Hi, Lady,
Buckley Daniel Harty just arrived about twenty
minutes ago at 5:24 AM. He weighed 8 pounds, 7 ounces, and was 20
inches long, and has sandy blond hair.

| Dale and Diana Lyons Harty | ||
I'll send pictures and video later.
If you're keeping score, this is Dale and Diana's first child, first son, and
our tenth grandchild, sixth grandson.
From
Me
('65) of NC - 06/14/08 - "Buckley's Blessing Bonnet and Booties":
I finished crocheting these Tuesday. In retrospect, they probably would have appeared better had I actually photographed them rather than just placing them on the scanner bed.....
|
As I promised his mama and daddy, they are elaborate but masculine, and cool
enough for this hot summer. I found Karen Gilson's bootie pattern
online (appropriately named, "Granny's Love Baby Booties"!), and
designed the bonnet myself to coordinate with them: http://members.tripod.com/~kpup/html/baby_booties.html Instead of yarn, I used white Lustre-Sheen cotton thread and a size D aluminum hook. Now I just need to begin making his little white blessing suit (which will not be crocheted) - and sew quickly! |
 |
 |
|
 |
Twenty-four years ago, I designed and crocheted Dale's blessing suit, bonnet
and booties of sport weight white yarn, but as we were between blizzards,
the nice warmth it afforded was a good thing! He was born on Wednesday, January 4, 1984 in St. Louis. He wasn't expected until January 10, but there was that blizzard thing, and we were an hour away from the hospital, so all the plans changed. I had thought he would not be blessed until the first Sunday in February, and I hadn't made his bonnet yet, so I awoke in the middle of the night and crocheted it before morning while he slept in my lap in bed. New mamas aren't supposed to get any sleep anyway. Look at that sweet little
baby! |

From Bill Sasser (Hampton HS - '61) of
VA - 06/13/08 - "You Tube":
A couple of years ago, you listed a video of the history of Hampton Roads that I did under Crabbermart.
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/CRABBERMART.html
I have put an a few edited versions of it on Youtube. It has had a number of
hits. Thought your folks might enjoy seeing the glory days of my hometown. I
went to John W. Daniel but moved to
Hampton when I was in the 6th grade.

You're a grand old flag,
You're a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave.
You're the emblem of
The land I love.
The home of the free and the brave.
Ev'ry heart beats true
'neath the Red, White and Blue,
Where there's never a boast or brag.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
Keep your eye on the grand old flag.
You're a grand old flag,
You're a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave.
You're the emblem of
The land I love.
The home of the free and the brave.
Ev'ry heart beats true
'neath the Red, White and Blue,
Where there's never a boast or brag.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
Keep your eye on the grand old flag.
