HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Tomorrow is the day another of my grandchildren was born. 28 Dec, a very special day for Michael. I want to wish you a very Happy Birthday and many more. Your birthday card is winging its way to you, but will be late because I forgot to mail it last Wednesday. We missed you at dinner Christmas day, also your family that was with you.
Have a great new year, and come visit as soon as you can. I love you.

Christmas

We had a glitch in our Christmas Dinner. Larry called about 10:30 a.m. to say that Denise was in emergency with a sever stomach ache. Missy rushed to the hospital to check on her, Grandma came, heard the news and left to check it out. They were sent home to help take care of Christmas Dinner and have a good time. We were told to carry on, eat and be merry. Denise was released and over here around three, but missed dinner and the opening of gifts. The problem is most likely gall bladder related. She seems to be fine today and is out shopping.

How was your Christmas?

Wes and family are on the way home from Houston. I hope the traffic is light and every one safe.

Brian and family were in Colorado and we missed them. Michael had to work, so we missed him.

We failed to get a family picture this year, but will try again next year.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

From my house to yours, Merry Christmas. Most of my family will be here for Christmas Dinner. There will be four generations of us. Me, my children, grandchildren and g-grandchildren. I can't wait to see them all. My son Wesley and his family will go to Houston to have Christmas with my grandson, Michael. However Kevin will be here with us. Grandson Brian and his family will be in Colorado for Christmas. I wish all of them could be here, but I will enjoy the ones that get to come.
HAVE A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS WITH YOUR FAMILY AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR IN 2009.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Tomorrow is Janet's birthday. I know she is looking forward to going to Houston for Christmas. She hasn't seen her youngest son since July. They will all be glad to see each other.
Of course we will miss them, but really do understand why they will make the trip. Hugs and kisses for all when you arrive.
Have a safe trip. BUT, in the meantime, have a great birthday tomorrow. Love you, Mom

ANNIVESARY

Today, 60 years ago, Duane Tallant and Mary Posey stood before the preacher and vowed to love, honor and obey until death do us part. We did that for 50 years. We created "Our Many Tallants", who today, will remember Duane with love. He left us nine and a half years ago to go on without him. But we remember him with love, and miss him every day.
We love you Duane and wish you were here.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DENISE

This was our eighth Anniversary present. Wasn't she a great gift from God? I want to wish her a very Happy birthday on the 4th. We were married on 4 Dec 1948, on Duane's mother's birthday. Denise was born on 4 Dec 1956.






Here she is some fifty two years later with the love of her life and their three grandchildren. It has been a beautiful ride. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DENISE

WELCOME TO OUR WORLD

Conner tipped the scales at 5 lb. 5 oz. when he arrived on the 25th. No picture yet. But I would bet the cameras are flashing.
His g-grandparents here will be waiting to see pictures of their newest g-grandson. That makes them three. He joined Ben and Zack who are Conner's cousins. Love you little guy. Congrats !!!, Mom and Dad.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING 2008

YOU ALL, MUCH LOVE FROM MY MANY TALLANTS picture taken Thanksgiving, 2008.

I borrowed these two pictures from her parents blog a month or so ago. Thank you Mom and Dad, I love getting to see lots of pictures of Clara.

Clara is my youngest great-granddaughter, one of three. I have Kami, Sophia and Clara and one great-grandson, Aidan, or as his family calls him, ACE.

Today is Earl's birthday. I just want to wish him a HAPPY BIRTHDAY, I forgot to send him a card. He has been a member of the family for 56 years. Again, Happy Birthday Earl.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Jacob

Tomorrow is Jacob's 7th. birthday. You saw a picture of his party below. I just wanted to let him know that I am remembering his birthday again. He made ME a wonderful birthday present in 2001, one day after my birthday. My youngest grandchild. No more for me now. They are all getting to old. :(

Again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACOB, are you enjoying your new bike?

Much love, Mema

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ME

Tomorrow, I will be 81 years young. It does not seem like a year since the children threw me a big birthday party. It was so much fun. Since that date, I have another great-granddaughter, making me 3 great-granddaughters and just 1 great-grandson. Come on kids, times awasting. I will soon be old and can't enjoy them. :(
In this picture, I had just opened a present from my cousin, Connie. She gave me a can of Pork-n-Beans. They were Over The Hill beans. (Directions, 1. Eat Hearty, 2. Take a bath then, 3. clear the room.) :)

Thank you all for being such a great family, and know that I love you all.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Jacob will be 7 years old this coming Friday. My how time flies. He had a birthday party last Saturday and it was a fun party. He and sister, Elizabeth shared a party again this year and it was fun for all who was there.
The cake was a two layer cake, one layer for Elizabeth, who turned 9 last month, and Jacob, who is almost 7 now. My granddaughter drove me down so I could attend the party. Thank you so much Karen and Kami for taking me to the party.

Wishing the two of you many more Happy Birthdays, Elizabeth and Jacob.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

On 26 October 1949, our first baby boy was born in Whitney, Texas. What a joy he was and still is. Oops, I gave away his age didn't I. Oh well, he will be 59 years old Sunday, 26 October 2008, just two days from now. I am using the latest picture taken of him and his family just a few months ago. I am so proud of all of them, and wanted to wish him a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY. CHESTER, you are much loved. Wasn't he a beautiful baby. A waitress once told us he was to pretty to be a boy!!! And now here he is a grandfather. Pops, to his little granddaughter.

GOOD MORNING

Hello there, it is Monday. Crackers and I are up and ready for our day to began. She arose a little early, but that is alright, it gives us more time to get our work done.
After typing up some Obits' for genealogy, I will do my exercise walk, then put out the trash and make up my bed. Around eleven I will take off for genealogy. Stopping in downtown Paris to visit with Denise for a few minutes before going on to genealogy. It makes for a busy blue Monday. How is your day going? I hope it will be, or was, a Blessed Day. Love you all, Mom/Mema/Mary

Love you sweetie!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

My sister's birthday is the day after tomorrow, the 2nd of Oct. When she was born I had no idea she was on the way to our family, I was almost ten, can you believe it. I was so happy when I came into the house and saw her laying on the bed asleep covered with a little blanket. She became mine and they say I almost raised her. I just want to wish her a Happy Birthday altho she will never see this as her computer is dead. Anyway, have a good day and just know that I love you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Today is Laura's birthday. I wanted a picture of just Laura, but this one is so precious I decided to use it. This was taken last November after baby Clara Jane was born. Aren't they a happy looking family? Guess what? Baby Clara is walking now at the age of ten months. Mom and Dad have a job cut out for them keeping up with go-go Clara.
I hope it was a great day for you Laura. You deserve it. Love to all three of you.

GUESS WHAT.....

Today is Christi's birthday!!! I hope she has a very good day and no more snakes in her school. Teacher's need to teach from the floor, not on top of the desk.If you read her blog you know what I am talking about.

Have a great day granddaughter-in-law. I love you.

It has been a long day

I am bored. I went to a funeral this morning. A friend I met while walking at Prime Time years ago, then found out we went to church together, her husband was buried this morning. I didn't want to go to the cemetery, so I went up to Star~Net and had a sandwich with Denise, Larry and Sophie. Ummmm, good. This afternoon I spent on the computer or working in the house. It was such a beautiful day and I wanted to work in the yard, but did not want to redo my hair for DAR tomorrow. The yard is mowed, just needs a little trimming.
The Rangers are on and I am kinda keeping up with them. I did see them go ahead a while ago, but they are looseing right now. :( Any more snakes Christi? Ugh

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

September fourth is my granddaughter's birthday. I won't tell you her age, but she is a special young woman. Her mom and dad took her to TaMolly's for dinner. They invited her sister, niece, and me, to come also. What fun. She took her own picture and I will share it with you. We all love you very much Kimmie.

Memorial

Today is Billy's birthday. He would have been 74 years old. He is missed by his family and he would have dearly loved his great-granddaughter. She will only know great-granddad from pictures. Bill is the young man leaning on the wall of the old grocery store in his home town. Well they are all leaning, he is second from the left. Wish you were here with us Bill, we all miss you.
I had forgotten that Bill never got to meet his granddaughter Kayla. She was born after he left us. And today is Kayla's birthday. 4 September....
Happy Birthday Kayla. He would have loved you as much as he did Heather.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Harold Morrison has a birthday coming up. I hope it will be a good one. I think he is reaching a milestone in his life. Oops, he reached that milestone last year and is working on another one now. God bless you Harold, and many more birthdays to come. He is pictured here with his brother and sister. Love you "Cuz", Mary

Happy Anniversary

Larry and Denise. It has been a short 31 years since you stood before family members and said your vows. Uncle Udell did a good job, it worked.
I wish you another 31 years together, and more grand-babies to spoil.

Just remember how much you are loved, by your family.

Enjoy your Square Dancing, it is fun and good exercise.

Stay with the healthy diet, walking and bike riding. For an old couple of thirty one years, you are doing great.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

On August 19, 1953, we were blessed with a second little boy. He got in such a hurry to arrive, that Mamaw didn't have time to get there from Paris. He was born soon after lunch, we didn't leave for the hospital until well after breakfast. He came home to his big brother, his mom and dad, and we were so proud of him. We named him Wesley Thomas after his two grandfathers. Wesley grew up and went to school in Austin. As soon as he graduated from High School he joined the U. S. Navy, following in his big brothers foot steps. Dad was a World War II veteran, so they wanted to do their duty also.
Have a Blessed Birthday tomorrow Wesley. Love you, Mom

In Memory

Thomas Jefferson Tallant was born in Arkansas on March 23, 1882. He died on August 18, 1945, 63 years ago today. He is well remembered by his family, who today, still hold the Tallant Family Reunion on the first Saturday in June every year.
Papa was killed by his runaway team while working in his fields. A train let off steam and scared the horses/mules, and they bolted.
How sad to loose a husband, father, grandfather so soon. He was loved by them all.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Our very first grandson has a birthday the 16th. He has had his hair cut, and looks more handsome then before. I just want to wish him a Happy Birthday on Saturday and a safe trip home. He is visiting his little brother out of town. Love you much kiddo.

Up date: I took this picture of him after he came home.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Today, Duane would have been 85 years old. How we miss him these many years since he left us. He passed away on 23 April 1999. Where have the years gone since then.

He has two grandchildren he never met and 4 great-grandchildren that will never know him except in pictures.

We think of you often and we all miss you dear Duane/Dad/Pepa.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Today is Aunt Goldie's birthday. When she was two years old I came along and made her an Auntie. She told some card playing buddies a while back that she hated me, I was playing also, they gasp, why do you hate her? She made me an aunt when I was just two years old was her reply. We got a big laugh out of that. I was her card partner and I think we won? :) Goldie was born in Oklahoma, the only baby of 12 children born out of Lamar County. No wonder she is odd. :) Just kidding, I love her and wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY and many more in years to come.

She will have a fit about this picture, but it was the last one made of the both of us and it is awful, but what is two old 80 years old plus women supposed to look like. She has not seen the picture and probably won't unless someone prints it off and sends it to her. Well, after looking at the picture I did not have the nerve to use it. This picture was taken in 2004 at her sons wedding. It is really good of her.

Again, Happy Birthday Auntie.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Aidan has a birthday tomorrow, he will be 4 years old.

His Mom and Mamaw have pictures on their blogs.

My batteries died in my camera, so I am picturless.

It was a great party Saturday little Aidan Lee'

I love you loads.

MY GRANDDAUGHTER

My granddaughter decided to be a bird and fly. :)

How to do that you ask? Well, she went up in an airplane and SKY DIVED. Wasn't she brave? And she loved it and will do it again she says. Just don't tell me Kim until you are on the ground again. Because it was her first dive she had to have an instructor fly with her. Here they are in the free fall I guess. I do not see a parachute any where.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Today is Wanda's birthday. From now until November we are the same age, then I get ahead of her again until 16 July 2009. Birthdays are fun, don't you think?

This is a picture that was taken in 1950 in Dallas. It is a picture of Wanda, Duane and Chester. We had gone to Dallas to visit Wanda before she married. I would say it must have been Easter and we had been to church. I love this picture of all three of them.

Here is a really good picture of Wanda and Earl taken at their 50th. Anniversary Party in 2003. Their daughter and son-in-law honored them with a beautiful party attended by many.

This the last picture was taken in 2007 for their church directory, it is really a good picture of both of them.


Have a great birthday Wanda. We all love you.
