FAMILY REUNION

My Uncle Ray and his family came to visit.  We had a wonderful day.  We hadn't seen my cousins in years.  My dad has only one brother and no sisters.  My mom has no siblings.  I have only two first cousins.       We were all thrilled for the time we spent with them.  We were blessed with beautiful weather and enjoyed the day very much.  I have lots of pictures and plan to post more later (when I have time to upload them).

LANDSCAPING COMPLETED

and it's only taken 4 years (it was worth the wait).
Our Backyard


We now have a small waterfall (it sounds wonderful)

Our Front Yard



Our landscaping ended on a not so good note when we tried before.  The man doing the landscaping died in the middle of the job.  After a couple of years we tried once again and everything turned out beautiful.  We've spent more time outside in the past six weeks than we ever have.  The waterfall makes such a peaceful sound and we all love being outside now.  We even had a family reunion outside (pictures will be posted later).

Nora's Favorite Antique Car in the Museum

She has good taste in cars.  This is a Duesenberg.  Of course Nora liked it best because it was pink.  Duesenbergs are where the expression "It's a Duesy" comes from.  It was and I guess will always be the ultimate in cars.  There has never been anything better.  In the 1920's a duesenberg sold for over $6000.  Today they cost several million.

DEL'S BIRTHDAY

Del's birthday was early in February.  Nora insisted that we had to have a center piece for the table.  She put this together herself.  I'm going to try to start catching up on posting pictures a few at a time.
