A great week end

Laura, Skylar, and Kaelyn left Daddy at home this weekend and traveled to see us. We were so grateful to have a chance to love on these special kids.

Ethel's 90th Birthday

Bob, Nancy, Chrysti, Gail, and Barbara enjoyed celebrating Momma's, (Ethel Sanders) birthday on Feb. 13, 2011. We gathered at Bobbie Love's home in San Angelo to eat bar-b-que and cake.

Cora enjoyed the balloons.

 Momma made her wish and blew out the candles.

 Katy, Curt, and Cora were anticipated guests. This was our 1st time to enjoy the next-to-the youngest great-grandchild. This 4 generation picture includes Nancy, Katy with Cora, and Great-grandmother Ethel.

 Raymond and I enjoyed having everyone at the house for the party.

 

 Who but a granddaughter gets to help open the gifts?

We are looking forward to another party on July 3, 2011 when we hope all the grandchildren with their children will be in San Angelo. All the relatives and friends are invited to come and spend the day with us.



Christmas 2010

Life got busy and now I have time to add our Christmas card picture for 2010. I seldom sent out cards until I had a great reason -granddaughters to show off!

Abbott Boat Ramp Dedication

We have a wonderful neighbor who has been instrumental in Nasworthy Lake homeowners associational work and the Fourth of July fireworks promotion.

Ric, Paul Alexander, Karen Abbott, and the mayor of San Angelo,Alvin New.

Karen shared her day by honoring those who helped her.

"I don't sing!" was her response to the KLAN reporter who wanted a few words for the 6:00 news.

The 4 generations of the family gathered to enjoy this day.

Whiteface First Baptist Church party for Mom

The church at Whiteface has been our family's home church since 1954. Mom and Dad joined with the 5 kids. We were taught, married, and loved by these people. Raymond and I married in 1972. Dad's memorial service was in this church in 1995.

Ed and Fae Jennings and Mom were honored by a going away party this last Sunday.

Bro. Harold Harrison presented them before the church and they received corsages and a boutonniere.

                           A meal was served and then a service of memories and blessings followed.

Lots of hugs and a few tears were shared at the good-bye.

 Mom and Dad baby-sat with these brothers when they were a baby and a toddler.

 Bro. Harold and Janelle Harrison

The latest young couple with a baby whom Mom loved.

This is the oldest member of the congregation, Mrs. Cotton.

My heart was blessed by speaking with these people again.

Bro. Ed was the song leader when I began playing the piano at church. Between him and Lloyd Wall, I played organ or piano for services. I was untrained and had less skills but they allowed me to feel confident and able to serve. Ed told me this day he was proud that I had "joined the ranks of church pianists."

Fae was my GA leader and lead me to learn Scriptures. I became a Christian by these seeds of knowledge.

Mom was a faithful member who served in the nursery many years. She loved the babies and sang "Jesus loves Me" more times than anyone can count.
