Here's an oldie

Tom here. I had to share this one. Lynette had it, and shared it via email. Initially I was trying to recognize my cousins. Nope. It's Grandma and Grandpa's first 3 children: Al, Ed, and Rita (left to right).

My dad is probably only about 8 months old, so I am guessing this was taken in the early part of 1921. Yvette was not born yet.

Thanks, Lynette for saving this treasure and for sharing it.

Kelley is Engaged

Linda and Tom here. We are happy to announce that our daughter Kelley is engaged to Brice Pridgen. Their story is fairy tale that is not common today. They met in the 4th grade, and began dating around the 9th grade. Kelley and Brice will graduate from their respective colleges in May and plan on marrying in the summer.

Kelley and Brice were in Brian's wedding last December, and it was apparent to many that they might be the next to get married. The picture here was taken at Brian's wedding. Throwing the bouquet was carefully fixed for Kelley to be the winner.

Linda and I were so happy to welcome Brian's new wife Ashley into our family, and now we're delighted to welcome Brice. We could not be happier.

Congratulations to Kelley and Brice. We love you both.

Back from Arizona

Hey everyone it's Joanne and Jimmy back from Arizona. Weather was sunny and 85-90 dry degrees everyday. We renewed our vows on my 47th birthday, went to the Grand Canyon, The Petrified Forest and Painted Desert, did Red Rock Jeep Tour in Sedona, just had ourselves some r&r as well at the resort, here are some pictures. The bottom left is me at Montezuma's Castle and the bottom right is Jimmy at our resort. The resort is called Sedona Pines and what the resort is, instead of hotel rooms, they are cottages. We lucked out we only had neighbors to the left of us. If you get a chance, you can view what the inside of the cottages look like by going to Sedona Pines.com and clicking on "cottages" then click on each room. Also click on the other images of the resort. It's a time share I bought into 7 years ago.
