NOT MY FAMILY-WHY ARE WE HERE?

So...WHAT are WE

doing at this family reunion?

Well....it's a long story...

but...

every year we are invited to

the R family reunion.

It is held on the

Grandmama R's farm.

You would not believe

the work that she has done

to this place.

Can you believe that 

this is a corn crib?

It is a special hideaway

for the kids in the family...

and some of us adults

that love 

Magical Places.

Can you see the trumpet

vine that covers it?

And, just past the corn crib

is this gorgeous area that

has been cleared and beautified.

More? You want to see more?

Magical, isn't it?

What? You want to see more yet?

Okay- ONE MORE PICTURE-

Grandmama R's hubby passed

away a little while ago.

She found a whole new

creative outlet and 

painted a picture for

each child, and grandchild,

in her family.

They drew numbers and

each got to pick one

to take home with them.

HEY!  How come I didn't get

a number?  I am almost family~

Here she is holding court

surrounded by all her wonderful

pictures. 

I won't tell you how old she is

but let's just say she won't see

the North side of 80 again.

Isn't she cute?

She is SOOO full of life 

and has such a positive outlook

on everything.

She brightens the life of 

everyone around her.

We talked and ate too much.

We said a prayer again for

Jessica as she goes through

her grueling chemo treatments.

Please remember to keep

her in your prayers.

You can read her story here.

Isn't she a beautiful, brave girl?

 Now...you wonder how we get invited

to this special reunion every year?

Well, we are connected.

How, you ask?

Well, this is MyHeros

"other wife", Mikey-baby.

His movie and dinner date.

He is the son-in-law 

of Grandmama R.

Aren't THEY special?

I wish he could talk 

Mikey-baby into coming over

and cooking and cleaning.

*sigh*

I think I am stuck with the

real wife's jobs

while Mikey-baby has all the fun!
