A "Man of God"

This is my older brother Arthur (65). God took him home today. My younger sister Linda and I always called him our "favorite" brother and we were his "favorite" sisters. His life was dedicated to his faith, doing God's work and being with his family. We will miss his simple ways, his sweet smile and his big hugs.

Back In America!!!

This is a picture of our grandchildren taken the Christmas that Anna, John and family left for England. If you look closely you will see Sadie, Jack and Sam in this picture. They are back home now and I hope that we will get an updated picture this Christmas! They all are the joy of our lives!

A Special Birthday!

First, all our grandchildrens birthday's are special. We have 3 teenage granddaughters and today Sadie Katherine is celebrating her 14th!! Happy Birthday!!! Love, Gramma & Papaw

Wildlife Refuge

Okay, these are the last shots from my trip to Oklahoma. Actually, I didn't take these because the day Linda took me there I forgot my camera. Linda went back after my visit and took some shots of the refuge and some of its inhabitants (buffalo and Texas longhorn). Because they've had so much rain everything was so green and beautiful.

The Little Chapel

April 5, 1963...my wedding day! Bill and I were married here 44 years ago when it was owned by Centenary Methodist Church. The MYF (Youth Fellowship) met in this chapel for many years until it was sold and became a historical landmark. Everytime I go and visit family in Lawton I always drive around and take lots of pictures (I think I got that from Anna!). My sister Linda took me all over and we saw Texas longhorn, buffalo and lots of rain!! I had a wonderful visit and miss them already. Love to you all...

Wayne's Drive Inn

This is the famous "Wayne's Drive Inn" that I frequented as a high school student (many years ago!) here in Lawton. They still have "Sissy Burgers", REAL "Cherry Cokes" and more! It was the place to go and just drive around in circles and visit friends all hours of the day or night. We have brought our children and grandchildren to visit here and now this is "the place" to come when you are in Lawton.

My Family - Lawton, OK

Hello from Lawton! I'm here visiting my dad, sister Linda and brother Arthur for the next few days. I was born in Kinston, NC but I grew up here where my dad was stationed for most of his military career. God has blessed me with a wonderful family here and I cherish all of them so much. My dad is doing very well for his 88 years. Linda who I lovingly call my "favorite sister" is my best friend. And, my older brother, well, he radiates his faith and loves being out on his land. He has built a small home for himself outside Lawton...very simple and just enjoys being with family and friends.

As for me, I am still waiting for my luggage which went somewhere else! So I have no camera, no phone charger and last but not least no clothes!
