Family Reunion--Sweetie

-
Our Family Reunion was in July.
I have been so busy since then that
I haven't spent a lot of time blogging.
So for the next few posts, you
are going to get to see my precious
family and the beautiful 
YMCA of the Rockies at Estes Park.
Sweetie is the matriarch of the family so she
gets to be featured in the first blog post.
Here she is with all of her grandchildren
and great grandchildren.
Missing from the photo are:
Emily, Philip, and Sarah who were all
at the reunion but had to leave
before pictures were taken.  
Gail and Jon created a fun game of family bingo.
Newest great grandchild--Cora Elise.
You might be wondering what Josh is thinking.
We often wonder that! 
Her own private escort to the picture taking location.
Sweetie with her children.
Not pictured is Aunt Terry who had
to stay home for classes
to become a chaplain.  We missed her!
We teasingly told Kim that we should have taken
a picture of the "original three" but kindly decided
to allow the "baby" in the picture.  
We got a shot of four generations of girls.

Special thanks to Jon and other talented members of the 
family who took such fantastic pictures.

Wonderful memories!!

Ha ha! I am so glad you let Kim be in the picture! That reminds me of when Bethany was young. She went through organizing all of the family photos and she bagged up a big bunch of them and labeled them, "The Family BEFORE someone was born." We have teased her about that for years. :-)

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

-

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi...

New Walking Shoes

I have loved the Dansko shoes that I wear when it is cool. But I needed some comfortable walking shoes and amazingly Dansko now makes  "tennis shoes". They are so comfortable, although a little wild.  Probably should have gone with a more neutral pair, but these are fun. And to all the fashion police out there, no, one pant leg is not longer than the other.  It is just the angle of the camera. Sheesh!!!!!

Laundry Dilemma

OK, all of my friends in Blogland, I have a problem and those closest to me are getting tired of me showing them my laundry dilemma and of me trying to get them to help me figure it out so I am sharing my problem with you in hopes that some BRILLIANT person can help me. Several, and I mean several of my shirts are getting holes in them. I hope you can see from the pictures below--I have put a red cloth behind the holes in hopes that they would show up better. They start out with tiny little pinprick holes and then they "grow". They are always right about waist level. I have been working on this puzzle for a several weeks because I don't want to have to replace all my clothing every few weeks (although there is a Stein Mart in Colorado Springs.) See the solutions that have been ruled out. not one of my bracelets puncturing the cloth no, I'm not wearing a belt that is puncturing the cloth it does not seem to be something that I am leaning up against the seatbelt ...
