The Guys





Andy and Brody came to spend the weekend at Camp Nelson. Pop Gene (Brody's name for grandpa) couldn't wait to take the little dude on tractor rides and the 4 wheeler. They spent time making things with Playdough and digging up earthworms in my raised vegetable bed. And he was very interested in the horses, to the extent that we almost needed a leash on him to prevent Brody from running between their legs! Not long after their arrival, Brody was looking very closely at some of my lovely, fragile things, on the shelves by the dining room table. I told him that they were only to look at, and that he was not to touch them. He gave us this look, over his shoulder, that said "well if you didn't want me to touch them, why did you put them here?" It just cracked us up! His vocabulary is improving rapidly and we can understand most things he says. What a funny little boy.
It's going to be 80 degrees today, great weather for March! I'm going to get outside and do some garden clean-up; I'm starting to see shoots coming up and trees budding. This is such a great time of year.
Love to all, Joan
