A very special grandmother
Barbara is so good to her grandchildren...in fact, she's so good to everyone..Those four little ones are truly blessed to be part of her. On what little time she has off from work and taking care of her business ..on her day off ..she takes care of them...all four...and she finds time to do something special with them.. EVERY week. Last week after taking them to the orchard and then preparing supper for eveyone, (which she does at least one day a week) .. she stayed up 'til midnight making "apple cake pops" ...loaded them in three pretty baskets for the boys to take to school the next day..which happened to be "Johnny Appleseed Day"...
...and I get to make videos with the pictures that she takes...:)

Classic hamburger drive-in hangout in Dallas serves cheap burgers and beer by the six pack.
For the past 10 or so years it has been customary for the members of our Dallas family to head over to Keller's late Sunday afternoons...and we always made a point to go there when anyone was in town visiting. On a given Sunday there could be anywhere from 6 to 16 (or more) of the Peete clan showing up...car, truck, SUV, etc...there was loud music, bikers, other family groups or just couples hanging out, enjoying the food and atmosphere.
In Short: Old, dirty, run-down, noisy, hot, crowded....BUT---the best burger in town...chili cheese tots...ummmm.
I miss it.
"This burger joint isn't about the perfect recipe, it's about the style in which it is served. Patrons park their vehicles under one of the many ports and a waitress comes out to greet them and take their order. The grub is brought back to the car for noshing. On weekends, bikers and classic cars enthusiasts fill the lot. The burger menu offers hot dogs, fries and chicken tenders." quote from The Dallas Observer..

I Love Kids
"I like the way they look like little strangers, the first time you see them - totally unrecognizale yet freshly detatched from your own body.
I like how they look in their baby bed the very first time you tuck them in - so small you decide they better sleep in bed with you.
I like the way they yawn with their whole bodies.
I like the dimples in their knees when they first learn to stand
- and I love sleepy hair - you know, how it looks all fuzzy when they first wake up,
I like the way "R's" don't appear in their alphabet until they are at least five years old.
I like how little girls think pink chiffon dresses are divine and little boys wear their cowboy boots with shorts.
I like how they delight in chasing fireflies and blowing dandelions after they've turned into that white fuzzy stuff.
I like how they look the first day of school.
I like the way they love you more than anyone else on earth ever loved you, and how they like you even better when they're grown,
and how, when they have children of their own you can try it once more...and maybe do a little better...because
I like children."

The picture wall
Barb has not had the time to keep her pictures in any kind of order...so I set out to organize them for her. She had a closet full of boxes filled with albumns, frames (some with pictures in them, some without, some new and never used, some older), loose pictures, etc...I still have two boxes of loose pictures to sort through, organize and put in some kind of order..,,but I've finished the "picture-wall" that she wanted.
I think these next three are my favorite pictures...
