These wonderful fragrant vinning white flowers are cascading over the briers and bushes along the bayou side , They look like a dusting of snow in the middle of summer. I had to stop and photograph them . The aroma was flowing out into the heat waves and surrounded you in sweetness.




This is the 4th grandson, Daylon Lane Gonzales who will be 1 year old on the 25th of August. He is walking now and like my other grandsons, his favorite bathing place is the kitchen sink. I think they like the idea they can reach the knobs and the faucet. He is like his dad and his brother before him in that he is smiling all the time. He was home this last weekend and is coming back this coming weekend.

AREN'T THESE OLD HOUSES REALLY NEAT. I LOVE THE DETAIL WORK ON EACH AND THE COLORS . THESE WERE HOMES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE MY GRANDMA LIVED. I USED TO WALK PAST THESE HOUSES ON MY WAY TO HER HOUSE. IT IS WONDERFUL TO SEE THEM SO UPDATED AND BEAUTIFUL. I THINK SOME OF THE NEIGHBORS THOUGHT I WAS "SCOPING OUT THE PLACES".


Look at my future football hero. Tate Fields will be playing football for Chackbay. He loves the sport and his dad is helping coach him. I have to get to one of these practices.
