Intro


Ok... Like most other blogs I've seen, this one starts " This is my first attempt... Blah blah blah

You may be wondering how this page got it's name. My wife and I were married in St Marks Wildlife Refuge in Florida's Big Bend Area, the far South Eastern edge of the Mississippi Flyway. We have now "migrated" like so many of the birds we love to the far northern part of the flyway, our lovely state Minnesota.

The purpose of this blog is to post pictures from Sandie and I so our family and friends can view them. We also plan to post our news, ideas, and views. I hope you enjoy this spot and that the content will encourage you to come back often.

Downrigger1 said...

HEY ISSY!! Thanks for visiting!!

Nice job, Bob and Sandie. I love seeing your nature photography! I seem to remember a conversation Bob and I had once about Iowans having to love the color brown. We were driving down some Iowa roadway and that's about all we saw--whether it was dark brown dirt, light tan cornstalks, brown trees, etc. Gotta love nature!
P.S. So do you know who "Olive" is?

Caleb, Gabe, and Kylie all need tshirts that say "My Grandparents Are Soooooo Gonna Blog About This."

:) Thanks for taking the time to set this up, can't wait to check in on the pics and such. :)

Andy..."If I don't behave my Grandparents will just blog about me"

Breez said...

Gray is still biking? Rig, you need a photo here of him and the ice!

Sharon/Issy

Do we HAVE to use the word verification every time? *whining here*

Downrigger1 said...

Whiner.... I have removed word verification for now.

Breez said...

Thank you very much. Now I don't have to whine, takes up sooooo much energy!

ExQueen of the Whiners!

Olive said...

That's right, Bob, although I haven't used that nickname since 1976.

Downrigger1 said...

olive... 1976??? gee whiz how old are you? *Grin*

Olive said...

Younger than you!

Downrigger1 said...

ok now that was just cruel!!

Olive said...

My bad.

Downrigger1 said...

Olive... I hope you didn't take that seriously? *grin*

Olive said...

No way! Hard to read intonation in an online conversation, isn't it? So, what're you doing these days? I'm trying not to work while at work.

Breez said...

Not to slip back into old habits, but everyone is younger than Bob, including dirt! *LOL*



OK, reverting to being nice again, the "other" me has to jump out every-so-often! *teehee*

Downrigger1 said...

Issy... Older than dirt? You should know you were around when dirt was created.

Breez said...

Bob, not me! *batting eyes & wiping dirt off face*

Downrigger1 said...

Handing Breez a moist towelette and a jug of Clorox.

Olive said...

So sorry to have started the age comments, Bob. Keep a stiff upper lip. So here's my recent story: as the mother of a 9-year-old (an older mother at that), Katie looked at me the other day and said "I wish your skin wasn't so droopy." And here I was feeling really good about myself--losing some weight, doing yoga, attempting to "stay young." Reality bites.

Downrigger1 said...

OLIVE.... The correct comeback is " I wish you weren't so short" *SMILE*

Breez said...

*tapping foot at Bob* Watch it with those SHORT comments, pal!!!
