Things That Make Me Smile... When I Think No One Is Looking!

Little Stinkers!

Great Grandpa Pritchard stealing the thunder of this unexpecting lady.



Mamaw


She's so beautiful..... My mother wasn't even thought of yet, but for some reason this photo makes me want to say, "I miss those days..."



My Great Grandfather, Hugh Pritchard.


I never got to meet him, but EVERYONE's stories of how loving, compassionate and funny he was makes me miss him and look forward to seeing him one day... right next to my Papaw, Hugh's son.



My Papaw, Elwin Archer Pritchard.


I'm not sure what to say... There's just so much! I sooooo miss him and often, when I'm visiting Mamaw, I forget that he's not there. I expect him to come walking down the hallway... I have guilt when I bring a drink into the living room or eat his favorite ice cream out of his bowl... well, not completely guilty! He was so smart and loved to tell riddles and solve old fashion puzzles. He was a huge stinker! He used to wave at us everytime we left his house through his huge picture window. Well, one day my Aunt was leaving and as he went to wave goodbye, flipped her off instead! LOL! I always wondered if that was what he really did to us...


Old Pictures.



My Mamaw and her sister and mother... and I believe the original "Radio Flyer"!



Paw Prints.




While I was working in the garden my kitty came out of nowhere and marched right up my backside to rest on my shoulder. What a weird cat! Unbenounced to me, she left her mark. Which my husband so kindly brought to my attention later.



Juneau.




Juneau was a mitten pawed cat that arrived one day and decided to NEVER EVER LEAVE! She was such an amazing doll that we decided to keep her.




Naughty Sophia.



My sneeky, back climber. Super funny to watch. Never thought I'd be saying that... I feel like the cat lady! Truth be told, if I knew all of my kitties would be like her, I may consider the position.


Rosco and Cletis... sigh...




Though my thoughts of throwing them out of the window has lessoned as each day passes, I really couldn't imagine my house without them.



My men.




Pic says it all... These are the best guys on the planet! Son's taking right after his papa, who (after 14 years of marriage) still opens my car door.


Not embarrassed. Mind wandering.



The best girl I've ever met! It's like I don't even want to tell you everything amazing about her bc I wanna keep her all to myself. Cliche it may sound, loving, giving of herself to the point of slaving for others, uses her brother as her puppet and best friend, funny.... she just gets it!





Make up!!!



You do mine and I'll do yours!!!! LOL!
