Hello Family!
This isn't really a post as it is a HELLO to all my Rice peeps wherever you may be! I am excited to stay connected to the coolest family ever! Love you all!
I just want to say thanks to Suzanne and Matt for getting this together. I look forward to reading everyone's comings and goings!
I have never done this before so I feel a little weird doing this and truthfully ~ ain't nuttin' excitin' happenin' @ The Empty Nest of Abuelita and Papa Tom! So I wrote a little poem about it.
No painting to do,
No walls to repair;
Suzanne ~your home looks so beautiful ~ it shows how much you care!
No kids off to school,
No tuitions to pay,
Jeni & Bob ~ Brad's well on his way.
A fine student he'll be up in BYU Idaho,
A mission will follow ~ he's anxious to go!
No proms to prepare for,
No dating dilemmas,
Becky & Roger ~ Hide Jackie away til she's well in her twenties!
They will come calling,
But do not give in ~ she is too precious for any of them!
Two more left at home,
The numbers are shrinking.
Mark ~ Do not despair ~ it's about you that they're thinking.
They yearn to be near,
To feel ~ the warmth of your comfort and care.
And though OUR home is empty,
No loneliness here.
'Cuz our kids live in Columbus,
They're still very near!
The car is gassed up ~ ready to go,
Is there a reason ~ I dare say no!
But what's that you say...
Our grandkids are sad?
We're coming,
We leaving!
Two hours ain't bad!

Ricelandia Post
Suzie said to me a 11pm last night (25 Sept 2008)
That the Rice's need a Blog so the whole family has one place to find out about everything.
I put this together on my lunch break today. Nothing fancy right now. Just feeds from everyone (that I could find) that has a blog or two.
Now the goal is to have the latest blog entry visible on this page.
If you don't have a blog or would prefer to post directly here I am going to set up family accounts for authors so each family can have one or more authors posting for them. (Families are married couples or individuals on there own. This list will obviously change as time goes on.)
