Just had the best visit from my youngest great-grandson yesterday. Asher lives in OH and came to visit his relatives in Mississippi. He is 4 years old, and two great-grandmothers were able to enjoy it, along with four generations of family.

Happy "Heavenly" Father's Day, Dad

 

Picture of my dad in his younger days.  Marion E. Love, Sr., was born June 12, 1916, and passed away on November 6, 1987, from a heart attack hitting the Wisconsin Ave. bridge abutment.  I just happened to live on Wisconsin Ave., and have to cross the bridge that goes across I-20 in Vicksburg, MS.  I miss and love you so much.

Happy 18th Birthday, Tidus David

I wish my great-grandson a very Happy 18th Birthday today. Tidus lives in Great Falls, MT, and I haven't seen him since he was one year old. I miss and love him so much, but we stay in contact by phone. Love you, Great Gran Gran

Happy 4th Birthday, Asher

Wishing my youngest great-grandson, Asher of Ohio, a Happy 4th Birthday yesterday. Asher lives in Ohio, and this is what his Mom, Caitlyn, had to say about him that I love. Happy birthday to my big 4-year-old! I can't believe how quickly time flies and how much you've grown in just a year. Your curiosity has widened, your imagination has deepened, and your heart has even sweetened. However, your smile is still as big as it's always been. Although you may start to get harder to carry around, you will forever have a spot in my arms. I love you, Asher Boogie. What a cute photo of him looking through the number 4. I love you and miss you so much, Asher. Great Gran Gran

Swamp Deer

During deer season many years ago, I decided to stay on my stand all day. I had just eaten my lunch about 12:15 and was taking a little nap while the sun was shining on my head, when I heard a snap of a branch. I looked towards the swamp area and saw a doe coming to the right of my stand. I immediately put my hat on for good luck and got my gun ready. I shot, and the doe came towards me, and as she turned in front of my stand, I could see the exit hole. I knew I had her. She turned towards the swamp again, and I feared she would enter it. I waited for about 20 minutes and got down to look. As I walked towards the swamp slowly, I turned to my left, and two does were headed right for me. I could not believe it! They were no more than 25 yards to my left.

What I did next will make you laugh...I said "BOO" and they took off! I laughed at myself...I can't believe I just told two deer "BOO"! I wanted to find the deer that I had just shot. I finally found her lying right next to the swamp. Bob was hunting at his camp then, and Allen came from the camp house when he heard me shoot. He said that his Dad had told him to check on me because I probably got a deer. Allen took a picture of me and helped me return my deer to the camp. A very successful and unusual hunt!

Soccer & Fishing by Great Grandsons!

I received cute pictures from my daughter, Debi, and granddaughter, Lucy, of my great-grandsons, William David "Will" and Noah. Noah just got a medal for playing soccer, and you can see how excited he was running to show his Mom and Grandmother.  

I love the fishing pictures of them catching their first fish. Will with his Mom showing off his bass and Noah showing off his brim with excitement.. 

It looks like they are having the time of their lives. Oh, to be so young and innocent, enjoying their childhood in our great Mississippi outdoors!

Happy 12th Birthday, Kate!

I wish my granddaughter Kate a very Happy 12th Birthday today! Her Aunt Debi took a picture of Kate as a baby peeking over her Mom's Suzi's shoulder, and look at her now. I love you, Kate, and enjoy your special day! Gran Gran

My pretty Kate!
