Hello Mr. Ed

Some of you may recognize this horse. Yes, he's the one occassionally spotted behind the Berryman restaurant in Bowman, GA. Repp has a good eye for critters. His favorites are ants, birds, goats (in Hartwell), and, of course, dogs.

Boat ride

During Pappy and Grammy's visit in early May, all went for a boat ride on Lake Hartwell. In this picture Repp is fulfilling his duties as navigator. Repp's Nana Eiffert sent Repp a brand new Class II life preserver. He's looking forward to wearing it Memorial Day weekend.

Tough crowd

Yes, Repp runs with a tough crowd. Mess with one and you mess with them all. Frivolity and plain ol' goofing off are not class values. Notice that Repp is protected by his twin bodyguards Danny and Nicky. "This is a class where men are men and women are just as serious," head teacher Tricia was reported as saying. "I don't mess too much with this, um, pack."

Dad's little helper

Leaves in our yard are an ongoing adventure. In between play-time on the slide and kicking the ball, Repp would help his father rake leaves. Maybe this fall he will be ready for full-time rake duty.

Pass it down

Repp is wearing the same outfit his Great Grandaddy Reichert wore when he was a little boy. Everything fits, even the outfit, except around the middle.

Meeting Ms. Lilly

In addition to Ms. Ella, Repp met his new friend Ms. Lilly while in Tuscaloosa. It was his last stop and both were very tired, but truly enjoyed sharing a meal and a little playtime. In this picture, Lilly is sharing with Repp a very interesting tale. Fortunate for Repp, he now has at least five similarly aged female friends to visit. He hopes that trend continues.

Grandma's Play Date

Grandma Reichert came to watch Repp in April 2006. They played ball (see picture), planted flowers, went on a field trip to the vet school, partied with "the men," and strolled the streets of Five Points.

Visiting the Grandparents

During Repp's 2006 Spring Break sojourn, he was able to scoot away one afternoon to visit Grandpa and Nanna Eiffert. Repp enjoyed exploring the garden as well as the delicious dinner. Here he is being man-handled by Grandpa. Word is that Repp is partial to the St. Louis Cardinals (Eiffert favorites), but his dad has other plans.
