The Christmas season

11/29/17
Greetings! As you all know the holiday season is here. Halloween, Thanksgiving, and now Christmas! Everybody is also excited for the December birthdays of Dewey, Grandma, Aunt Zann, and Joe.

One month to 2018! Did you take time to rethink your life?  Did you ask yourself "What have I been doing in the past 11 months?" Well now is the time! I know once you do this questioning your life, you can get a fresh start for 2018.

Okay, that is it for today! I hope you enjoyed!

A Post a Year?

Yeah, that's about it. Lots of blogs don't even do that. I think general blogging for sharing purposes has become much less popular because social media keeps us in touch with one another. Snapchat, Instagram, and (ugh) Facebook have taken over. Oh well. Still, we have done some updating and added family member authors to DewJoy Family Updates. We hope they will keep everyone fully informed of family matters.

Happy New Year!

Kind of "happy" to say goodbye to 2016. We're worried about Trump and hope that he really will help the people who have gotten the short end of the stick during a time of great economic growth. We have low confidence that he will do much.

Besides him, there have been some very good things that happened during the year. Here's a great list.

Also, November and December family pictures have been posted to the picture page.

December Birthdays

We Buffalo Bayers celebrated 3 birthdays this month--Joyce, Zann, and Dewey. One more to go, Joey, after Christmas. But these three are close together. Amy and Peter had us over for a big party. Lots of fun and laughter.

Thanksgiving

The best of the family holidays. We got together at Marc and Mary Fran's for very little football but lots of good family interaction. And Joe started us off with this Thanksgiving Observance.

A Typical After School

Grandma sits for Joe and Charlie on Wednesays. This is what she sees until their parents come home. Society can't seem to decide whether it's good or bad. What do you think?

I now have the blogging app on my phone. That means easy posting. Gotta love it.

Another Google Advance

Brand new PhotoScan app allows accurate photo print scanning. Does a great job transferring all those prints in drawers and albums to digital format. Here's a very old pic of the Dewey Gravers. I have the print by my desk and can now share with others. Will be working on some of those old prints stored away in boxes. Wish I had the app last week in Chicago. Meg has a wonderful portrait print of our father.
