The 4 Amazin' Grandkids!

Today is the day I pay homage to my grandkids. Let's start on the west coast with Sean Ross Tully, son of Bonny Sue Butler (nee Ross). Sean is not only a pro surfer but an accomplished artist. Just last month he had a showing in a California art gallery and sold nine of his paintings. Now he has been commissioned by a real estate developer to supply some of his paintings for his private collection which he plans to hang in a new Toronto hotel. Prior to all this Sean has had his picture on the cover of "Longboard Magazine" and a critique of his paintings in "The Malibu" magazine. Next on the west coast, a new CA arrival, Hannah Ross, daughter of Joel and Barbara of Virginia. Hannah recently graduated from NYU and has made her way to California. She is an accomplished photographer and she deigns one day to work in the film industry. She does plan to continue her education at UCLA. And granddaughter, #2, Katrina Ross Schilling, is also in California working for Harley Davidson as a motorcycle mechanic! (Dad, Bobby, is a crack sales rep at a Harley in Virginia). Katrina recently graduated from Motorcycle Mechanics Institute in Phoenix, AZ. She is quite a beauty and no doubt one day will own a Harley Davidson store!. Final grandchild is Adam Ross, Joel and Barbara's son. He is an outstanding computer graphics wizard and at present, I believe, he resides in D.C. If you need that kind of work you can reach him at Ross Graphic Design www.rossgd.com. He did a masterful job designing my book cover, MEMOIRS of a TAIL GUNNER. If you would care to see that design go to http://stores.lulu.com/norrho1. Click on the bottom title if you would like to learn more.

As for Rhoda and me, today we ran out trying to find a new spaghetti pot for our new glass top stove. The pot we had took forever to boil water, and never did get there. We tried another pot at Walmart, and had to return it...water didn't boil. Now we have two pots bought at Home Goods and we'll see if we have more success. I guess this stove doesn't heat up as well as the old stove we had. The heat is still tough here. You can fry an egg in our parking lot. Well, hope you're all well. Now I'm going to chill out andwatch Tiger Woods in the PGA.
