OMG Seven, Seven on Seven, Twelve. Twelve

July is for The Rest of the Family

I dedicated my last pictorial post to the person who most likely 

stood behind the lens to take this picture, so it only seems fair I 

create and equal opportunity moment for the 

other members of my family sans Josh and Ron. 

All four of these "handsome mugs" now belong to Ron and I.  

This weekend Greg literally flew to a mountain top. . .dropped on banded (bended with a wrap, on this I am uncertain) knee and asked,. . . No!  Not his sister,. . .  No! Not his brother, No! Not the camera sister but the pretty women on his right to help him figure out the rest of his life emotionally, socially, spiritually and most importantly, financially. (Took you long enuf, son!)

The last request is kind of a joke because everyone who knows Greg knows he is not very "talkative" when it comes to $$$$.  In fact, he hates to talk about two things: $$$$ and "meat eating."

Greg doesn't mind talking religion or politics or movies, book reviews, current events, geography, history, animals, minerals, vegetables (not meat) and/or the weather. . . but not $$$$.

And by the looks of this picture neither he nor his "FIANCEE" 

(Oh, that has a nice ring!) drink much either. 

(Don't let them fool you .)

And with a bit of luck and a lot of praying just perhaps in the weeks to come the guy on the upper left will have a new future in "finance" and because of the girl on the upper right I will be a Grand Ma Ma!
And then the "girl in Germania" will start grad school and/or come home to roost.

I am sounding a little mysterious because my kiddos moan and groan when I specify their M.O.s on the internet.  So, I will simply state the material facts:
                         1. Greg's fiancee was better friends with Meg in high school then Greg. . . In fact
                           a.  Greg turned her down in HS to a "Girl Ask Boy Event."
                           b.  Both sets of parents are thrilled to death...
                                 these two go together like "Peas and Carrots.
                          
                          2. There is no date set for any wedding and Gretchen has 
                               prepared me for their elopement! 

                         3. Gretchen has also told me I am out of "Penny Talk" minutes
                              which certainly handicap her "social networking on a need 
                              to know basis from Germania."
                               ("Gretchen:  Problem Solved!")

Congrats and Best Wishes and to all a "Goodnight  iPad"
