Marilyn and Mom.....

Picture is from Jonathan and Randi's Shower. Soon to have a Great Grand Daughter, Great Grandma Moffat and Aunt Marilyn attended the shower along with other family members and a great time was had by all... Speaking of the two... (Mom and MK) they are having a garage sale yesterday and today!! Phil and Jake have added in some things, too, so it is a big one, but through the grapevine, I heard Mom is about ready to fire all of them, as she has only sold a dollar's worth of things. This is something that they do each fall and sometimes in the spring too. Later...

Look who was in our local paper, The Stillwater News Press today. For those who do not know, this great man is Andrew Paul Blankinship's Grandfather, Roy Blankinship, Paul's dad. He has a fantastic career in law enforcement in Payne County retiring from the Stillwater Police Dept. for a few days and going full time with the Payne County Sheriff's Department. Roy and Joan live east of Heather and Paul's a few miles, where they own and operate a large farm and ranch. They run cattle, well, a little of everything, including a Boer goat herd they are constantly working to improve. They are great folks, and super grandparents to Andrew!! And they are two of the nicest folks you would ever meet! I honestly can say that Roy's friendship has meant a bunch to me over the years. I am truly glad we crossed paths!! Enjoy the day... I will try to get original from NewPress MAYBE....

Working on family lines...

Still working on the family lines.. from its past to it's future.. wow, am I learning a lot of things I did not know. Probably was told, but forgot!! Age, I think!
If you don't mind, look at the calendar and see if I have dates to things that you are aware of ... correctly entered.
Tammy and Heather and Randi are working on things for me.. to add, and I have sent emails to LaNeta, Joanna, and Aunt Agnes for updates and information.
Best to all.. s

Homer says....

You can't keep blaming yourself. Just blame yourself once, and move on.

Oh my... if she only knew... haha....

Great!
The picture shows that this soldier has been thru Survival School and learned his lessons well. He's giving the sign of "coercion" with his left hand. These hand signs are taught in survival school to be used by POW's as a method of posing messages back to our intelligence services who may view the photo or video. This guy was obviously being coerced into shaking hands with Hillary Clinton. It's ironic how little she knew that he would so inform us about the photo - - - perhaps because she's never understood our brave military to begin with .

Got this from some family members this am and thought we would share it with all of you... You know where I stand, and not trying to make a statement about politics... however, it does show not everyone thinks she is as good as she thinks! Enjoy the day and thanks m for the pic...

Uncle Ivan... Jon... etc...

Wanted everyone to know that Uncle Ivan is in Parkview Hospital, El Reno, with a virus.. nasty one, I believe. I talked with Aunt Freda Sunday mid afternoon and she reported that we should not visit till they know for sure what he has is not spreadable! The address to send a card, etc. is: Ivan Moffat,Patient c/o Parkview Hospital, 2115 Parkview Dr. El Reno, OK 73036. To call the room direct, dial 1 405 295 1031.
They thought they might go home this day.. but early on, Uncle Ivan had a bad spell with food, so they are still there. Will stay in touch and let you know. He has not been feeling well since Dad's funeral. (Kind'a sounds like HIB.. that Dad had and was in Baptist Hosptial in OKC with when the Bombing occured!)
Aunt Freda's spirit's were good, and she has a stiff upper lip! If you get a chance and want to send an email, their email address is linked on the left side of this blog towards the bottom of all links.. or email to: imoffat@juno.com.

Jonathan, on another note, spent most of last week and weekend in Tishmingo, or driving back and forth to home in Roff... to attend the 2004 Chickasaw Annual Meeting & Festival, and take pictures for thier website. He should have some awesome ones to look at!

Heather and Paul went to a couple of Goat Sales this past Saturday and reported that registered Boer Goats were selling very high. This is the breed they raise. Said they saw one sell for 2100 dollars and many others as high or higher.

Phillip stopped by Saturday to show us some pictures he had printed of Austyn playing at school. They looked awesome. Will try to put them up later on...

Jake is on way to get his car tag this am. Dr. Shultz got home from a "mini vacation"... he and Barbara went to New England to tour Fall Foliage, and reported to Jake it was very beautiful this time of year. They returned home Saturday, and Jake and he got together yesterday afternoon so Jake could brief him on Ranch Activities, such as new baby heifer born last Thursday, feeding, cattle, etc...

Guess this is about it for now. If you wish Ivan's home address to send a card, email Marilyn and she will share it with you, or Joanna has it as well.

Later.. S

Look who came to play yesterday afternoon... Yelp, ole' Andrew.. Seems Mom and Dad were off to the Boer Goat sales in the county... at Perkins and in Stillwater at Fairgrounds, and decided that maybe Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Jake might like to "Play" with Andrew... and they were right!! We had a ball. This was one of the few times he was still!! Earlier he saw Phil drive up and he started hollaring "Austyn, Austyn, Austyn"... and almost broke down the door, however, Austyn was not with Phil, so he was very disappointed, and it took a bit to calm down. It is really neat to see who close the boys have become. Hopefully, the being close will last a lifetime!! Enjoy! Have a great day!!
