Adrienne at Miney's

Multi-generational Easter

How does Grammy manage to look gorgeous in every decade?

A star is born

How sweet to see little Adrienne at the piano. I look at this and immediately picture all her little students just like that, learning to play from their grandmother.

That's our Lauren!

Ancestors

"That picture of the old lady ancestor is a very distant cousin of my grandfather that none of us ever met. She always lived in California."
-Grammy


So the California trend did not begin with Dana!

Mexico

"In 1956, Grandaddy Ford, Granny, Adrienne, and Thelma Lee, Grandpa, and I flew to Mazatlan on Mexico's West Coast to deep sea fish. Thelma Lee, Adrienne, Grandaddy and I all got seasick and fishing drew a blank. The donkey ride was less than exciting!"
-Grammy

Grandpa and Zoe

Proof that I am compiling a true documentary of our family - I am even including photos where I hate how I look. If only Grandpa could have passed on more of his good looks to me. At least I had a shirley temple to make up for it a bit!

Anyone else grateful that the '80's are over?

"We love you Grammy"

A song by Grace Vanloh

You've shown me you love me all these years
And I've been watching you, a servant giving yourself away
You've taught me so much and encouraged me
Your life is an example of a heart set on God

Your gentle touch, your beautiful eyes, your joyful laugh, how you make me smile
Your caring hand that have reached out to us a million times
And with this in mind we'd like to say to you

We love you and we are so blessed to have you
Just think of how you've shaped our life in so many different ways
You've been there for all of our beginnings
You've been there whenever we've needed you
And I know the Lord our God is so pleased with you so we just want to say
We love you

We are all sons and daughters of the Lord
Made for Him, made to serve, made to glorify Him
Made to Love

We love you and we are so blessed to have you
Just think of how you've shaped our life in so many different ways
You've been there for all of our beginnings
You've been there whenever we've needed you
And I know the Lord our God is so pleased with you so we just want to say
We love you, we love you

Brickners

One of Grammy and Grandpa's best couple friends, Eilene and John Brickner. They've been like family to many of us!

Church Picnic

"That's Bob Thieme sitting to the right of Grandpa.  In the back are Harley Walker and Marian Norman.  Can't quite name the others."

Birthday

A submission from Bill

I LOVE this photo! Thank you so much, Bill, for sending it. Now we need to hear both from Bill and Adrienne all about what's going on when this was taken!

I would love to have photos from everyone in the family. New, old, ancient. Send 'em my way! Leave a comment if you need my email address. Can't wait to see what you all have in store!!

Happy Day-of-Birth

I firmly believe that birhtdays should be a day where the mother gets celebrated for having given birth all those years ago. [I swear I held this belief before giving birth myself] So - happy day-of-birth to my mom! Love you!! Thanks for going through that horrible torturous experience for my sake!

Happy Birthday Jennifer!!

A Big Happy Birthday to our own Jennifer Vanloh!

I had grand plans of posting some old pictures of her today - but my computer/internet situation is creating a little barrier. I'll have to do a belated birthday post once things get settled. In the mean time - please join me in celebrating her! We love you Jennifer!!

"I actually don't recall ever seeing that photo before, but I believe the man with me is Maurice Chevalier.  The guy to my right is Bob Hamm and the other girl is Kay Cooksey."
