The Craw family - here we grow again!

This just in! My neice Allie has announced she is having a baby, her first. Congratulations to her and her husband Troy. This is great news because Great Aunt Heather is baby hungry!

I can't wait to see Grandpa Jeff and Grandma Pam in action.

Happy Father's Day

Dad and his garden-grown watermelon. He's quite the jolly green giant!

Thanks for everything Dad! You're the best!

Hello 95 degrees!

Whoa! It was time to get out the pool today. Here's Brad and Jordan have themselves a hootenanny.

Favorite teenage memory

My friend Liz took me back to 1985 with her "gardening technique" comment on my flowers. Better off Dead is one the best movies from our high school era! The character "Roy" shown above, is what we term now-a-days as a Tool or Knob! One of his best lines...."your time will be gauged along with a rating of one to ten on your style, which will be judged solely by me and my vast expertise of skiing technique." I'm fairly certain that at one time, we had this movie completely memorized.

Here's another one...

"Gee Ricky, I'm real sorry your mom blew up".

Priceless!

My aching body...

It took the bulk of my Saturday, but it's finally done, the flowers are planted! Joy! My muscles and joints are paying the price today though. What are ya gonna do ay? Anyway, here are some pictures.

Imagine this...

Sunday evening, I'm out planting flowers by the front porch. Bradley steps out onto the front porch in a long tshirt that he uses for PJ's. I thought to myself...Ok, as long as he stays on the porch. I get engrossed in my gardening and when I look up again, I notice he is no longer on the porch and assume that he has gone back inside. At about the same time I have this thought, I hear his voice coming from the sidewalk at the corner of our house. I shoot straight up and whip around just in time to see him addressing two young mother's pushing their babies in strollers. Before I can act, he says to them "Do you know why I'm not wearing any pants?" as he playfully twists his torso from side to side. I spit a quick and growling "BRADLEY, House, Now!"
I'm sure the encounter made their ovaries shrivel up.
