The Turner Family

The distribution begins. Ginger and Jason Walker. Gary and Ginger Walker. Nick and his beloved Spartans. The Walkers and their grandkids. The hosts.

Sophie is the guest of honor with Miss Andra and the Grand Ledge Cooperative Preschool 4-year old P.M. class. Sophia and the Mickey Mouse cake choice that Tiff whipped up nicely, with Josh in the background. The requested Easy Bake oven .

The Neff squad. The great defender, rebounder, and scorer. The all-important stretching session. Pre-game. Last second preparations. Game action.

Perhaps my favorite Grandma photos, with Sophia at about 9 months.

These pictures represent a quick posting of the photos we have of Grandma on our iMac. More may be burned to discs that are in our desk, and which I'll be checking this weekend. Enjoy, reflect, comment, and post your photos as well.

I know, I know, the topic of this entry is hardly earth-shattering, nor is it necessarily Turner-related. But in my trot over to Neff Elementary yesterday in the rain, it was hard not to notice all of the worms wriggling on the sidewalk, attempting to not drown with all the water in the ground. Knowing the approaching cold front, I figured all of the worms were going to be caught up outside and frozen. Cut to today, GLPS has a snow day, the kids and I troop outside to shovel mushy slush off the sidewalk and to generally exercise. What are the contents of the slush, what is it that is in the shovel? Not-so-wriggly worms. This is what happens to a guy that has a commute now for the first time in 12 or so years, and is alone with his NPR and his thoughts.

Took the door and frame to the upstairs down to put in new door. The new door will be wider and match the rest of the doors in the house. Dad and I added 2 x 4 to the bottom of all floor/ceiling joists to stiffen them up. Also added insulation for sound deadening. Added a 2 x 6 inch wall to hide some heat ducts in.

Here are some pictures from around Madison: our terrace garden in the summer (we just took it down on Sunday, so it now looks very bare); I spent some time working under that blue umbrella; a "human cat tree"; Tour de France enthusiasm led to new bikes (and gear!), which was the summer highlight; our cat Tony lounging in front of new curtains and fitting right in (winter). Can't wait to see you all! Love, Harry

Wow, this blog has been active! I checked in after a few months and thought you guys might like to see some photos. These are from our trip to Turkey this past summer. See you soon! Love, Harry
