Phenomenal Woman
by Maya Angelou

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size. But when I start to tell them, they think I'm telling lies. I say, It's in the reach of my arms, the span of my hips, the stride of my step, the curl of my lips. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal Woman, that's me. I walk into a room just as cool as you please, and to a man, the fellows stand or fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, a hive of honey bees. I say, It's the fire in my eyes, and the flash of my teeth, the swing in my waist, and the joy in my feet. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal Woman, that's me.

Men themselves have wondered what they see in me. They try so much but they can't touch my inner mystery. When I try to show them they say they still can't see. I say, It's in the arch of my back, the sun of my smile, the ride of my breasts, the grace of my style. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal Woman, that's me.

Now you understand just why my head's not bowed. I don't shout or jump about or have to talk real loud. When you see me passing it ought to make you proud. I say, It's in the click of my heels, the bend of my hair, the palm of my hand, the need of my care, 'cause I'm a woman Phenomenally.
Phenomenal Woman, that's me.

FAMILY PICTURES...........

Mike's son Carter was in town for a visit over the week of Memorial. We were all very excited to see him. The whole family gathered at my place for the weekend.

I know that Logan and Silas look so very different. I always get "the look" from little old ladies at the checkout stand at the grocery store. You know the one, tsk, tsk, tsk, two different fathers kinda look. This picture really surprised even me. Everyone says how crazy it is to have the boys each look so much like one parent. I went through some old pics to see if I could find some of all of us at the same age. I wasn't able to find any of Jason, but here is one of me and Logan at about two.

Here are some family pics.

Here is Shranda on the left (Matt's fiance) and Ember (Andy's fiance).

Michael and Carter.

Nanna Sharyn with her grandbabies. Back L-R: Carter, Teyha, Logan. Front L-R: Silas, Dyson. Times like this are hard for everybody because we miss the other grandbabies in IL Caleb, Daisy and Violet very, very much!

Here is Logan, Silas, Teyha, Dyson. Silas of course, is running around half naked. Yes he did have clothes on at one point.

Here is Andy, Ember, Tehya and Dyson. Amazing that they have blue-eyed children when both of them have brown eyes.
