Hi

Shannon how do we post a comment on someone's blog? It has changed since the last time I posted. Am I missing something or do I have to post a new blog each time I want to comment? Anywho... it sounds like everyone is having a lot of fun. I think you can tell when a family is growing up by the vacations that people take. Our family is definately growing up. I am off to Dallas for a week. I really have never been out of the four corners except to California and Mexico so it should be really fun. I am however not looking forward to the weather. I have heard that it is terribly hot and humid. I struggle with our 104 degree weather here already! Everyone stay safe and have a great rest of the summer.

Old Age and Other Disasters

Just returned from a trip to Europe with Kristina and Audrey. Talk about a trip from .........! I think age is finally telling me I won't be doing this kind of trip again....I think I will stick to cruises and staying put in one place. Too much walking aggravated the old joints.....but it gave me an exciting experience. I went from the Louvre in Paris to an ER in an ambulance with 3 very good looking EMTs. tee hee

We all lost luggage at some point along the way, and we all had flights either cancelled, missed, delayed or in the case of the 2 young girls.....totally rerouted.

One of the highlights (other than delicious food) was a visit to Pompei, south of Rome, where we walked the ruins of the city destroyed by the volcano Vesuvius in the first century AD. It was amazing.

My next trip will be to take it easy in a resort in Colorado, visiting with Spence's brother and cousin. I think that will be just the ticket.

LaMar and Lisa and gang just spent their annual week at the beach with a few days afterwards at our house. They just got home last night. It is always fun to see the cool grandkids...

Evan and Liz and their kids are doing well, and I am told that Luke is getting roly poly. He looks just like Evan did as a baby of the same age...see the pictures above. The black and white one is Evan, and the colored one is Luke.

Aunt Linda

Hey Hey Hey!!!

Hey everybody! I can't wait to go to Arizona tomorrow! It's gonna be so much fun! But I still have to pack a few things and get some new books from the library.

I can't go on vacation without some good books! I can just picture it now; I'm sitting in a lawn chair by our cabin when a huge bear comes and attacks me! I easily swat him away with one of my powerful novels and he runs away with his little stubby tail between his legs! Ok...that was really weird.

So you guys, I can't beleive how cute baby Luke is! I love babies! They're so cute and adorable! And if Jackson is reading this, CONGRATULATIONS DUDE!!!!!!!! I remember when I got baptized I was so flippin scared! My dad baptized me. And if I remember right, grandma & grandpa were the ones who filled up the font with all the water. I like to do baptisms for the dead too. Anyways, I better go and get my chores done or else I might get in trouble.

luv ya!
