volleyball win
Tonight was the first volleyball game, and they won all three matches, which was fun. At first though when they introduced the players on each team, the announcer called out the first kid, “Junior Sarah James!” And I thought that’s an odd nickname for a girl, but to each their own. Then after a few

It was the perfect night to watch the fifth grade team play football, sunny, breeze, not hot. It was a close game, and she was there keeping occupied by doing cartwheels up and down the hill and putting that hat off and on a million times. Looking forward to the weekend kids! Love, Grandma and

tim is twenty
Tonight we had a good old-fashioned pre-pandemic birthday party. It was a little hot in the house, but not too much. Cake time! Here are a few pictures from the past, just because they are fun. My pretty baby, warmly dressed because the living room floor is drafty in the winter, and because that’s a
wilderness walk once again
Here we are at the entrance, arrived early. First we went to Tremblay’s, the candy store in Hayward. Got there at 9 am. They each took a basket and had it filled in one minute and seven seconds. I suggested they look around, make careful choices. One kid showed me his basket was full of
