Alex at Age One and a Half

Alex at Age One and a Half

Our Great Grandson, Alex, posed for this photo that his Mom (our granddaughter, Anna) posted on one of the social media sites. Alex is a year and a half old now and seems to be enjoying the bike ride training wheels and all.

Verna and I have a rough plan to go out there to visit them in Santa Rosa, perhaps this summer and in any case by the time for his second birthday in September.

Visiting Baby Jerry

Baby Jerry

We’re in Palm Desert this weekend to visit with our kids and the grandson. Today, they brought the baby and had dinner with us here in the RV Park.

I took this image of Jerry while his daddy was holding him up and making him laugh. He is just the cutest thing! Click on the image to enlarge.

Baby Jerry Throwback

Jerry Loves the Grandma

This is a throwback to last month in California when we were visiting with the new Baby Jerry. Verna was holding him and he put his little hands to give her a little hug.

We will be out there by next weekend for another visit. We will be a week late visiting this time since the kids (baby’s parents) had to take the other grandparents out to LAX for their vacation trip down to Cancun this weekend.

More to come later – click on the image to enlarge.

Joys of Dog Ownership

Joys of Dog Ownership

When I say “Dog Ownership,” I actually mean the DOGS OWN US. Verna took this photo of me coming down Gloria’s Driveway today holding a bag of the puppies everyday contribution to the perpetuation of the ecology of the planet. These bags go to the landfills and eventually decay so that the nitrogen cycle of the contents can be released, thus completing the aforementioned contribution.

We had rain today, badly needed in the desert and there is more forecast for the week to come – April Showers/ May flowers. Click on the image to enlarge.

Badass Baby

Bad Ass Baby

I purloined this image from the FecesBook® thing. Our granddaughter decided to cut little Alex’s hair into a Mohawk and spike it with red dye for this shot. Badass Baby Great Grandson with tattoos and all. Click on the image to enlarge.

Portable Baby Caddy

Portable Baby Caddy

When the kids bring our grandson to visit us in the RV, we saw a need to have something like in the image above; a place where baby can sit while the parents and grandparents do their visiting. The little fold-up item is a KidCo GoPod portable baby activity station. We now need to purchase some little toy items that can be attached to the Velcro strips surrounding the baby. We brought the GoPod this visit to California and the baby seemed to like being in it. The baby activity toy he has needs to be attached – well – so it doesn’t get pushed or tossed on the floor. We’re working on that.
