CLOUDS!


For many years I have taken pictures of clouds. Couldn't resist the chance to snap a few on my flight to Florida.

SISTERS!



It was WONDERFUL to make a quick trip down to see my sis in Ft. Myers. We had a great visit and some real fun. My friend Elaine from Ohio joined me.

OLD Friends!


Ed and Barbara Norton are very special friends of our that we don't get to see often. Happened to be going through Maggie Valley, N. Carolina on our way home from S. Carolina and stopped to see them. They are not really OLD friends, just have to tease Ed..... It was good to see them.

Atlanta Aquarium!











We took a "family trip" to Atlanta to see the aquarium. It is said to be the biggest in the world. It was AMAZING! We had a WONDERFULLY FUN day!

My FIVE year old GRANDdaughter!



It seems hard to believe that Anna Kate is five years old already. We have started the tradition of taking each of the grandkids out for breakfast on their birthday. Since we were not in Greenville on Anna Kate's birthday, we took her out a little late. It was FUN! It really is true, they grow up way to FAST!

Sara Bought a HOUSE!


It has been AMAZING to see all that GOD has done in Sara's life these past few months. She and I were praying about a job change and God clearly came through on that. She will be teaching at a wonderful new school in Greenville, only 2 minutes away from here home. We have prayed with her about purchasing a house and avoiding rent. God again opened doors for her to be able to purchase a BEAUTIFUL townhouse. It is across the street from Tim and around the corner from Rich. We are still praising the Lord for all He has done.

Our ONLY GRANDson!






Blake is 15 months old now and AMAZING! He is such a sweet little boy and loves his Papa. He was playing in the front yard in a moving box. Doesn't take much to make him happy.

We've MOVED!





June 23rd we had a 26 foot Penske truck loaded and closed on our house in Bloomington. After a very busy day we headed south with all our "belongings" to our home there. Before loading the truck we moved the essentials of life to an apartment in Normal, Illinois. We will live 6 months in the north and 6 months in the south, until Gary retires. It was an eventful trip. Ask if you want the details.
