Lucky Mama In Texas

Lucky Mama In Texas!!! The photo was taken Mother's Day 2006. I was on my way to a luncheon with my sisters (Joyce & Pam) and several nieces. It was a 'high day' for me. The day ended with a nice evening meal with our brothers & their wives at a local restaurant. It was wonderful & we shared many happy moments. My sister, Pam, came from England for these events. Joyce is from Cleburne, TX; Bob/Tempey from Burkburnett; Sam/Rhonda from Farwell, TX; Larry/Patsy from Hale Center, TX. We missed seeing the oldest brother, Wayne & his sweet wife, Juanita. After enjoying a wonderful meal together, we gathered around & sang familiar songs accompanied on the guitar by brothers - Larry & Bob. Sam seems to always have a funny joke to tell. ALL of my siblings are so precious & special -- and the mean the world to me. Lots of nieces/nephews came to join us. I thank God for my family.

My son, Bryan, and one of his little boys (Haile) joined us. Haile loved on his aunts & uncles. Bryan is the father of five children: Layna Moree (9 yrs), Storey Renae (8 yrs), Bryan Haile (5 yrs), Kailan Dane (3 yrs), and Liam Paul (17 mos.). They are ALL the delight of my life.

















Aren't they all beautiful? Yep! They got Jaaym wrapped around their little fingers. AND -- I'm looking forward to adding yet another grandchild to my photo album in January 2007. I can hardly wait to see the newest baby to come on the scene.

Below, is a photo of the brothers/sisters attending the dinner 5/06 in Lubbock, TX.

From left to right back row: Joyce, Larry, Pam, Sam. Seated left to right: June, Bob. If Wayne had attended we'd have had all living siblings together...we missed him. It was indeed a wonderful Mother's Day weekend.

We have many happy times at family reunions & Christmas parties. As time passes, family becomes more & more precious.
