Welcome Back

It’s been way too long since I posted anything on the blog so I will make a valiant attempt to get current.

Happy Birthdays to Caden, Colleen, Sean, Erin and Allison.

Happy Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day.

Daughter #1 (Colleen) still is in New Jersey and I will give it another six months before “F” bombs will be part of her normal conversation. She is the perfect example of burning the candle from both ends, working, traveling & entertaining during the week and partying on weekends.

Daughter #2 (Erin) is currently having chemo treatments and is doing extremely well. She has three more treatments to go, then a few weeks of radiation and then sit back and enjoy life.

Daughter #3 (Meaghan) working, parenting and staying busy.

Daughter #4 (Allison) still engaged to Henry, moved From Stamford, CT to East Chester NY and is now shopping for cards announcing her intended elopement. Don’t say a word but it’s supposed to be 1/11/11. Boy won’t we all be surprised.

This is a picture of myself and Kay Savage, if it looks like we too friendly it's only because we've known each other since 4th grade, plus we haven't seen each other since 1964. Kay is from Fort Smith Arkansas and was visiting family here in Spring, TX. I wish "The Madge" would go out of town more often so Kay could come over and play. And here is the "The Madge" and Janelle Welchel from Baton Rouge at the Four Seasons NYC Oct 16th celebrating Diane and Bill Kenney's 40th Anniversary.

Diane and Bill

Halloween 2010 - Sean dressed up as Spiderman and Caden chose to be the Invisible man.

This past weekend was a great weekend, LSU beat Bama, A&M crushed Oklahoma, Tech over Mizzou and UT lost to K State. We were also honored to have, "a wanna be son-in-law", Jude Reed down from St. Louis. Jude is a true "Coonass" and cooked authentic Cajun food consisting of Gumbo, Shrimp Etoufee, Boudin Balls and some Cracklin. This feast was topped off with lots of beer, wine and whiskey. On Sunday It was humorous to hear Jude apologizing for things he might have said the night before and for performing a jack knife dive into the hot tub. The next time Jude visits he promised to bring his wife Lisa and as always it was good times with great people.

This Friday we head down to Florida to board the "Jewel of the Seas" for a two week cruise. One of the scheduled stops is Haiti but since we haven't renewed our Cholera vaccinations I don't think we will be going ashore. Then it's off to Cartagena, Limon, Colon, and Cayman Islands.
More to come "I promise".
