HIS SMILE!!!

So we take a detour!! Found this picture! Guess who? some will know,this is Casey!The not so happy Disney goer! This is happy face,which we so love to see! A perfectionist at heart Casey is so great to talk to.In a time when 17 yr/olds don't take much time Case will get on the phone and in no time I ,his grandmother am so proud to have him,he takes the time to care ,always tells me he loves me,and I glimpse the goodness in his soul,that fills his 6 ft.3in.strength!

Lynnie Bug!

Did I tell you how i ever came by that name? Everyone has a nicknaame right?And most of us have no control over what name you get right? WELL!! It was no different for me,out of my control! Story has it,as a small child whenever Iwas outside playing I had the absurd habit of 'EATING' the bugs!!! YUP! right off the ground!Since my name is Lynn,...they just added ie... and Bug and theren you have it! It became in years to follow a source of many stories and muccch embarrassment to me! I cannot say if it is really true,would you like to be "famous" for such thing?!

Lena Mae my grandmother

This is Lena Mae Perkins,my grandmother!,with my father as a baby,isn't she beautiful!It was from her as my grandmother that I first knew some of how I would like to be a grandmother.

Funny that I thought of that as a child,but I did!She was the grandmother to the neighborhood children,I best remember her Saturdays,that was her "baking"day she made many things but her molasses cookies were the bessst!All the kids knew from the smell when they were ready and showed up at the screen door for their saturday treat!My own pie crust is the recipe I watched and helped her roll out countless times,and I have won many blue ribbons for that crust with my apple pie!One other of her homemaking habits I follow today[much to some peoples astonisment and woes,]is the ironing of my bed linens!! I love my sheets ironed ! this my grandmother did on Tuesdays' as Monday was washday!!I miss her still and would love to be there and smell the cookies,and sit in her rocker while watching small town life from the window.

Gramma,you were one of a kind,many years ago,i love you still. Lynnie Bug
