Where did the summer go?

MAAAMMA!

Another Sunday, just like any other . . . -- Church as usual, home a little later, dinner preparations underway, then came Elliott -- "MAAMMA!" He shouted with all his might as he came barrelling through the front door to find me in the kitchen. I love my little grandson! It's hard for most to tell the difference from what he calls me and what he calls his mom -- they are pretty close. But, I know the difference, and so does he, and that's all that matters!

Football: the Long and Short of It

August means football season. This is Willie's 4th year, and he is still having fun. The kids practice, and practice, and practice. They had a scrimmage on Saturday morning with Copper Hills. The Hunter Bantams did well. Although the team members are pretty much in the same age group, they come in all shapes and sizes -- Willie (#75 in case you can't tell) is the longest, and Cody is definitely the shortest. It will be a good season. Games begin on August 23rd.

I love the BEATLES!

I got my first BEATLES' album (Meet the BEATLES) when I was in 3rd grade -- the fall of 1963. That seems like a century ago but was really just a few decades back. I planned on marrying Paul McCartney because he was by far the cutest. I listen to the BEATLES' music pretty frequently. My f-a-v-o-r-i-t-e song is All My Lovin', . . . you know how it goes . . . , "Close you eyes and I'll kiss you" . . .

Well, Annie and Haley have been talking about this movie, Across the Universe, for awhile and how the soundtrack is all BEALTES' re-records. The other day I heard the Across the Universe version of All My Lovin' on niece Emily Dee's BLOG. It was so good, I had to buy the soundtrack. Yes, it is very good, but, my f-a-v-o-r-i-t-e song on the CD is, hands down, "Close your eyes and I'll . . . ."

I love the BEATLES!
