Retirement sayings from "Mary's basket" ......... Goodbye Tension, Hello Pension!! The trouble with retirement is that you never get a day off!! Retirement has been a discovery of beauty. I never had the time before to notice the beauty of my grandkids, my wife, the tree outside my very own front door, and....the beauty of time itself.

Westobou Festival, Augusta, Georgia
HISTORY LESSON: The Augusta area used to be inhabited by an Indian tribe called the “Westo Indians”. There name for the near-by river (now called the Savannah) was the “Westobou”…thus the name of the festival.
HISTORY LESSON: There are only 150 “Whiskey Painters” and Ms Zimmerman is actually one of them. Google “Whiskey Painters of America”. It is very interesting. All the paintings are water colors using some “alcohol based” liquid instead of water.

Grandparents Day at Caleb's school
Caleb is doing so well in school and we are all proud of him. The teacher did an exercise with M&Ms. She passed out a small bag of M&Ms to each student, had them open the bag and separate them into colors. Then she gathered data from each student on what colors of M&Ms they got in their bag. Caleb could read all the colors and completed the exercise quickly…..then Caleb and Grandpa ate the M&Ms. quickly. We met Elaine Jones, Caleb’s other grandmother, at the school and it was so nice to see her.
Caleb and Grandpa. They both had a good time.
Calab and I at Grandparents Day.
This is Caleb with his other grandmother, Elaine Jones. We had a nice visit and I will see her tomorrow at Caleb's 7th Birthday party.
I love this poster!! Caleb had to write three "super cool" facts about himself and he wrote, "I can catch fish", "I can play Gitar Hero", and "I can train my pup". I hope you can read the other parts because they are so cute.

Visit with Dawn, Sean, .....and Sara
We took two trips to Rita’s for Italian Ices and Frozen Custards and took the kids out to eat a couple times. I hope you enjoy the pictures I brought back from my visit.
This is Sara "shopping". I think she has "shopping" down pat.
I know you won't believe me...but this is Sara saying, "Thank you Grandma for my sock monkey"
