My Beautiful Girls

This is my oldest grandchild and my oldest gr-grandchild. Aren't they beautiful?

Tomorrow Karen will take Kami to school for the first time. I know they will be
just fine and Kami will enjoy playing with the other kids.

God Bless you girls and enjoy the mother, daughter time together.

You are great girls and we are proud of you both.

My gr-granddaughters.....

....are a sight to behold. Kami starts to school Monday, so Sophie will be the youngest. Aren't they precious? I wish Denise's camera took better pictures of old women. Maybe some makeup would help. We had breakfast together Wednesday for the last time. Kami and Aidan will be in school and Sophie will have her time with her gr-grandmothers on Wednesday's now. And her mamaw will be standing by with a camera in hand ready to record memories. I have another great one due in October. Will it be a boy or a girl? We will not know until it arrives into the arms of its loving parents and extended family. What fun babies are.

Lady Bird Lake

I have just been reading the Austin American Statesman online. They have renamed our Town Lake running through Austin.
We walked many a mile on the Hike and Bike Trail on our Town Lake.
So what, they have given the lake a new name. It sure sounds better then town lake. Ms. Lady Bird sure was a driving force to help make Texas beautiful. I agree to its new name, but reading the comments in the paper are running about half and half for and against.
So now, we go to Austin and at dusk dark, we watch the bats fly from under the Congress Ave. Bridge over Lady Bird Lake!!

Really a sight to see. The picture is of Duane and Michael at Town Lake, with the Congress Ave. Bridge in the background, waiting for the bats to fly. Wonder what year that was? Do you know?

A NEW FAMILY MEMBER

I am introducing Caden to you. He is the newest member of the family, and is a doll. Caden is Aunt Glen's gg-grandson, and Deretha's great-grandson. Hey, that makes Amy a grandmother. Chelsey and Zack, congratulations. You have a fine little boy. I know you are so very proud of him. Don't forget to share pictures now and then as he grows.

July 4th., 2007 Parade

with four of my grandchildren and a gr-granchild. Aren't they so cute.
The Waco kids was here for a visit and got to ride with Kami and Karen.
Karen is not shown.

It was fun for all. That night we all met at the Rhea's for dogs and drinks
along with fireworks. See those pictures at this address.

Happy Anniversary.....

Wendell and Ella, your card is hanging on the clock waiting to be mailed. I just forgot to mail it.

They were married in June 1948, so it has been a lot of years together and I hope for many more.

They are the parents of Brenda, Gail and Curtis, and the loving grandparent's of Dacia and Trent,
and the gr-grandparents of Ben and Zack.

I hope you had a wonderful day. Mary

Happy Birthday

My youngest son-in-law had a birthday a few days ago and I forgot to post him a birthday wish. However I did not forget it was his birthday.

He is the loving husband of Melissa, the dad of Patrick, Elizabeth and Jacob.

Tim is a dedicated teacher of high school band. Plays his horn in the orchestra at his church, and has played in a couple of municipal bands in past years. Tim loves music, and his family.

The picture of Tim and Melissa was taken at dinner at Wednesday night Church last year.

I am proud of you Tim.
