Patrick relaxing on a fishing trip

Camping at Deep Creek, Md

Just Chillin with my pet bird

This is my oldest grandson/nephew Patrick
whom I finally got pics from his Mom
(Thanks Dawn) I miss him dearly.
He has the curliest blonde hair and
beautiful big blue eyes. He lives in
Maryland on a big farm with lots of animals
that my dear sweet daughter/niece and her hubby have.
I have so much fun when I visit them. I wish
all my family could live close by.
They love to go fishing and hunting. Boy
would they love it here.
