Today is my oldest granddaughter's birthday. Cayenne is in college now, and I'm so thrilled for her. I was glad she weathered Irma the hurricane at home in Tampa with her family, rather than staying at college (where she's only been a month) in Jacksonville, FL.
Proud dad, Marty. (Just grabbed this from his Facebook post, (somehow I didn't have it before 11:30 am today) |
Cinnamon a proud mom with her new grad, Cayenne. |
"Poppy" 1877-1960, George Elmore Rogers Sr. a Texan all his life. |

I just found out my neighbor across the way has his birthday Aug. 27, while mine was the 23rd.
Another person in my church community has the same birthday I do (1 year older) and she's also a clay artist!
Remember I like to make funny faces at my age! |
Beginning of September, my maternal grandmother (above) Mozelle Miller Munhall (1897-1960) just had her birthday on the 8th.
My paternal great-great grandfather had his on Sept. 10, (Alexander G. Swasey, 1784-1861) born in Swansea, MA, died in Newport, RI. He was a mariner and ship builder and wood carver.
Tai as a teen (who just turned 38!) |
Russ who just hit his half century mark! Congrats to you! |
So many children...growing up, getting older, and living such interesting lives!
Next birthday in my family is Michael, my oldest grandson! But not till October...
Michael on left, Cayenne middle, and other brother, William on right!
