Running where Abe walked
Last weekend Mrs Shoo ran the Lincoln Presidential Half Marathon. Grayson and I caught up with friends at the end of the race to cheer on Mrs. Shoo and her friend Sarah. “Mooooommm” The woman holding the sign is Sarah’s mother. She throws a mean surprise birthday and will run the last tenth of a…

Mrs. Shoo’s Socks
Mrs. Shoo is pretty talented with the needles. If you ever receive a hand knit item from Mrs., hold on to that item with care and know that it has been on many car rides, seen a few trashy tv reruns, and been to Panera a couple of times for her weekly knit-a-long group. The…

Grandma Ruth
This is Grayson’s Great Grandma Ruth. He’s not the best photo subject when you make him pose for a photo, but this is a great photo. Grayson is Ruth’s only great grandchild.
