Hayes Starts School!

Hayes started school a couple of weeks ago. His school day is 9:00 AM until 1:00 PM. He rides the bus to school and the bus drops him off at the Elaine Clark Center for day care after school. In the morning, the bus drops off a middle school load first, then comes by for Hayes. He is the only passenger on this huge bus all the way to school! It was tough the first day but now he is ready to go every morning. Miss Mary is his driver.

Waiting for the bus...


"Bye, bye, Gamma and Granddaddy..."



"Good morning, Miss Mary..."

Kate Visits Atlanta

While her mother attended a conference in Florida, Kate stopped by to spend a long weekend with us. MH took her to the Georgia Aquarium and the Atlanta Center for Puppetry Arts. In addition to seeing a puppet show, she participated in a puppet-making workshop. Below, you see her hard at work, then behind a screen with other kids to show off their work.

She and Hayes both love having Gamma read to them.

Who the Heck is Silver Jim?

You may have noticed that newer posts to this blog were made by someone named "Silver Jim". We changed our posting name because we have recently created a second blog related to our business of buying and selling sterling silver flatware. We use the same log-in for both blogs so we have only one user name - Silver Jim.

Here's a link to the new blog: Silver Chatter .

Answer to Our Squirrel Problem

MH looked out the window around noon on Nov. 2 and noticed this new visitor. We hope the trees around here will look inviting enough for a long stay.
