Anna & Max at Rambling River 6/5/10

Vivi and J were away, so Nana & I took Meaty and Banany to Rambling River, Petco, Half-Priced Books, and Culvers, occasionally coping with rain and puddles, and having fun exploring.



Papa loves Big trees, and always wants a picture of them, such as will fit.


As the weekend rain intensified we moved indoors to do craft projects, like painting and
moon sand creations

Thanks for watching them! They always get to do TONS of stuff, eat too much junk, and wear weird outfits when Nana and Papa are in charge. :)

The Gentle Smith Matriarch

We met in 1966 when she was 18 and I was 22. We began dating soon afterward, and as I recall never disagreed on much. Our childhood homes were 3000 miles apart and we loved Minnesota and each other, so we got engaged in July 67, married in December and moved into a house with a teenage foster daughter. This was followed by , Daughter 1 the following September, Daughter 2 three years later, Daughter 3, a year and a half later, ..and eventually Son, 3 years later. There were also about 15 different short-term teen-foster boys in those years. The gentle matriarch has worked her whole life, hard. I went to college nights for a few years, she worked outside the home part-time while the kids were growing. She spent frugally, loved lavishly, and has always cared first and foremost about her family. She is a gentle giant who has brought love, fun, discipline, imagination, good food, and artistic, creative homemaking to our big family....and as I write this she's preparing for Easter Dinner...
