The Kids

Ana and Nicki throwing rocks in the Big Muddy

On the way from Cartersville, Georgia, to Effie, Louisiana you cross the Mississippi at Natchez.

It is a lazy ole River, not rushing along, just taking it easy on a warm sunny day. The kids wanted to get out and take a look close up, so we stopped, and drove down to the shore and tossed some rocks into the Big Muddy. It made our day, when a huge barge came down the river pushing cargo down to maybe New Orleans........


ana playing cards

Ana is learning how to play cards, she is getting pretty good at the shuffling thang......

Ana starts 6th grade this next year. School begins here in Georgia on the 8th of August. Pretty early to my way of thinking. They actually only get about 2 months for the summer vacation.


Nicki's 6th birthday

Nicki's 6th Birthday Party, at McDonalkd's.

Nicki is going into first grade. He did pretty good this year in Kindergarten, although I think he is the first child to have ever had 6 teachers in one year. That has to be some kind of a first. He began school in Louisiana with his first teacher, then came to Georgia, and began in Mrs. Wade's class. Since he was a new student and they needed to form a new kindergarten do to class size, they put him in a newly created class under the instruction of Mrs. Shadday. At the end of April she left on a maternity leave and they had an interrim teacher, Mrs. Kleiber. She taught for only one week, and then Mrs. Bishop took over for another week. Now they have Mrs. Cline for the last three weeks of school. Count them, 6 teachers in one year, now that is flexibility.........for a 5/6 year old.
