MELON DAYS 2009

Yes Mother the Black's definately rock. Melon Days was great, it's been a long time since we have all been there together. Watching the kids get the float ready reminded me of all the years we used to get down there at 10 or 11 at night and throw together what we had been planning in our heads and getting up early for the finishing touches since it was always so hard to see what we were doing after dark. I can say it sure made me remember all the good times we had and how lucky we were to have had them and also how lucky our kids are to be able to do the same thing we did as kids. Not many kids get the chance to know their great grandparents but ours have and it is something I hope they will cherish and never forget just as I will always cherish our times down their growing up. Yea we complained alot about leaving our friends all summer but thinking back I wouldn't change it for anything. Hell I wish life was as simple now as it was then. Ok so I put together a slideshow of the pictures from Melon Days to put on here, we can't have our Mother complaining that we only post on Facebook now Geez. I am glad that we all got to go down this year an I will hope that we will have the chance to do it all again next year!! They are great times that neither us or our children should ever forget memories last forever don't ya know.
Love to all

BLACK'S ROCK!!!!!

The week-end in Torrey was great---Boyd was so tickled to have you all there for a visit and some good food. This past week-end in Green River was also a success. You all did a great job with the food and clean-up. Mom and Dad really enjoyed visiting and eating some good meals. The memories of these two trips are priceless to us all. I am proud of all of you----taking the time to do this was awesome. I am hoping someone got lots of pictures as I really would love to have copies of some from both of these camp-trips. Memories are worth more than money in the bank---you will never regret doing these kind of things. Your children are so fortunate to have great-grandparents-----it is a privilege that not many kids have. I hope they will never forget the good times with us as that is the most important thing we can leave for them.

I GIVE UP!!!!

T0day was Steve's birthday--he is 62. We are getting old and it is so very hard to have to admit to that. Thanks to the ones who called and wished him Happy Birthday---it was appreciated. The others I have no words for. I appreciate all the effort that went into the trip to Torrey. Grandpa really enjoyed having you all down there....He has told us that every day for the past week.
