Photo Gallery-Children, Grands & Great-Grands

Just because Bruce and I have found our final resting place doesn't mean that we don't miss our families back up north. My family all live either on Long Island or in Upstate New York. This first photo I took when I went to meet my very first great-granddaughter for the very first time. She was 8 weeks old here. What a treasure. Born to Michelle Smith, my first grandchild, and Garry Bovee. She weighed in at 8Lbs. and 02 Oz., and 21"H.
What a joy. Can't get to see family too often these days, now can you? They've got a standing invitation to C'Mon Down. Bet I could talk Cierra into eating grits real quick ! LOL!

Lindsey At Age 11 with Her Niece

Lindsey missed out on having a younger sister to play with, but now at 11 she's become a doting aunt.

Guess Who's With Whom?

Cierra May "belong" to Michelle, but she's got an Aunt Lindsey who's crazy about her too.

After the 2:00 a.m. Feeding

No wonder Michelle had sachels under her eyes. This little tyke stayed awake for playtime with Mom.

Michelle & Minne Mouse

Michelle made her first trip down to visit Pop-Pop in Clearwater. I suppose she hounded him to go to Disneyland (or was that a bribe?)

Me @The Snuggery for Lindsey's Birth

What an AWESOME experience ! I was privileged to be in the labor room when Lindsey was being born. When asked if I wanted to cut the cord, I almost cried.

Now we can't give so much space to the females without getting in trouble with a couple of men in the family....so...
Lord knows there are precious few snapshots I have of the boys. Yes, Rob was my firstborn and now a man quite on his own, doing his own thing. One of the loves of his life is the pleasure of the vine. By this I mean both the pleasure of drinking the wines produced as a connoiseur and also tending to the tender vines themselves. A vintner from the ground up. Hope you're enjoying life, Rob.

Then there's my youngest son, Richard, who I hear from a wee bit more often. Rich is also in the "hospitality" end of the Restaurant business and doing very well. Good Luck with the new car, Rich. Now wouldn't y'all say that we needed some fresh photos on here of the men ???
