Tennessee Trip - More Fun !

Sometimes we go to Tennessee especially to see family but always when we go for any reason we get to visit with as many as possible while we are there. This time we stayed one night with Rita (baby sister) and one night with Vickie & Ray. Out on the farm! We had a house full Sunday for dinner but there were a few missing, as usual. It would be impossible to get everyone there. But there always lots of kids and that's the special thing for me. We have 2 new ones in our family. (both Vickie's and Ray's of course) I got to meet the newest baby boy, Solomon. He adorable like all our kids! It was a wonderful visit but as usual not long enough for me. We came home with lots of goodies from Ray's garden. I swear the best tomatoes I have ever tasted!!! We are still enjoying them. And all that canning my sister does would kill me but I'm sure glad she does it! I am going to hate it when I run out of her pickeled banana peppers! Well, so much for Tennessee. We leave Wednesday morning for Portland, Or. to visit with Mark, Eric and Mitch. I'm sure you will hear all about it when we get back. See ya

LHS 50th Class Reunion

September 5th was the 50th reunion of my graduating class in Lebanon, Tennessee. It is an event that I truly look forward to each time we have it. It is an opportunity to visit with old friends and catch up with all the news from my home town. This year was no disappointment. We had a great attendance considering the size of our class. We had a prayer for the classmates that were no longer with us and for others that were ill and unable to attend. Dinner was great and I thought well planned. I know Lex liked it and he's a "food critic". LOL. I think we all enjoyed the entertainment. Our songbirds not only still sounded great but maybe even better! Of course they have been practicing for 54 years!! I told Ed Lasater that he was dong really good. Not only did he still have his voice but his HAIR too! All in all I thought we each one looked pretty good (some better then others) for a bunch of old people. Here are just a few pictures. Lex and Me and the singers.
