"Big Glen" & "Little Glen" Filling Nanny's Birdfeeders

Glen and Tonnie are enjoying a wonderful weekend visit by their daughter Amanda and grandsons Glen & Jason, and as always everyone involved is having a ball. As they always do when they're in town, Jason is staying busy wearing out his ever-present "Gameboy" while "Little Glen" is spending virtually every minute of the day with his grandpa. And if I were a betting man I'd be willing to wager good money that the Grape Escape has already taken a few laps around the "track"! Glen and Tonnie took Amanda and the boys to visit Nanny yesterday afternoon, and while they were there Little Glen helped his grandpa fill up Nanny's bird feeders. Little Glen did his part by pouring the bird seed into the feeders while Grandpa Glen held him up, but when it came time to place a chunk of suet into the wire cage attached to the side of the red feeder he decided that he would sit that one out. After taking a look at the suet, he said (and I quote): "It looks like someone threw it up!" Well, I couldn't say that I disagreed with him because that chunk of suet did look a bit on the nasty side. But the birds and squirrels seem to love it and Nanny loves watching them chow down on it, so "Big Glen" went ahead and did the honors while "Little Glen" looked on with apparent disgust. All in all it was a great day. We all love Amanda and her wonderful family dearly, and Nanny had a great time during their visit. Hopefully, James will be able to come along with them on their next visit, but this weekend he was busy carrying out his duties in the service of our nation. Amanda and Jason have to return home today, but Little Glen will be staying with Grandpa Glen and Grandma Tonnie for an entire week! If I were a betting man, I'd say a dune buggy ride will be coming up pretty soon...   Visit the POTD Archives for previous "Pictures Of The Day"!     Submit a photo of your own!            Why I publish the "Picture of the Day"
