Happy Birthday Pam

On March 29, 1970, a snowy Easter morning, a little chubby girl, Pamela Mashall, was born at the Evangelical Community Hospital in Room 208 to the proud parents,

Gerald and Sarah Hoch.
She was a welcomed little one, her older sister, Lorrie, wanted so much to have her close to her and enjoy her.

What a pair they have made.

If parents could choose
A child who would be
A darling addition
To their family,
Why, ther'd be a rush
To pick one like you.....Pam
And that's something OUR family
Always knew.
We Love you, Pam

Dad and Mom

More Flowers and Fruit

We have three pineapples beginning to bud again already.
Hopefully they will produce some good sweet pineapples for us to show you

One of the many many "armarillias" that are beginning to bloom for us

Our Loquat Tree

We finally are having fruit from our Loquat Tree in the back yard
It has bloomed and produced several times but the frost came and took them from us
Sarah and I sat and ate several of these sweet little fruit today

A close up of them in the tree

This is what they look like picked.
A nice large seed in the center and sweet fruit around the seed.
The first we have had fruit from the tree.

Visiting Jeff and Karen

On Thursday
We were able to visit with Jeff and Karen Kuhns, our nephew and neice, at Zepherhills, Florida
They were visiting her sister, Wayne and Anita.
It was great to spend most of the afternoon with them

We then went out to eat at Golden Corral and had a great meal
and a good time together.
Thanks Jeff and Karen

The Third Rose

This is the third rose that will make up the dozen
It is a green one
Each one is so lovely

This should be a "beauty" when it opens
