The big rock building that used to hold dances and such was built by a CCC group that included a friend of mine! I have lots of wonderful pictures of the wildlife in the upper campground. We camped there a couple of times a year for many years.

And I think I got it to work. If you have time, maybe you can link this post since it has some sightseeing in it too. I just want to test it. I know you are busy (I know how it is after getting back from being away) so if you have no time, it's ok and you can just join me next time.

Your daughters are beautiful mirror images of you! And your mom and dad are so talented! Now I know where you get it from! And just look at all those grandchildren...I'm sorry girl but you just don't seem old enough to have that many!!!! I've never been to Texas! I loved the pictures. Thank you! And now sweetie, I have to tell you how touched I was by your beautiful comments concerning my sister. While I was reading I truly did feel God's "feathers" around me! Chari, I thank God for having made friends like you on this thing we call the internet! I really was questioning myself about posting but "something" told me to go ahead and when to post it. I believe you when you said somewhere out there someone needed to read this. I started writing the post a week before my sister's birthday June 8th but just couldn't post it then. Chari, you are wonderful! You always have the sweetest things to say and you say them so beautifully! You are a person that cares! I love you too honey and again thank you for caring and your sweet words that meant so much to me! I hope you are feeling better and getting back some of your get up and go! God Bless you!

Don't know and I'm not computer literate enough to figure it out. Have a fun car show. Our daughter & son-in-law go to occasional shows. He has some sort of project pickup in his garage that he escapes to. And, of course, we have our beloved 71 Suburban; which Bob always says he is going to drive in our Blossom Day parade sometime. He & I aren't really car people, just have never sold the Suburban, and it has gotten old with us.

And you look glowing my dear with your 3 lovely daughters! And your grandkids, how cute are they! I can't believe you got 10 of them! Your Mom is so very talented, I know my Mom would adore that kitchen. It is exactly her style! I am going to show her the pic! Now I know where you get all that creative talent! I love the pics of Corpus Christi, sure makes me want to pack my bags and go on a trip again. I know though, how it takes time to get back into the swing of things! Today was my hubbies 51st B-day and we are having company over tomorrow. Otherwise, I spend a lot of time helping my Mom get settled in her new home and my part time job. Oh, I forgot to mention the drama of my 19 year old daughter. She is still a demanding thing, but she knows I love her so. Thanks for all your kind words and I am so glad your back! Have fun at the car show this week-end. Isn't Gloria just a hoot! I love reading her comments, Texas better watch out!
