Family Celebration

This time of the year is always a little sadder for us.  4 years ago our Daughter Monica passed away, and since that time we have always had a little family get together. This year was no exception. Nothing fancy just our Son KR, Our Granddaughter Holly and her Husband Jameison.   

I just realized yesterday that on her birthday she would have been 49.  Times sure does pass fast.  We took time to look at our old family pictures, most of which were black and white.  Brought back a lot of good memories.  One of my next projects will be to find a method to transfer those old black and whites to digital as well as our 2500 35MM slides.   In this day and age there has to be a way to do this.  If you know of when please drop me a note.   

Nancy made this Cheesecake. Great taste

Deviled Eggs are always a treat.  

Family Picture.  Nancy is showing off the first
pictures of Monica

More Monica pictures.   KR is looking at the old Olan Mills
album.  It cost about 50 dollars when we signed up for
it and glad now that we did.  Not sure what the cost would be now

Jameison, Holly, Rick and KR.  

Holly made this delicious Chocolate Cake.  Everyone
had their share and then some

Excuse the bad picture.  It was the camera's fault.
Fully automatic and sometimes it goofs.  This is
the only one twosome I had so will be keeping it

Jameison, Holly and KR going over more family pictures.
Part of the collection are news articles and pictures of
my side of the family.  My Father was killed in WWII
and the obituary was one of the articles they saw.

No dinner is complete without the kitchen mess and cleanup

Nice Picture. KR and his Mom

Great Macaroni and Cheese in the Rachel Ray Dish
