The whole weird bunch...

Obviously, that last one wasn't supposed to be a duplicate, or without words, either. Just more of the learning process. The storm picture was the tornado forming out our back door (it touched down southwest of here about 20 miles) the day I talked to Ben, in Sept. I think; the picture of me was on my birthday, so you can bet I was telling Mel not to take the picture; Tim-- well, it's a Sunday night, that should explain it; Mel and Suzie on the first day of school and one silly day at home. There you go, gang; identify us for the little ones, laugh at us, cry for us, run screaming from us -- whatever seems appropriate...
See you soon!
Hugs, Yomama

My Israeli Friends

This is Ilana and "Dillon" (he didn't spell his real name, so I don't remember it), two young Israelis I met in Nashville. They were adorable and thought the same of me (bizarre, ain't it), so Tim took our picture together.
(I think perhaps this one loaded because it was small. This game is seriously hampered by our dial-up, and my lack of skills in managing pictures/size.)

Okay, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but this takes me too long. The pics are not loading, and I've listened to most of a Josh Groban cd without getting any images... so maybe this is why you don't get much from your grumpy ol' mama. I had some fun pictures to post, but -- well, I guess I need more coaching or something. Ya think?
Regardless of what comes of this session, I'm so looking forward to seeing everyone in the flesh, because that will always be better than a blog -- even your crazy, cute, creative, character-flaunting ones!
Much love,
Yomama
