Happy Anniversary

Yesterday, Bus and I celebrated our 39th wedding anniversary. I think back to the young woman who giggled through a ceremony at the Oakland Temple. We had some good friends there but unfortunately, neither of our parents. My parents weren't members and Bus' parents weren't endowed. It was still a great day and a very smart decision on my part, Bus will have to answer for himself. We have had our ups and downs, happiness and sadness but we both agree it would have been so much harder without each other.

We were so young, it s trully amazing that we have had so much success at our marriage. We have five great kids and love them all.

More Shelby and Lewis

Shelby had the hard part of the mowing to do, the swing set. Then, she had to show a little cheesecake for us. The car picture was one that Lynnie told me not to take her picture so of course, I took one!

Lewis Family and Shelby Hit Town!

I just thought I would post some pictures of the visit of Shelby and what a big girl she is becoming. She loved "babystting" Colby and Jessalyn. After helping Grandpa mow the lawn, they had to cook their dinner too. They roasted hotdogs over the open fire. Traci and Jake had taken Colby to meet his new cousin Emma, the one he will get to love to pick on! We had lots of fun in the great outdoors right in our own backyard! We love this yard!

Reunion and Picnic

Bus, Bill, and Mike standing in the hall at MHS like they always did and watched the girls go by. Bus with his New Haven Elementary gang. The three women on the back left were extremely instrumental in the whole reunion and did agreat job. A classmate from the class of 1969, decorated and donated all of the cakes. There wer five, this one being the one for the whole reunion. The bottom photohas Lisa, Jan, Brian, Patty, me, Bus, and Joanne just before we called it a day after the picnic. Again, it was great to see everyone. It's time like this that make me miss Manteca!

40th High School Reunion

We went to our 40th high school reunion last weekend and had a ball. It was wonderful to see old friends and share memories and times that only old friends can remember. High school was a great time for us. both Bus and I lived it to our fullest. Mostly, we have great memories. Did we love to go to class all of the time, of course not but we picked classes we could have fun in. The top picture is a bunch of us, mainly Buffalo Gals and me the one lone cheerleader, in front of our mascot that is in Dawson Center. I led a few cheers around that buffalo. Yes, boys will be boys. Next is a picture of our old seminary buddies at Brian Fontes home in Manteca (one of four homes he owns). Bus is sitting and talking old times with his lifelong friend George Perry. The bottom picture is a group of my Lincoln Elementary buddies. One of my most special friends is fourth from the right, Jeanne Thomas. It is always good to see her and she is one of my heroes who suffers from MS and keeps going.
