Family and fun times..While visiting our daughter in Charlestown, WV back in 2008 our good friends, Cindy & Doug, who live in Maryland, came to WV to visit us...When we are together there is so much good fun...The funny part is that many years ago I lost contact with Cindy, who use to be my sister-n-law when I was married to my first husband...Then when my youngest daughter, Misti, got married the first time, Doug and her came to the wedding and we started talking and catching up on some news...After that wedding, we have kept in touch ever since...Doug is a blast...He is nice, funny, happy and full of crap...So much so that he reminds me a lot of Richard and that would explain why they get along so well...2 peas in a pod...LOL...I know we are very grateful for our friendship with them and we always look forward to any time we can see them and spend time with them...
The picture to the right is of my ex brother in law, Eddie with his fiancee, Bonnie...After many many years I got to see him again..It was so great to hug someone you have always loved and liked, divorced or not...Eddie & Bonnie live in Van Nuys, California...We don't keep in touch hardly at all but when we do, it's a blessing...Also there is good news, Eddie & Bonnie are getting married in Nov. 2010...We wish them the very best and many happy years...
In this same family of ex's is a niece and nephew...One of the niece's is Cindy's daughter, Kelli...One of the nephew's is Cindy's son, Louis...Kelli and her family live in the panhandle of Florida and Louis and his wife live near Augusta, Georgia...Kelli & her hubby, Kevin, have 3 kids, 2 girls and 1 boy and a dog, Hershey...There is Bayne, Shyler & Kevin, Jr....Louie & his wife, Melissa, have 0 kids but they do count their 2 dogs as kids...LOL...We get to see Kelli & her family whenever we are in the panhandle of Florida...The photo to the right was when they came down to Disney in Florida in 2009...We were waiting to go in to a show...I found a more recent photo from December 2009 which shows how much more they have grown...Bayne now wears contacts and is more confident in herself which is awesome...Shyler will get there in a few years but she is very sensitive...Kevin, Jr. is total boy...All the kids are doing great in school and we love to see them...We miss them when we can't come to the panhandle of Florida...
We don't get much of a chance to see Louie & his wife because there are no campgrounds close enough to their home that we can stop at on our way north to Virginia...It's a shame cause I sure do miss seeing them...This was a very nice picture taken Christmas 2009...We were able to stop at their house once several years ago and that was marvelous...We sat down and had supper and then played a game...Time has flown by because I can not remember what year it was that we visited them...
This is a great photo of a very close brother and sister...This was Louie's wedding day...We missed being there and seeing Louie & Melissa getting married...It is such a great feeling to see a brother & sister that are close...The photo was taken in mid 2007...
So these are the people in our lives that mean a lot to us...We love them dearly...Family means a great deal to me even if you divorced from their family...You can still remain family if all concerned want to keep in touch no matter what...I love them all...xxxooo
