Joe & Betty's Anniversary - AND Jean & Bill's Anniversary!

Jean and Bill got married one year to the day before Joe and Betty, Bill looked so handsome and Jean was so beautiful. Bill's brother Earl was best man and he was in uniform at the time - wow, what a great day.
The following year Joe and Betty married with Joe in his uniform and Virgil was best man, with sleeves a little too short. I love that picture - they all looked so young (of course they were? Duh)

Happy Birthday Jarrod-

Jarrod, I do have your family picture, however I can't find it (go figure). sigh!

Anyway, Jarrod I am going to tell a story on you - Jeff is 6 months older than you and you would come to Eagle for the summer to stay with your grandparents, Chuck and Mary Ann. The great big garden they planted every year was right across the street from our house. It was spring time and the strawberries were ripe, you and Jeff got into the patch and enjoyed a couple of ton. And you know what happens when you eat too many strawberries! You didn't quit make it to the bathroom in time, so your grandma felt sorry for you and didn't kill the two of you!

Have a great day Jarrod!!!

Sand Sculptures -

A friend and I went to the beach for the annual Sand Sculpture contest, these are some of the winners - can you believe it?Don't know who won, but it sure was fun to see how creative they were -


I know it's Thanksgiving time, but it sure was fun to go to the beach again.


This was done by a Cub Scout troop - they had a ball doing it!! I love the weather this time of year down here, I can probably pretend that this is snow - but it's a whole lot easier to get around in. Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Happy Birthday Michael -

Michael, it's your birthday today! (Michael is in the middle of the twins with his grandpa, Frank in the back) I'm sure you will have a fun filled day with all your cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents. Enjoy!

Yesterday the 21st was Joe's birthday-

Sooo, yesterday was Joe's birthday and again, I don't have a single picture of him. Come on you guys I need some pictures of Chuck, Kevin, Brian, Rick and Joe - anyone???

Chuck & Diane it was so great to see you both again, can't wait for the next reunion. I will always remember you and your Dad, Bill playing duets on the guitar, hope you still play. Have a great day!

This is too funny!

This is probably the last storm of the season, and the meteorologists could not decide exactly where the storm is headed. Your guess is as good as any! I love it - all over the map!

Tina, I don't have a picture of you - some of your precious children. I'm sure your mom, Pam is doing something special with you today - so have a great day!!

Becky & Bill, Happy Anniversary -

Bill, thanks for all your hard work in taking pictures during our reunion. And of ourse, we have no pictures of you and Becky together - everyone had such a good time!


Becky talking with Jerry - I still get so astounded at the good time every one had. Every picture was filled with laughter and great conversation. Anyway, happy anniversary Becky and Bill!

Happy Birthday Louis!

I will never forget your grandma, Mary Ann telling about the time you and your two cousins climbed up on top of the garage, she just about had a heart attack until you got down all safe and sound.
You tell that mom of yours, Ann to do something really cool with you today. Have a great day!

Happy Birthday Cindy!!!

Cindy, JoEllen and Pam - all the same age and looking good! The friendships of cousins remain forever, almost as good as sisters.
Cindy and Chris going over last minute ideas at the reunion. Cindy was an invaluable asset to the reunion. She took care of printing and mailing out all the newsletters. Thanks Cindy!

And this great picture of Grandma Cindy. Cindy has always been the rock, I can remember the time we were in Houston with Patty when she had brain surgery. She was the strong one through the entire time Patty was so sick. Cindy, you are special! Have a great day!

Two Birthdays today - Greg and Amanda

The only good picture I have of Amanda is here with her immediate cousins. Amanda, you have been a source of joy for your grandmother, Dorene and your dad, Ronnie. Have a fun filled day!


Yup, its Greg's birthday, ornery little dickens anyway. I am so glad he enjoys life so much, I think he takes a little after his uncle Frank - don't ever grow out of that enjoyment! Have a wonderful day, Greg.
