So I'm back!

Been a long time since I looked at this blog.  A lot has transpired in our family since I last posted.  The most devastating thing was the loss of our daughter Michelle on June 27th,2010.  A quote I once read...You bury your parents on a mountain top but you bury your children in your heart...couldn't be more true.  Thankfully we had her in our family for 54 years but she passed way too young and left her husband, her children and her extended family heart broken.
We were visited this past summer by our daughter Linda and her two daughters, Shelby and Shaleen as well as by our son Ron, his wife Lisa and three of their grandchildren, Shalee , Elton and Logan.  We are still waiting to see Garrett and his wife Lindsey and Teasha and her son Christian.
Since June of this last year we have had custody of two of our great grandchildren, Madison and Michael.  No need to go into the circumstances surrounding their placement but they will probably be with us for awhile.
