Anna Elise

Dick's youngest grandchild. Does she look like her Daddy? I''ll cast my vote after I see her in person, which I hope will be soon.

Cubby----Daytona Beach

Dick arrived for the Memorial Day Weekend. We went to a Daytona Beach Baseball Game. My Friend Judy and her Grand-daughter Sailor got up on the Dugout to Dance to the "YMCA" with the mascot Cubby.

Dinner with Tyler

I went to see Tyler play lacrosse and afterwards we went to the Noodle Company. What did he order? The same thing when he was 5.....Mac&Cheese, somethings never change, but Tyler is getting close to 6 ft tall.

Ahlawn & Montpelier

James Monroe's house and Gardens in Charlottesville. Montpelier, home of James Madison. The DuPont Family owned it, but it was given to the National Fund, and is in the process of being restored. The restoration should be finished in September 2008. I would like to go back and take the girls, the countryside is beautiful even on a cloudy day.

Barbara's Va President's Tour (70th BD)

We gathered at Michie Tavern for some Lunch. Both of Barbara's children Greg & Christine where there with their families. Peyton is getting so tall, she is now seven, we don't see her as much since she moved to Chicago , but maybe her Mom will work for MM some day and they will live in FL. Eden has had enough touring , she elects to nap on grandfather John's shoulder. Barbara enjoying the Birthday Festivities in Charlottesville

Pinwhell Cake Recipe

This is the Recipe that was handed down to me from Myrtle Fissell (Greg & Melissa's Grandmother) Melissa is now trying to convince Sophia that this is what she wants for her Birthday, so far Sophie is sticking with Hello Kitty.

Hot Cocoa florida Style

What do we like to do in Florida after a Cold Dip in the Pool? We love to have a Hot Cocoa of course!

Paige Socceer

Emma decided she would be a photograher like her Dad at the games. She told us how to pose.

Ex-pert Gutter Cleaning

I fired my former X-Pert Gutter Cleaner because he knocked the cap off my solar panneling while on the roof, which caused the water to start cascading off the roof . I have been up there one time since to clean, but this area over the ceiling fan, I couldn't get to because there was a nest of HUGE ants. Luckily my Son took pity and did the job for me. I wish he would visit more often!

Fissell Family Birthday Cake

We had a special request from Melissa to make the cake that was handed down from her grandmother Myrtle. The copy I had was nearly 40 years old, she had Gil take it to the office and make a xerox copy for me, because the recipe was very long, and it would've taken her too long to write it out by hand. This was a cake that Greg Jr enjoyed for his Birthday, so since he was here, we baked this cake from scratch! Of course, i could not have done it without the help of my littlle grand-daughters. One of them believe she is following in the foot steps of the naked chef.

Emma's Field Day 3.27.08

Emma had Field Day at her school today. They had many different sites set up to challenge the kids. Emma did very good in the backwards scooter run. I believe the favorite was the tug of war, but of course some would disagree and say it was the snow cone booth or face painting stand.

Spring Training 3/20008

Tommy Lasorda meets umpires and Nats Mgr. at home base. Dick and Robert are ready for the game to begin. It was sunny and in the 80's. We all worked on our tans. I thought this was a beautiful field at Space Coast Stadium. Next year we are going to try to take in a Braves game at the WD sports Complex in Orlando.

Goal Weight--WW 3/6/2007

I met my WW Goal Weight

this week, of course I had to get out of my sick bed to be weighed in.

I was sick Wednesday thru Sunday, so I managed to loose 4.6 # this week, when I weighed in on Thursday. It will be interesting to see what numbers I pull this week. I didn't stay for my celebration, but from my previous experience, I now need to maintain that weight for 8 weeks, then I will start monthly meeting. I am going to be like my Aunt Doodie and stay trim for the Rest of My Life. Oh yea, I need to buy some new clothes!
