Poem Master Amber! I like that. I have always enjoyed the poems you have written. Please compose more of them. I hope to see you often this summer. I fear you are growing up too fast.
In Language Arts yesterday we made Lymricks,Grandpa this is mine...... There once was a little brown dog, Then he got lost in a bog, He needed to eat, But wanted some meat, So he ended up eating a frog! Do you like it? i Thought it was so funny! Hope to see you soon,I love you!
I lost my arm in the army, I lost my leg in the navy, I lost my balls Over Niagara Falls, And I lost my cock in a lady.
EVERYONE IS NORMAL UNTIL YOU GET TO KNOW THEM.

Congrat's Mark on Graduation! We will see you on Sunday. Thanks Nina, Amber really appreciated your phone call. We had a great time at the beach over the holiday. Thanks Kurt and Colleen for making it possible. Dickie thanks for taking us fishing. We will never forget our experience.
Kurt, how about this for words of wisdom? "THE FAULTS YOU SEE IN OTHERS ARE USUALLY YOUR OWN." That is Mama's favorite. And this is mine. "IF YOU WANT PEACE, PREPARE FOR WAR."
Mama and Dad thanks for letting us use your bikes. I will let you know how the first ride goes. Love you!
Hey Amber sorry you you are sick. I wish you a speedy recovery. Claude and I took Erik and Jenn to the airport this AM bright and earlier. They are off to Karatan to suba dive for the week. We have their two dogs. Mark will graduate on Saturday and all are invited to a New England seafood boil next Sunday at 4 PM at the Shipley's. See you there. Love you!

Amber, I am sorry you are sick today. I know a sore throat and fever are no fun. Feel better, for your chorus concert tonight.
Hunter, Great game. I love watching you play
What a wonderful day! We left the house at 8.45Am and drove to the boat ramp on the Wakulla River. After boating up, we headed up the river. Nina and Claude, Christy and Kurt and Hunter and Amber each in their own boat. Along the way we saw several kites and manatee. Its fun to be with our family. We missed those who were not with us. Perhaps next time we can all get out on the river and make a day of it.
Hunter, you have come a long way. You look so good and we know you are good at what ever you do. Keep it up, We love you.
Yes, Aunt Leona saw it. When I went out with Buddy at 10 PM, it was misting and cloudy so we went back in and hit the sack.
Dad we have to go see tha matrix saturday,you made it sound like it was very very good!!!! So satrurday when i get home from Averys, we should all go and see it. I cant wait!!!!!
Great design on the Web site Kurt. Mark enjoyed the movie outing. YOu are both nuts to stay up that late for a movie. I guess Claude and I will go see it this weekend and go out on a date for Claude's BD. School is almost out. I know Christy and the kids are happy. CLaude's mother is coming for Mark's graduation on the 31st. We are delighted. Love you all.
Dad, thank you for your kind words. Nina and I are very pleased with being able to share our lives with you and the rest of the family. It is so nice to have family to share life's events like a 50th birthday.
Dear Family, I do want to thank you all for helping to make my birthday and Mother's Day a very special time. Each year just gets better. I thank you for all your gifts and kind words. I love you all.
Happy Birthday Claude!How glad we are that you moved your family here to Tally. We thoroughly enjoy your company and look forward to your visits. We think of you as our son and we love you very much. Have a happy birthday. While half of your life is over, remember that you still have another half century to do what ever you wish. We hope that some day you will also enjoy the pleasures of being a grandpa. Love, Mama and Dad
Kurt, What a great picture of the blue jay. The picture of Conor is the best I have seen. We sure enjoyed your visit with us today. We love you.
Kurt, What a great picture of the blue jay. The picture of Conor is the best I have seen. We sure enjoyed your visit with us today. We love you.
Kurt, the new design to the web site is great!You are a real pro. I like the way you have set up the pictures I have taken. It is a visual history of our family. I encourage all of the family to take pictures and send them to Kurt. Your input makes Actnuts even more oriented toward the family.
Kurt: Haven't been to the site in awhile; great redesign!! Also you look great with your diet results as does Hunter with his no soda approach. We really enjoyed Mothers' Day at the park--many thanks to Mom and Dad for getting a nice place with tables for everyone. Thanks to everyone for the nice presents---Lowes, the plant (a great tree in the future), the new monitor and the smart A-- comments of my seasoned aging:>) Love to all and thanks again for a wonderful time.
Kurt, I want to thank you again for Actnuts. What a great family history. If only my parents had the ability to record their thoughts, memories and pictures. I loved to read Amber's poem. She is so talented in so many ways. We all can be proud of her.
Amber, your poem is so very beautiful. You have a special talent. I wish you had been at the party when the Mothers Day ceremony was held. I would have asked you to read your poem to the mothers. I love you.
What a great Mother's Day we had yesterday. Fun at McClay was one of the best we've ever had. Mama and I thank you all for making it a memorable occasion.
We had a super time at the PArk for Mother's Day. Thank you for the lovely poem Dad and Mama I remember the day you bought that pitcher. I don't think I had been to an auction since then. Love you all.
Happy Mothers Day! We oue our mother the most important thing...LIFE.
Happy Birthday G-ma. We love you
Happy Birthday Mom and thank you for all you do.
Happy Birthday Mom! I love you!

Happy Birthday Sarah! Today you are eleven years old. Oh to be young again. We all wish you a happy birthday and many many many more to come
We do not have the movie.
Does anyone have our movie "Ice Age"? Hunter is wanting to watch it and we loaned it out and haven't gotten it back. Please let me know if you have it. Thanks christy
Thank you Kurt. Once you were a little boy and I tried to teach you how to tie your shoe strings. Now you are the teacher and you have taught me how to down-load music and pictures and, and, and. I love you. Thank you for blowing off the roof. You and Amber are great and wonderful.
Hey Kurt, thanks for putting Brian's house up on the site. They really are moving along with it. Thanks again.
THIS NEW DESIGN STINKS!!!
Amber and Hunter glad to have both of you back.
When I watched our President land on the deck of the Abraham Lincoln, it was a thrill to me. When he got out of the jet, he was dressed in a flight suit and almost almost immediately, he was surrounded by hundreds of sailors wanting to be seen with their President and to shake his hand. It was so evident that he was both respected and loved. At long last, we who fought in Vietnam have a leader that we can look up to. Character does matter. When Clnton appeared with the troops, no one would volunteer to be photographed with him. Their commander had to "volunteer" men to be photographed with Clinton.
Churchill once said about the RAF during WW2 that, "Never have so many owed so much to so few." Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld said of the anti-war protestors that, "Never have so many been so wrong about so much."
Hunter have a great trip to St. Augustine tomorrow!! I will see you at 10pm. Amber have fun at your sleep over and don't stay up to late. It makes you grumpy!!!!!!!!!
Erik and Jen, it was good to see you guys last night at the slipper! Congrats Jen on Graduation!! See you soon
Sarah, Wow what a good softball player you are! I saw two good hits and some good fielding. You guys were kicking butt. Good to see Adam also. The girls at school ask me if I know you, then say "He's so cooooool"
