and I have so many memories. I do enjoy learning how Marty's own memories are different from mine!

    Happy Birthday to Marty. I had to laugh at "Snakey" - the same creative naming my grandbaboo shows in naming her stuffed sloth - Slothy.

      Yes, but you haven't seen the one tiny stuffed doll, which was a little black and white bear. It could well have been a panda. But it's name ended up being Baboon I think.

    Wonderful pix of your son through the ages. My son had a snake like your son's. He called it a "snee" because at the time, he couldn't say the word "snake" and the name stuck. :) I love your blog photo at the top. I'd want to be out on that little island! It looks so cooling and right now that would be such a lovely thing what with temps, here, climbing high into the 90s lately! Bleah.
