Welcome to the Bragg Family South blog!!

Thanks to some inspiration by brother Bill, we have decided to return to the online universe in blog form! We will endeavor to keep this blog more up-to-date than we did our website, but don't expect daily posts. We will, however, use this format to post pictures of the kids more frequently, and to provide information on our travel plans to friends and family.

And, please, send us feedback!

Hey Don- I'm checking you out!

Don't know how often you check this, but thought I would mention that Jon will be coming camping with us afterall. We'll make it to Rhinelander Friday night and then make the trek to Sylvania on Saturday. Wish we could stay more than one night! See you soon! Lisa

I was sure feeling like a nitwit, I couldn't get any part of this blog except the very beginning. Well anyway, I think Don figured out how to post a comment (which was what I wanted to do) so here goes. I enjoyed your travels and bring on the pictures. Grandma Kay
This darned thing doesn't like me, it won't let me put my name on it so I become part of the text.

Late fall activities

Image
Well, I better get this blog post out before too long--hard to believe it is already December and the holiday season is upon us!  The picture above is from a visit earlier this fall by Beth--and her introduction to our new female tabby kitten "Charlie".  Charlie got her name from the neighbor boy who thought she was a he when this small stray kitten showed up in our neighborhood.  We believe someone dumped her when she was old enough to be on her own--she was definitely very friendly from the very beginning!  The neighbors "found" her first, but as they have cat allergies, were not going to take her in...Since our Bella had died earlier this year, we determined that we were going to wait until early 2024 to find a replacement cat...but as they say, you don't find cats, they find you...  So now we have Charlie! This has been a fairly conventional if very busy fall for us...Halloween came and went remarkably quick, with our traditional pumpkin carving (above) and ...

Happy 4th of July!

Nothing like starting off the 4th of July with a bit of a BANG!!! When we last left y'all, we were in the midst of the 2011 Arkansas Archeological Society's summer dig... The rest of the week, we continued digging, and continued to find neat things like this 1830s vintage silver US dime: Here's an interesting picture--the orangish color object is a brick--what is the white thing above it? (Hint: it's upside down...) It is the ceramic, painted head of a toy doll! Like many (most) archeological digs, some of the neatest items turn up at the very end, and this dig at Historic Washington was no different (the dime and doll's head were found on the last full day of the dig). We thoroughly enjoyed this year's dig, heat and all, and look forward to next year's excavations. Earlier this spring, Kenny was given a cabbage to plant, and though it didn't fare well in the heat and dryness we had, it did produce a decent little head that was pretty tasty chopp...

Kenny is now a Husky!!

Well, it's official!  We have a new MTU Husky in the household!  But more on that later...  This summer had a few rainbows: We also had an extended stay by a different kind of family--some birds nested in an old Packer helmet toy of the kids, and it appears that these 4 chicks were successfully raised by their hard working parents: (you can just barely see the beak of one of these nestlings in the picture above).  One other project we worked on was a new fireplace mantle for our living room...The one that had been there since we bought our house was showing its age and breaking down, so after some consideration and shopping around, we decided it would be best to build our own out of a number of oak boards...and we're pretty happy with the results: By now, summer 2020 has now largely wound down...After a brief delay to better prep for COVID, the Monticello school system is now open for classes, so Beth and Stephen have gone back to classes this past week.  The de...
