Golden Phrogs Has A New Post

Missy, thank you for asking for this history. Sorry it took me so long to respond. Love Dad

Flat Heads

Missletoe - I have a request for you! Remember when Steve and I were in Boston and you lamented to us about the tragedy you continue to see on infants - flat heads? Well you had several theories on preventative measures to ensure a perfectly rounded head. Please refresh my memory as to what those items are so that Isabella doesn't end up like those other sorry suckers you see. Thanks!

A Star Is Born!

Lil" Miss was absolutely outstanding in her school's musical "Seusical the Musical". She was one of the fabulous "Bird Girls" that were on the stage at least 75 to 80% of the time. Sweet, but sassy and looking much too grown up in her 4 inch heels. (How can anyone really wear heels "that" tall and walk....how could you possible keep your balance and dance?) Lil' Miss did prance and danced in the heels. Thanks for letting us come to see the production. It was so much fun. We loved every moment of it. I am totally amazed with the choral teacher and how she got over 120 Jr. High kids to really put on a great show. She really is Wonder Woman. I thought everyone would enjoy some pictures.

Golden Phrog Request

I have a couple of Golden Phrog requests.

#1 Bampa, could you please write up the story of Grandpa's heart attack and how your relatives would come visit on Saturday and leave $10 on the kitchen table.

#2 Glama, could you please write up the Grandma Smith story of her doing fundraising for the U of U medical school and how she would give tours. I seem to remember her refusing to give tours of the gross anatomy lab after seeing a red-headed lady's head floating in the jar.

I have recently re-told these stories to the young toads and realized I was lacking on actual details and had to take poetic license.

You're the best!

I found these wonderful quotes by Wallace Stegner, the dean of conservation, and western writers. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Hello, Is Anyone Out There?

I'm getting really tired of looking at me in my Harley Hat. That picture has been front page on Phrogbottom Phorum long enough. I need news! There is not enough chatter on the other family blogs either. Of course that is my taste. I need information!

It is almost 2:30 am on Wednesday morning. I am bloging in bed watching a KUED fundraiser on the 50'-60's Doo Wop Hits! Pitty you never felt the joy of the Friday afternoon "record rally" at Central Jr. High. This was an experience in pure terror. 6th Period gym class. Artificial pairing of 13 year olds and forced to dance every dance. If it were not for the great music I'm sure there would have been mass revolt. Thank goodness for the "Big Bopper".
