Big Blog Anniversary!

Guess what, dear members!?  Its going to be the anniversary of this blog!  Just think, 3 whole years!  Luckily, Grandpa W. found out the date on Sept 1st.  Its September 29th!  I didn't want to forget that day so please put this on you calenders or just keep it in mind!  So you could go on my blog on that day and look at the past blog posts.  I admit, my blog is a site better than it was at the first.  Has anyone of you tried my first solo recipe, Pudding Cake?  I hope you have!  I haven't tasted it since the first!   Thanks for being loyal members thru thick and thin!  Its going to be a great year!  Thanks again!  

 Hetty when she was almost one!  Its one of my favorite pictures!

 Me, when I first got my bangs!  A little bit too giggly, don't you think?

P.S. I want to say something about one of my members who's Clare M.  I am keeping you in my deepest prayers, Clare!  You and your family are in a special corner of my heart!  Love U!


Sincerely, Avimar

Labor Day Greetings!!!

Happy Labor Day, Members, Bloggers, and Family, Friends!  I haven't done a blogpost for crafts in a long time so I shall tell you about the most recent craft the D. Family has made with our dear Grandpa D.  Snakes and Ladders Board Game!  It only takes two medium-sized cardboard pieces.  Use a ruler to draw ladders and squares so that all the cardboard in neatly filled with squares.   Draw big snakes curving down.  Ours is very colorful with engorgement stickers and colorful drawings.  If you know how to play the old-fashioned Chutes and Ladders you can play this game!  I don't have the words to explain the game that well so I'll just say its super fun, you need a dice and the certain number that appears on the dice during your turn you use little things are markers to move up the squares.  The first one to the top wins this game!  Have fun!   I also want to say a big happy birthday to my cousin Joanie and also to my mothers friends little girl whose turning one in late september!  Happy Labor day and God bless!
P.S.  I don't have a picture of the game but here is us and Dad at the Newport Aquarium, ("The Sea And Me") on Slowly the Turtle!(My make believe name for this huge bronze tortoise!) God Bless!

SUMMER BLUES

Hi everybody!  This month has been so busy!  First of all, I got a new cousin named Alba Mary!  She is such a lovely little girlie!  She is in spain with my dear aunt and uncle!  My Grandpa Dauvin has arrived here with my great aunt Amy and and great uncle Lionel.  We had a lovely well spent, visit with them and Grandpa is staying with us till the 25th of this month.  Now he is staying with my uncle Luc.    We are having a ball here!  I have a new cat named Rosa Carmel and her kitten, Marvin Newton which is the boys special pal!  He knows tricks.  Grandpa D. has told us many stories about his childhood and Tarzan!  He tells the best stories about Tarzan.  Have you seen the movie?  Well, these stories are much more exiting and fun!  More monkeys, elephants, tigers, go-away birds, cannibals and sea monsters!  Much more too!   I always feel tense when he comes to the part where Tarzan will be boiled alive from the cannibals, until his loyal friends, the elephants save him!  He only has to call for them!  Jane and their son, Boy have many adventures.   My uncle Darin had his birthday on the 1st and my aunt Louise is having hers next week!  So we've been very busy.   My littlest cousin Joanie is having her 1st birthday on the 25th!  I am still crocheting and am a total crochet and book buff!  Mary has been accompanying me on most of our trips!  We went to the beach!  Mary is my sock-monkey made by my grandmother for christmas 2009!  Have fun this Summer! This is when I was 8!  Grandpa Dauvin is in the middle with us at 4th of July!  You can see  Mary in my lap!  Ro, my cousin is the little cute girl to the right with the polka-dot shirt!  Now she's five and has a brother, Gab!  We've been very blessed with so many family members!  We are quite the Family circus!
