School Days

Here is a new picture of Sarah that I just got tonight.

Thank you Sarah for sharing your picture with us.

You are a beautiful little girl and will have a
birthday pretty soon. Happy Early Birthday.

Tell Mom thanks for sending the picture.

A family of 4 generations

This picture was sent to me today. It is a four generations picture of the Tallant/Hale family.

In the center holding the baby is gr-grandmother Deretha, right is grandmother Amy, on the left is mother Chelsey, and in the middle is baby Caden Michael.

I know every one is very proud of baby Caden. He is a very precious package. Welcome to our world Caden.

New Room

Well, here is the two pictures that Denise took this morning. It looks better in person. :)
I wanted one with the window dressing, but that will come later. It is a great improvement.

The shirt and cap on the wall, Denise made them for Duane and I to wear at one of our earlier Family Reunions.
The cap and shirt has pins made with pictures of the 9 grandchildren at that time. That is the only time we ever wore them. I wanted to keep them clean.

The little animals and jug on the top shelf my kids made out of clay in grade school. They have aged well. :)

New Room

Well it is pretty well finished.

All it needs now is the closet doors hung back up. Larry took them down, maybe he can put them up again.






I don't have a pic of it completed, but here is a picture of the new carpet that Denise took after the man finished yesterday.

Patrick will have his own bed to sleep in tomorrow night. :)

New Room

Well, it took 4 days to paint it, but it sure does look nice.
Now to get the floor taken care of. The carpet has a hole in it where I cut one so I could see if tile was under the carpet. It has some paint on it also for I wasn't very careful since I was getting rid of it.

I hung some things back up, and placed pictures on the shelves. They really do look nice. I can't wait to get the funiture back in and the curtins hung again.

Boy, I am really tired and the ball game is going to waste and me setting here. They only have one more game tomorrow until next year. The RANGERS that is.

The picture was taken a little while after I moved here in 1999. We will see a difference in the next picture when I am finished. :)

The old rocking chair was the one that my daddy always sat in. It is now in the living room.

Duane built the cedar chest for me and I was so proud of it. He also built one for Karen and Kimmie, but he didn't get one built for Kari, so I told her she could have mine. She is real proud of it. He also built a gossip bench out of cedar, that belongs to his other granddaughter, Elizabeth.

New Room

Well I have started on my quest to paint the little bedroom. It is empty now and I bought a can of paint. Now to just get started.

I love to paint, it is just getting it ready to paint and cleaning up after it is done.

Maybe I can get a picture when it is finished. :)

Long Ago

Darlene, I enjoyed your post about Braden, but I wanted to comment with a picture and did not know how. So I will just do a post here with the picture. Do you know who this is?

Denise was a Rebelett her senior year in high school. Wasn't she a doll?
The Rebelett was the drill team for William B. Travis High School in Austin. They were really good.

I think this Mamaw is not quite as high stepping now as she was then. :)
