What Are You Doing For Excitement Today?

     Or perhaps, Richard.

I've heard James as there has not been a King James for a while.

George Alexander Louis.  How about that?

I thought that mayhap they would name him Diana, as much hype that name was getting. What a shame to drag all that garbage up at the birth of this sweet baby. And hardly a mention of his beautiful mother who did all the work! Too bad!

Pretty Kate even wore a polka dot dress as she showed off that adorable boy. They are a very nice looking couple. I wish them all well.

Back home from the picnic. A fantastic afternoon with lots of happy friends ,plenty of food and crabs and beautiful weather. They had a new bounce house this time. It is huge! Very tall on one side with a climb up, then slide down wet slide thing and an area behind it with rooms and tubes to crawl through. I'd never seen anything like it.

   Yup.

We enjoyed the Hebb Family Reunion in Howard today.  This is the 78th continuous year this family has gathered together, and I think our ancestors would be pleased that we are continuing to get together yearly after they began the tradition in 1935.  Four family members who attended in 1935 were in attendance today.  Quite a heritage......

It was a really nice day.  A couple who are friends of our son, and us as well, invited us down to their house in Yorba Linda for a BBQ.  They have two children and two grandchildren.  And, of course, we have two children and now four grandchildren.  That was the extent of the crowd.  He and I are only two days apart in age (I'm older.)  She is about a year older than my wife.  My son had purchased one of those bouncy houses and set it up in the back yard for the kids to play in.  It was a warm day at first with everyone staying inside, but as the day went on, a breeze came up and the temp went down making the shaded patio the place to be.  There was ribs and chicken, beans, veggies, chips and dip, watermelon, potato salad, all the stuff you normally have at a BBQ.  I noticed my daughter-in-law sitting at the dining table holding the baby while trying to eat.  I sat beside her (any excuse will do) and offered to hold the baby while she ate.  I think she loves me even more now. 

A fun day.

My son and family have made their bi-annual move this last weekend.  They rent a place at the beach during the off-season as I have mentioned before.  We will be going down today to spend some fun time with them.  Last week, he had a mishap with his BMW while coming home from Bakersfield where he has a client.  Not an accident, but the engine blew after 272,000 miles.  He didn't put all those miles on it as he bought it used, but the "beemer" is no more.  There is an extra car at his mother-in-law's house for him to use and we will go by there and drive it down to the beach for him today.  I believe we will be spending most of the time at the American Legion Post having lunch and enjoying the sights and sounds of some good music and the boats passing by.  Our new grandson is doing great weighing in at almost ten pounds now.  Granddaughter #3 will turn 3 on the 21st.  Promises to be a good day.
