Old 59 Ford is back home with his carburetor all cleaned up.

I am so blessed with the family, church family, prayers, visits, cards, those who helped out with the kids, & I could go on forever. God has been SO good to us!

Thursday 3-1-07 chest pains got my attention. 4:00pm, We all went to visit the hospital. It wasn't long before ER said it was good that we had come.

One heart attack, two arteries, three stents, four days later, & I'm home & doing great.

Thanks for all the prayers & concerns, God bless all of you!

Mom & Dad's 50th wedding anniversary will be November 16th.

They'll be celebrating it in Texas; so, the family got together last weekend at Fonda & Jim's for an early celebration.

They were very appreciative for the gifts.

Mom & Dad...still get mushy...

Jim grilled some beautiful steaks.

Fonda & Jim served a wonderful meal. We all got our fill.

Justin's excited about dessert, can't wait until Aunt Fonda gets it cut.

Have you ever heard of 42? It's a domino game that the family enjoys. The old men trying to show the boys who's boss.

Samantha modeling Grandma's wedding dress. *It's scares me.*

Mom made her own wedding dress. The material, all together, cost her $17. The time involved, 50 years & going strong.

So, what's a going away dress? She made it also and still has the corsage.

It was a relaxing & enjoyable day. Fonda & Jim have a very nice home with a hunting lodge decor. Looks great!

"He who finds a wife finds a good thing,
And obtains favor from the LORD. " -Prov 18:22

Who would have ever thought I'd find a wife as gorgeous & smart. God knew I needed smart, the gorgeous was an added blessing.

*Daddy's Little Girl*

Isn't she Beautiful?
Samantha at 16. She's going to make someone a good wife in about 15 yrs.

Kicks with Kyle. This is a Kick-Double-Kick.

Spinning Back Kick. *Notice the black belt!*

South Padre Island Beach. This is Justin balancing himself on Kyle's shoulders while Kirk continues to pour on the sand.

Kirk at beach. "There are Sea Gulls everywhere!"

"All clear to swim now; I scared all the sharks away!"
