Odds and Ends (at odds with your ends?)

Okay, I'm going to try to post some pictures -- I think I can do it, but we'll see how it goes. -- Love you all! Nonnie

On Family

Happiness is having a large, caring, close knit family in another city!- George Burns ( for all you long-term out-of-towners in the family)

There is no such thing as fun for the whole family- Jerry Seinfeld

IF you ever start feeling like you have the goofiest, most dysfunctional family in the world, all you have to do is go to the state fair. Because five minutes at the fair, you'll be going, you know, we're all right. We are dang near royalty. - Jeff Foxworthy

And my personal favorite...

Families are about love overcoming emotional torture.- Matt Groening ,Simpson's Creator and author of our family motto ... "Remember kids, as far as anyone knows, we're just a nice, normal family."

oh dad.

so ive been doing a little blog catch up the past couple days... reading old post i had missed and indulging in some pure homesickness and missing my family sumptin fierce... and i saw the post by mom with 'brannon at his best' that made reference to 'dad at his best' and i thought i would share that picture of 'dad at his best' i believe she was referring to. when i first saw it and called dad to let him know the photo had made my day, we laughed a bit before he told me to maybe not show mom because, in his words, "pictures of him like that leave bad tastes on her memory". sorry dad in posting it anyway... if for no other reason than to prove my point about briceson's goggles making him suited for this family.
love you all.

b+rice+son= briceson

so i know i may be a bit behind on the debate and the final decision of spelling, and i know rox and i arent exactly spelling savants and may have never actually grasped the concept of phonics, but b+rice+son= briceson and i am thankful to have a name i can spell so easily... and a nephew i can love so easily. i have this picture of him in goggles that makes me laugh so much and know without a doubt when i see it that this is the family he belongs in.

OLDEST and YOUNGEST

Well, our oldest and youngest grandchildren just headed back to Texas - and I'm feeling a little sad, as I always do when any one of them leaves, or when I have to leave them. But we sure enjoyed the visit, and Milah (bless her heart!) just sent me the sweetest picture of Dessie, sound asleep, arms wrapped around Charli Jo's car seat, and Charli Jo's little fingers wrapped tightly around one of Dessie's fingers. I'm so happy, and thankful, that our little Dessie finally has learned what each of you have known all along - that "family" (particularly "siblings") has so very little to do with bloodlines - and so much to do with love! No more "half sister" - just "my baby sister" - love will do that to you!
I love you all! -- Nonnie
