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)

Daddy is 78 years old

Orange Beach 2019

Once again, we stayed in Phoenix 3 - unit 3036.  It seems to be our favorite.  High enough that we can see everything, but not too high in case we have to walk the stairs instead of the elevators.

Annabeth got me this for Mother's Day

She is in her happy place

nothing like the sunset....unless it is the sunrise.

THIS is what we do on vacation.

Easter 2019

We had great fun having an Easter Egg Hunt at Mawmaw Conlee's house.  We love seeing the "kiddie" aspect of the holidays through our grandson's eyes.

Annabeth is 19 years old.

Dwayne and me - married 26 years.

Sarah, Justin, Noah, Hunter and Dallas

Christmas 2018

We had a sweet time with Daddy and Marilyn at Faith Baptist Church for their Christmas Eve services.

This was us at Bellevue's singing Christmas Tree

Thanksgiving 2018

It felt so odd to not have Austin at home for Thanksgiving.  We sure missed his loud self.  

We had to include him in our picture of "our kids"

I sure am Grateful for Dwayne

my sweet girls.

the big boys were at Aunt Libby and Uncle Herbie's house, but Dallas was there "cheesing".
