There's NO way i'm going to keep up with all the goings on with all of the Adair extended family --or the Moran side , for that matter---on this blog (even if i had all day to spend on this ) --- but ,then, thats not why its here. Besides...I dont REALLY know how to type well---although i DO hunt -and-peck with the best of them !

It's just a light -hearted attempt to pass on in 'stream of consciousness' fashion a few things here and there that Kathy and/or I experience, or think is relevant to YOU , the 'Blogee' ----who is either a dear friend or relative ; near or far.

This is part open diary , part shared photo-album/family archive ( though woefully inadequete) , part 'soap-box' for passing on stuff---whether fun , or serious.

Speaking about Serious Fun , how about those great - nieces of mine...the wild-and-funloving

Tanzer-Lizdas sisters : Nya and Esme. Known far and wide as quite a handful for their proud and loving (yet somehow , always slightly winded) parents , Christine and Ben , these two can really Get in Your Face when they want your attention.....

But -Hey ...thats OK , cuz the Fun has Just Begun!

Horsey rides ,airplane rides,goofy faces ---a

genetic pre-disposition for imagination and a little Too much sugary birthday cake is ALL these 2 need to make you cry Uncle !

Yes , they are a time-tested remedy for the blues ...

Not to be outdone , of course, is their cousin , my great-nephew Ryan tanzer , son of Tom and Judy ... who is also obviously destined for Greatness .He is well on his way as you can see in the photo progression below.

As recently as Christmas time 2008 , he was aided in the construction of a gingerbread train at his parents' Illinois home.

Just days ago , he is seen here at a joint family conference held at his new palatial corporate headquarters in Barbados (we wrote off the whole week gig as business...in fact - sent the air-fare bill to Gov. Doyle as an 'educational expense'..Ha! )

He is shown giving us his plans to leverage the profitable Gingerbread Train Conglomerate in a hostile take-over of Google, Bucyrus and Derse Corporations .... All in a day's work for This lad !

Parting shot......Our Good friend , Randy 'Socket-King' Plato -- proud new owner of a Guy's dream -come-true-to-die-for tool cabinet .
