My handsome grandson Trey (he likes to be called his real name now Russell) is home for the summer before leaving to go back to Texas A & M University where he is studying in the honors engineering program. I always love to spend time with Trey as he is fun, industrious and said once "he was the best value in this family." What did he mean? From what perspective was he coming from? He has 2 sisters who have their hair highlighted, nails done, always buying clothes, accessories,  etc.  - he feels his needs are not near as expensive on an ongoing basis!! He might be on to something. ♥♥

A very handsome young man, Dorie. No doubt that girls cost way more than boys! With three grandsons and one granddaughter, I know that only too well!

What a handsome guy. You know he has grown up when he wants to use his formal name. Happy Sunday, Dorie.

Haha, feeling like you are the best value in the family is a good thing.  Is he the third Russell in his family, thus nicknamed Trey?

Hi Brian England,


Yes he is a third Russell thus we have called him Trey since a baby. Hard to for family to change now!

Hi Dorie,
I doubt Trey will have much luck with his family calling him Russell but, perhaps, he can train the outside world.   My husband's oldest son is Max Jr., but we have always called him J.R. to distinquish between him and his Dad.  Now that his Dad is gone he likes to be called Max but he doesn't get it from us.  We all still call him J.R. He knows he's stuck with it from the family.  LOL

Ah yes, boys can often provide better value because their needs can be simpler.

Good afternoon Dorie - that is just Trey's way of saying that he is low maintenance.

It sounds as though you both enjoy each other's company! I'm glad you were able to spend time with Russell before he goes back to school. Growing up I was called Kathy and never was able to get my parents to call me my full name (that they gave me I might add) Kathleen or to call me Kat. Oh well.

Hi Dorie- I love all Aggies!!!  Beyond not being as high maintenance as his sisters, Trey looks like a pretty good value to me.
