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. :-)

Love Present from a Friend

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because. My sweet friend, Claudia, came by the other day with the cutest dishes. She had found them at an antiques store and she said they just looked like me. Don't they make a beautiful display in my kitchen bookshelves? Thank you, Claudia, for the dishes, but most of all for the thought behind the Love Present .

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

Bluebonnets

Texas Bluebonnets and Spring are synonymous! What a beautiful display of God's beauty! My friend, Lea, gave me a beautiful silver bluebonnet charm created by James Avery . You can see it by clicking the link above. I love wearing it because it reminds me of my roots. I still remember the Bluebonnet Song that I learned in elementary school. Bluebonnets, Bluebonnets, With your coats so blue Your bright eyes are shining In the morning dew. They say you're a dolly Offered for the rain And Texas wears blue Bluebonnets in the Spring. Anyone else sing that song as a child?
