Thanksgiving 2019

We sure missed Austin this year, but it is just too far to come for just a couple of days.

we get ALOT more of these before we get a decent picture ;o)

Austin was able to facetime with us and sent a picture of Thanksgiving with Sophia and her family and friends.

Thankful, Grateful and Blessed

We are thankful, grateful and blessed!

Dwayne & Kay take on DC

we went to visit Austin and tour the city.....riding the metro....by ourselves.  Traffic, even in the suburbs was a mess.  We stayed in the sweetest Air BnB in Silver Springs, MD.  3 miles from Austin, but about 35 minutes away from him.

 I sang the Laverne and Shirley song every time I went down and up those steps to the apartment.

 We were behind a funeral at Arlington National Cemetary

 of course, I had to get a picture of Bill's saxaphone.

 the next president????

Dwayne is teaching

Dwayne got him a "Side Hustle" working as a teacher for VIP kids teaching E

nglish as a second language to kids in China.  You should hear him....he is too cute and much more creative than I ever realized.

Annabeth's Birthday - Backstreet Boys Concert

These sweet sisters sure do love each other.  Thank you Sarah for coming to Memphis to take your little sister to this concert, especially so I did not have to go :O)

Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat - Cumberland Playhouse - Crossville, TN 2019

reminded me of our "Granny Jackets" that Granny Trammel made for us.

Visit to Clarksville to see Sarah, Justin and the boys

Since they have an extra room down in the basement unfurnished, we asked if we could just buy furniture for that room and use it instead of a hotel.  We call it the Mimi Suite.  Gratefully, my son in law, Justin was ok with it.

Summer 2019

The summer of 2019 brought many changes, Austin is still in graduate school at the University of Maryland in Washington DC so we only see him 2 or 3 times a year and Sarah and Justin were transferred to Clarksville TN with Teen Challenge.  It is a great ministry and we are so proud of all of them, but it sure makes us miss them all.  When Austin was at home, we all went to Incredible Pizza for a birthday party and the whole family was there.....oh and Noah broke his arm on the first day of summer camp....just like Sarah did when she was little.  And if you notice, Dwayne grew a little goatee while on vacation at the beach.  Austin said he could keep it as long as he did not look like KFC's Col. Sanders :O)
