Christmas 2009

Christmas Day", we made it all the way to Sedalia and back for Christmas with Mom, and got stuck in the drive way. Thank God we
were home. Mom did GREAT, she amazes us, made dinner for all of us . Turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, green beans,dressing, rolls,dumplings, grape salad, cherry salad, pumpkin pie, and still had energy. The dinner was good, nobody can make dumplings like her. The rest of us took a dish, we had plenty to eat, I took chocolate pie, which is my families favorite.

Mom, boyfriend Olan, her kids and grand kids, her dog is on Olan's lap.


My favorite gift, a GPS by Garmin, Thank You Dennis

Fl. Vacation

We took a tour of Kennedy Space Center, very interesting, don't think it was worth the price to get in $125. for 2 of us. I feel I work to hard for my money to spend it so fast. But it was a vacation.
Guess Who?? It was 90+, with heat index of
100 degree


What a treat to get up to see the sun rise.

This was the living room of the Condo, looking over the ocean, on 3rd floor.



The resort had some Fl. wild life to show us. I did not hold NO snakes my guys like them.
