| The Family & Friends gathering at Cindy and Rogers house is really special and made even more special this year because, for the first time in many years, all four of our children, and us, were in the same place at the same time. We all went out on the front lawn and had many pictures taken. This one caught the comedian Ringo in an acceptable pose and everyone looking at the camera.. Also what made the event special is the meeting of our nine week old great niece Riley and our grandson, seventeen month old Kasen, all the way from New Mexico. Then too, there was our friends Lil and Charles, Anne and Rich and Tina who were regulars at our old family gatherings, as well as Brother Bill and Diane. And,of course, our hosts, Cindy and Roger and their three girls, Stacey, Taylor and Jenna. |
