Gabe started playing Tball. That is where you bat the ball from a long tube that stands upright on the ground. The day of his opening game was overcast, but the rain held off and he was able to get his first game in. He looks so cute in his uniform. Matthew is helping to coach. I will let you know when I have pictures up of Gabe in his uniform or check my Picasa photo page from time to time.
On April 16, Rhianna had Grandparents' Day at her school. She was the only one who had both sets of grandparents there. We got to watch her interact in class and saw an abbreviated school day in the life of Rhianna.
Emily is growing so big. She will be 2 in July.
Don and Sarah are busy with yardwork and getting flowers planted now that spring is here. Sarah is so meticulous with her flower planting. She takes after her Grandma Clepper, certainly NOT me! Her flowers always look so beautiful. I will have to take some pictures of them and post them for you to see.
The Caribbean
As some of you might already know ~ Dan and I recently took our FIRST Caribbean cruise on March 30. We went with Cristal, Skip, and their son, Derrick. The cruise included visits to Aruba, Curacao, St. Maarten, and St. Thomas.
Dan and I really had a great time and it's a memory that will last a long time. Each day we were up by 7ish and to breakfast by 8. The food was outstanding. If you went hungry it was your own fault.
The weather was great. It only rained twice and that was while we were at sea and late in the afternoon. Dan went snorkeling in Aruba and the two of us jet skied in St. Maarten. Both events were fun. We got to see shows on the ship and for Derrick's birthday we went to a club ~ it was 80s music night, which reminded us of when we use to go to Wanda's (a club in Mechanicsburg, PA).
As I said, Dan and I did have a great time. The only thing we didn't like was not enough time on the islands.
I loaded our Caribbean pictures on Picasa, so check them out when you have a chance. Feedback here or on Picasa is welcomed.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by and to read my blog. If you want to read more about what I'm doing check out my history blog.
Hugs,

Short Web Page Descriptions
Arts & Entertainment shares updates & links on the theatre scene, music entertainment, photograpy and art exhibitions. Highlights in particular: Love, Loss, & What I Wore (Off-Broadway show writen by Nora & Delia Ephron and Karen Carpenter, award winning director). The show is based on Ilene Beckerman's book of the same title.
The Wandering Pen describes places I've traveled to and what is interesting about those places. There is also a piece on this page that explains how to become a travel writer.
The Iditarod Alaska Race has held my attention for many years. I admire the perserverence of the racers and the love they show to their team of dogs. The Iditarod is called "The Last Great Race". Mushers and their team run through some of the most difficult terrain in remote areas of Alaska. The race unofficially begins in Anchorage and ends in Nome. Total miles ran within 14 days is over 1000 miles.
Authors/Writers Thoughts shares books and articles where authors/writers discuss writing. There is also links to podcasts and videos of authors/writers sharing their thoughts on writing. This is a page for anyone who has an interest in writing and publication.
Books to Read gives a select list of books for Adults, Young Adults, and Children to read. Some of the books I have read, while others have been recommended by friends or family.
My Blogs is a list of blogs that share thoughts and news on personal happenings & the writing journey, Native Americans, happenings in the area in which I live, and history/genealogy topics. Most of these blogs are in the early stages and still need some tweeking. Your comments and follows to my blogs are welcomed and appreciated.
Writing Samples is a page where pieces that I have been written throughout the years. Some of these pieces were the very first I've ever written.
Passion for History is a part of this website because it is a hot topic with me. I am a firm believer that if [as a society] we do not know our own family history or the history of the country in which we live than it's difficult to understand who we are. This page explains why studing history is important and shares links to websites of historical interests. Here you will also find photos of Inspiration & Travel, information on the Susquehannock Indians, website on Social Studies/Tolerance of Diverse Cultures, and information on the Clepper & Musser family. There is also the Clepper family tree and the Musser family tree.
Grandmother's Corner has everything to do with being a grandmother. Here are ideas of fun things grandmothers can do with their grandchildren from crafts to recipes.
Family & Teacher Links is a list of blogs and websites of parents and teachers who share the experiences of raising children and teaching them.
