Happy Birthday Grandpa Bill!!

Saturday lunch at Granpa Bill and Patty's house in Weleetka, OK.

Donnie and Brendan. Who's naptime is it?

Grandma Patty. Sitting still at last.

Partaking of BBQ and all the fixings.

Grandma Patty and Grandpa Bill, the birthday fellow.

Brendan playing in the mirror. He's a happy little dude!

Brendan wiggles and Donnie fails to rest.

Aonica, Brendan and Tre play cards.

Well, mostly Aonica and Tre. Brendan was about to pounce.

Watermelon for everyone! I love Aonica's laugh!!!

There's the birthday boy with the only recently one year old birthday boy.

A portrait on the back porch.

Tre conquers Aonica.

Working on the ones, tens, hundreds and thousands.

Tre is so much fun!

Grandpa Bill's flower bed.

Tre has unusual sleeping habits.

He knew I was there. He likes to entertain me.

Toasting with the melon!

Brendan (obscured) and Tre play with the little noisy train.

To Monetize Or Not To Monetize

AdSense has always been an available option here on Blogspot. However, up to this point, I knew only two people who even glanced at this blog regularly. Do I want my blog to post ads to those two people? It wouldn't even make a dime, so what's the point? I think for now I'll keep the blog ad free. I can't imagine getting a following where such ping reporting would amount to more than a gumball.

What's a gumball cost these days?
