The First Post on my NEW GREEN ACRES

                                   C O W    P O O P
I have decided to go with a blog format for the family web site.  I have endured endless frustration with the Yahoo web site.  So I'm throwing in the towel and giving this format a try.  I know the look is different, but I hope you will still enjoy it.  Some posts may be rather short, but I should be able to update more frequently, keeping up with current news and photos.
 Be sure to sign on as a follower so we can all see how many in our big family are checking in
Regarding the pictures I post:  If you want to see a larger view of the photo, just click on it.
Wishing you all many  happy times in Green Acres!  Cindy


Nancy's homemade apple pie---YUM!
One last post from summer:  Allison and Andrew had lots of birthdays to celebrate!

Lew hired a man that lives up the hill from us to go up into our woods and widen the paths with his dozer.  This man has a huge metal barn, full of tractors (newer and antiques) and all sorts of heavy-duty equipment.  He's 77 and still going strong!  He used to be an operator on construction, so he and Lew have lots in common.
Kate came to vist mom Patty and other family in September.

Could this be ELI MANNING---my fantasyQB?!
Fantasy Football Standings as of 9/27:

Others playing in Andrew's league---the FOURTH AND LONG CROWD Dawn, Nancy, Barry, Rebecca, Chris, Cathy, Matt, Emily, Roy, Gary F., Jr. and moi.  Boy, the smack talk in this league really stings! :)

Hot off the presses:  Pi Man just sent this to me.


Saturday, September 25:  Timmy ran a 5K (3.1 mile) race and finished in first place in the male, 50-54 age group.  He turned 53 this past Monday.  Not too shabby!

  2. Welcome to the Blogging World... again. I like the site, too. BTW, I placed 1st in my age group in that race above (9th male and 10th person overall).

  3. Blogging is what it's all about :-) I just hope that those who are new to the blog world can figure everything out.
    (Example A: Eveyone should be sure to sign their comments so they don't end up just showing up as "anonymous" like above.)
    What I DO like about the blog format is that it will show up in my Google Reader whenever you update :-)

    I think Brendan's treat is my favorite of Allison's creations- very original.

    Congratulations to Uncle Tim...we never knew you were a RUNNER!!! Heeheehee :-P

  5. It looks great Aunt Cindy! Andy is listed as a "follower" so I can't be since we share a computer, but when I comment I will try to remember to sign my name! -Allison
