First birthday

Wow, I missed a very important date yesterday. Can you guess what it was?

You can look at these pictures and meditate on what it might be that I missed.

Still haven't got it? Yesterday was the blog's first birthday! That's right, I've been a blogger for an entire year now. It's been really fun so far, and I hope that all of my readers enjoy visiting me here.

Happy Birthday, Grandaddy!

Today would be my Grandaddy's 89th birthday.  I love him lots, and he loved me. 
Here are some (of the many) interesting things about him. He was born in Minnesota, and received all his education from the Minnesota system of public education. He served in the Navy during WWII, but he never saw action.  He earned a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Minnesota, and worked for DuPont for 30 years.  He and Grams did an excellent job of raising Kanga, Auntie K., and Uncle L. 
We all miss him lots.
Unfortunately, Roo can't seem to post pictures from this computer. :(

Grandaddy would never have bathed me....:-/

Lots of love to everyone,
Rosie:)

Why we put out flags on Flag Day.

Howdy folks, Rosie the Historian here. You may or may not be aware of the fact that today, June 14th is Flag Day. You may or may not be wondering why we have a special day devoted to putting out flags. Well, it's like this.  65 years ago today this happened. :

Yes, the bride and groom would be Grams and Grandaddy in case you couldn't tell.

Grams made her own dress! Sure is beautiful isn't it?

And everyone was so happy that  June 14th was declared to be Flag Day to celebrate! Well, at least that's what I say.  Anyway, while sadly Grandaddy is not here to celebrate,  I still say Happy Anniversary to the best Grams and Grandaddy in the world, and now you can feel very educated that you too know the real meaning behind Flag Day!
