My brother as a very young man, just enlisted in the Marines. |
Here I am, the oldest, with my sister, Robin and my brother, Bubba. |
Bubba and Deputy Dave on our acreage, practicing shooting. |
My brother and an old friend, as he's gearing up for a military assignment. |
Here's a more recent photo of my brother and his family. His wife, Mary and his three children...lots of fun going on here. |
My brother and the kitty, connecting. |
My brother and my dad. Two hairy men, but dad is losing hair these days. Good for him, less maintenance. |
Bubba holding his girl as he says goodbye to his mom and his daughter says goodbye to her beloved grandmother. |
My dad, me, my Aunt Peggy, Bubba and Robin |
Bubba and his oldest son...the tradition of hairy men in the family definitely continues. |
My brother, in nature, where he thrives. Big Bend is one of his favorite places to visit. |
Outdoors = Giddy Man |
Actually, all three of us kids, me, my sister and my brother...we all love the outdoors and can rough it with enjoyment. We grew up with a good portion of our lives learning how to rough it. We never went on a family vacation, unless we were camping. That's how it went folks.
I love my brother, even if he is a big dork! |
Having a brother meant that I got to play with a lot of cool toys. One thing is for sure, the girl toys were not always as fun as the toys my brother received. For those of you with only girls in the household, check on the toys for boys section and get a race-car track or Legos or something else that's designed for a boy, you might find that toy to be a favorite. I still love pink; I still love all things cuddly and sweet, but it sure was fun to put on a pair of boxing gloves and do some damage!
Brothers, they can be awesome.
And mine, I call him "Bubba." He's always been my "Bubba."

I have never loved pink. (Don't even like it.) ;)
I had cowboys and Indians to play with. And dinosaurs.
I had dolls, too, but I played with my Lincoln logs. I had these big cardboard brick that I built castles and stuff with, too.
Have a wonderful Sunday!
Your brother is too cute! I loved the picture of the three of you as kids. I can see a family resemblance in many of the photos.
Linda --- I totally understand about the pink!! I think we either hate it or love it. :-) My dad's mother wore pink, probably every day of her life...lots and lots of pink. Whew! Everything you played, so did we. Cowboys and Indians, always amazing. I wonder if kids play that today? Lincoln Logs were the BEST!!! I had several sets. My mom, thankfully, was totally into us kids having the Lincoln Logs, Legos, Blocks, etc. and we spent much of our childhood playing and constructing. We also had the big cardboard brick-looking blocks that were a blast because they could build such large things. Oh...those were the days. I want my grandkids to have all of these things when they come over to our house. Such great things!
Dreaming --- He is pretty cute, when he wants to be! haha. He is very kind-hearted, yet a true SurvivorMan. He and I do look a lot alike...my mother's genes, on her father's side, are VERY strong and we look like the clan. :-)
Hi Lana - I was the oldest also - younger brother and sister. Brings back memories for me of my sibs. My brother was kind of a brat (I'll bet yours was too) when we were young. Now, he's got his own family and is a general contractor. Wish I could see him more - he lives in N Carolina...
That swimmin' hole looks mighty fun!
