Kids at Thanksgiving 08

Josiah will soon be 16.

Here are my darling offspring - Amber and Josiah - at Thanksgiving.

Amber and her crew were happy at Thanksgiving.

Natalie is One Year Old

Natalie plays with the gravels in the barn.

Jacob's Sheep

A neighbor brought his sheep over to eat some grass for me. They ate some bark while they were at it.

New goat addition

Mickey is a pygmy billy goat. He is not full-grown yet, "but" is making his presence felt!

Kayaking

Josiah kayaks the Newark rapids of the Hughes River.

Blennerhassett Bridge

We walked across the new bridge. We've been waiting for this a long time.

Meigs County Huttons

I finally found some time to do some genealogy research. I'm down to two jobs for the summer, working only 10 hours a week now, and only 3 days a week. Hopefully, I'll have some time to play with my grandkids now.

Perhaps Elijah Hutton was a cousin to my great-great-great grandfather Joseph Hutton. The inscription at the bottom says:

Thy toils are now ended

Thy suffering is o'er

Thy spirit is at rest

On that far distant shore.

Weaver, Racine, O.

Easter Kids

We had a nice Easter. Everyone went to Sunday School with me at Cutler Mission.

Me Bad Blogger

So sorry to have neglected posting for such a long time. My life is very busy right now with four part-time jobs (60 hours per week).

Josiah moved back home with me after Christmas. We enjoy playing music and chess.

Amber and her "crew" are staying with me temporarily. She's relocating here.

So, with 5 extra people in the house, it's wild around here.

One of my missing camera's reappeared mysteriously. I'm glad, but curious as to where it had been. It's an old Nikon SLR, so no good for blogging.

They caught the guy who had been robbing people in the neighborhood, but it's unlikely I'll get anything else back.

I'll check in later when I get some good pictures to show off.
