Happy Birthday, Melton

Melton,
Hope your day is happy and stress-free.
See you soon,

Reunion! Reunion!

So here's the deal. I frapped around and didn't make any plans to cater or pot luck or anything. So we're having hotdogs and hamburgers on the grill. Anyone that lives close enough is asked to bring a side dish. Those that are driving from farther away are off the hook. I need to know if anyone needs veggie dogs or burgers. We can accommodate that. We can also make turkey burgers if you need them. But you have to let me know.

So far, the weather is being really cooperative. I don't think we're going to be roasted. Something new for June in Texas. I am getting out the chickenfoot and Mexican train dominoes and if you don't know how to play...GREAT!...maybe I'll win. I have a kiddy swimming pool for our little ones and a pop-up tent for some shade for them.

I also have a Wii and challenge you all to a bowling tournament. If you have controllers, bring yours. I have two.

We should be up and moving by 9 or 10 so come when you are ready. There are three new hotels in the area around my house. Holiday Inn Express; Baymont Inn and Days Inn. Easy access to all the fun.

Here's the address: 4841 Shenandoah, Wichita Falls, TX phone 940-692-9841. Please let me know you are coming so I'll have enough food. I'll send letters to our computer challenged relatives. Oh, and it's Saturday June 6.

Can't wait to see you all and meet all the new babies. Bring your cameras and let's make some new memories.

Celeste

I just got off the phone with Celeste. She's in North Hills Hospital, but should be released sometime today. She had a really bad reaction to a medication and it made her tongue and throat swell, which required a breathing tube. She was in ICU yesterday, but was stabilized and moved to a room. She sounds really good and is looking forward to the reunion at Candy's.

Thanks to Candy for letting me know so I could check on her. By the way, Jody was in the ER when she came in - what luck!!

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all of you cousins who are moms. It's the toughest job in the world, but the most rewarding as well. To those of you who still have your moms, hug them, love them and enjoy them. Those of us who no longer have our moms, it's bittersweet, but I know I have wonderful memories of a wonderful mom. I still miss her every day. My own Mother's Day treat was yesterday when Amanda, Sherami and I went to Lone Star Park for the horse races! Caden had a ball, too! Brady was the only guy around and he seemed to enjoy being out in the pleasant weather since the rain held off.

Sorry to have missed so many birthdays these last few months. Hope everyone had a good one. Please feel free to ignore mine when it comes around - I plan on it! Yikes!

Love,
Celeste

Jody wants you to know

...that Buster Cusenbary is retiring from the Graham Police Department. A very nice article is in the Graham Leader. I am supplying the link here. Check it out.

You're a lucky fellow, Buster. Wish I could retire, too. Don't catch ALL the fish.
Love,
Candy

Mike, Mike...who knew?

That I would not be able to get to my computer for three days? Goodness. Happy birthday. I'm sorry I didn't get this posted until after the fact. I hope your day was great!
Love,
Candy
