The azaleas are in bloom...

When I was a little girl, my mother would dress my sisters and me in some darling spring attire and drive us to our Mema's

house to take pictures in her famous azaleas bushes when in bloom...so Mema and mom...this first picture post is a tribute to you. As you might be able to tell, the azaleas are in bloom both hither and yon--at our house and my moms...I am quite pleased because I was told that azaleas would not grow in the non-acidic soil we have here in Bryan, TX. However, despite discouraging remarks...our plants have produced, our soil has succeeded and I was not going to miss out on capturing the lovely blooms with my lovely child nestled in the middle of all the beautiful foliage! I couldn't choose just one...narrowing it down from the literal 20 was most difficult...so you get to pick your favorite. 

  

What has the world come to?

I never thought I would see the day (nor did you)...but after many months of subtle innuendos and much harassing from friends and family alike...I have succumbed to peer pressure and have created a blog so that everyone can now see and keep up with our world. I'm flattered that anyone reading this is interested in how we spend our days...digging in the dirt, taking wagon rides around the neighborhood, playing with bubbles and such. I hope you all enjoy seeing little Mac grow up and that you are all FINALLY satisfied. I am personally pleased with the blog address...kudos to Ella Marie Harr Payne for her creative insight!  A word of caution however...I have NO idea what I am doing because of my technological deficiencies. I still have not figured out how to post a picture. (I can already feel my shoulders and my back tightening up as I have spent time trying to understand this thing called a blog...I know...I'm living in the stone age!)
