My first grandbaby....
Phoebe Ellen.
Click on her picture for more pics.
We're in danger of losing Phoebe to her other grandmother.
The woman (I'm thinking really bad words and thoughts here)
wants Phoebe for her own, and may very well succeed.
Court sanctioned kidnapping in the United States of America.
Ugly.
My beloved baby brother is ALSO amazing!!!
Bob is the Director of the American Red Cross for about 5 counties around the Conroe, Texas area. These 5 counties are slightly bigger than the State of Rhode Island. The man LIVES and BREATHES the American Red Cross. He teaches kayaking, First Aid and CPR, an Instructor Course for First Aid and CPR, swimming and all the little things that can bedevil you in the water, and sailing. All this he does AS A VOLUNTEER!!! He also trots all over this 5 county area and helps after fires, flood, tornadoes, and whatever other natural or man-made disaster occurs. This he gets paid for.
Brother Bob is BIG!!! 6'4, 250lbs. of MAN!!! (pokes Brother Bob in ribs and grins) He also plays racketball, basketball, AND keeps his house and yard in military immaculate condition. HE spent 10 years as a Tanker in the United States Army. I love him, but if there was ever a "Type A" personality born, he's it!!
This first site of his deals with The Boy Scouts of America and the work they do down in Texas. He works a great deal with these kids and they and their families are AWESOME in their volunteer work for the American Red Cross in the Conroe, Texas area.

COUSIN CHARLIE: I don't know Cousin Charlie very well. Our family split long ago, in our fathers' time. Cousin Charlie's father left for California before I was even a gleam in an eye. Cousin Charlie is a stone trip, though. I believe my penchant for babbling is genetic, 'cause the man has me beat hands down in the non-stop talk department. COUSIN CHARLIE HAS A VERY SPECIAL WEB SITE. Cousin Charlie has even been on TV!! A documentary about the Scout Dogs of the Military. Please give the site a try no matter what your belief system is ....about Big Brother and all.
