From the Brazeels

This from the Brazeel clan - Suzy in particular. Boyd and I are enjoying going to Graham and staying in our little house there. It's 986 sq. ft., and we get there about once a month, and our son Mark and his family go stay on other weekends from time to time. This has taken the place of our international travels, it seems, but that's ok. We really enjoy it, and I've already seen much more of the world than I ever expected to. We're still enjoying watching our granddaughters in their various activities: Kaylee in track, Marisa in volleyball, and Emma in drama. All very talented, pretty girls.
When I get this thing figured out I'll try to put some pictures on here. I'm technologically challenged, though, and a slow learner!
This is a great idea, though, and thank you, Candy for your efforts.
Your twisted cousin, Suzy

The Boda Bunch

All of us Boda folks are doing fine. Floyd broke his ankle and is in his second cast, with another to follow, I'm sure. Eden is a senior in high school and is thinking of being a Theater Arts teacher. Nick is in 8th grade and is playing football for the Graham Dogies. Madison is almost 11, and in fifth grade, doing great in school and loving life. Buzz is fat, sassy and very spoiled-nothing new there!
I am fine. I run several websites and stay busy busy busy!

Calling for Pictures and Memories

Steve is going to scan some of the old pictures I have into my computer so that I will have some pictures to post other than Owen (my grandson) or Mandy (my dog). Though I have to tell you...Owen is stinkin' cute and a credit to us all. I have two pictures already that I want to share with you all. One was taken of Mama, Susan and me when we lived in Graham and Daddy was in Korea. We took the picture to send to him. It's one of my favorites.







The second is my favorite of Daddy. What a handsome devil. As he would say, "I don't know what it is that makes me so handsome on a Thursday."



Look out, ya'll. I know Owen is going to show up soon. Get your grandkids ready.

Love you all,
Candy

...and NOW we start!

Dear Cousins,
We have an opportunity to keep in touch...really in touch. Through email and blogging. Who woulda thought? I have set up the beginnings of a blog for us.

Each branch of our family tree will need to be monitored by one of us. For instance, Susan and I will fight over rights to the "Dan, Jr." branch.

We can invite our children to take part and post about our grandchildren (sigh). We can write about our pets, our jobs, our spouses, etc. Since we are planning a reunion soon, we can post about what we want to do and eat. We can discuss available dates and the potential of way too much heat for the backyard.

What do you say? Want to give it a whirl? If not, tell me now so I can stop this.

If so...let's go!
Candy
