Genesis Space Probe VBS at Town North

Our wonderful cast. I got to be their director for the Mission Control Sessions.
Michelle, my wonderful friend who took on the job of Director. I loved being her assistant. We had 70 children. We had 60 workers. It was awesome.

Star Commander John did his normal energetic thing.

We were only able to recruit one little one from our apartments. Caitlyn loved every minute of it.
We put Susannah in the Judy Jetson outfit that I wore on the opening day. Too bad no one got a picture of me in this. :) Whew!

My Nephew Nathan's Graduation from Highschool

I do love my nephew. He now attends CSU in Fort Collins and plans to be a dentist like his dad and brother.

Nathan and Grandmama Johnson

Heather and her cousin Sam, are 3 months apart. Susannah and Samuel are three months apart. It is such a blessing to get to be close to the next generation.
My brother,Mike, took the graduation party out on his fabulous sailboat.
Susannah had not fear and loved every minute of it. Notice Heather with a firm grip on her life jacket.
Road trip on the way home from Kemah to Dallas. This kinda sums up this baby's attitude toward life.

Susannah's first trip to the Zoo

This bird house was full of adorable little parakeets. Troy is feeding them with a seed stick.
I usually don't take pictures of animals, but they were just right there and so easy to see.
This is a sun bear. He is the smallest bear.

I thought the White Tiger was unusual when one was a special guest at the Colorado Springs Zoo. It turns out this one lives all the time at the Fort Worth Zoo.









Notice the king and queen in the background. It was just incredible how they seemed to be posing.

The redbuds trees were blooming and the weather ws perfect. What a wonderful day.
Thanks, Troy and Heather for letting me tag along.

A visit from Aunt Caroler

My other college friend and bridesmaid came to Grapevine on her spring break. She is a teacher in Leander, Texas outside of Austin. I am so blessed that we have stayed so close all of these years. Her name is Carol, but my girls always called her Aunt Caroler!
Heather and Susannah met us for a fabulous day at the Grapevine Botanical Gardens.

The tulips were in full bloom.


Susannah squatted like me as I was taking her picture. She is 21 months old and so warms my heart when she screams LALA!!!!! It is one of her best words. Hard to believe that it snowed the next night. I feel like I am back in Colorado.



Grammy Birbari comes to Town

In 1969, God brought my dear friend Sharon into my life when we lived on the same floor at the University of Texas. She now lives, with her husband, on a ranch in Wyoming where she takes care of 11 horses. She has 4 grandchildren who live in Fort Worth. We love our more frequent visits since we live close to Fort Worth.
Second generation of friends playing in front of the Southlake Town Hall.

Eating lunch together at the Corner Bakery!


The oldest of Sharon's grandchildren. She had a marvelous time with Susannah.
