Here we are celebrating presidents day

 TERRY

Terry is awake and reading the paper.  I would say she is same same so nothing new.  We will just continue to take things one day at a time.  

Not much to say today so will go way way back in pictures.

Here is our family gathering in 2011, wow that is almost 11 years ago.  We made Glorine's home kind of a home base and our gatherings took place at a community center near her place.  It was a fun fun time.  As one looks at the picture you will take in the fact that three are not with us anymore.  Actually as I think about it we are so blessed to still have so many.  I will not mention any names but today people in the picture range in age from 85-12 I think.  And IF I can find the picture from 2015 there are more little ones!

For some reason I can not find a group picture of our reunion in 2015 but here are Dave and Marlys at the reunion as we celebrated their 50th.  In 2011 it was Joan/Ron's 50th and IF we had gotten together 4 years later with the entire family it would have been Judi/John's 50th I believe.  So here are the longevity marriages in the family.  At this point Joan/Ron are the leaders at 60 and looking at more, I believe Judi/John come in at maybe 53(?) and looking at more and Marly/Dave made it to 54+. Gail and Carmen came in at 40, Helen/Mike I think 20+ and Mom and Dad at 50+.  I would say a pretty good track record.

I am not sure WHY but this is perhaps my favorite family picture and we have many of them.  I am guessing it was in 1955 or so.  IF that is correct ages go like this: Ronald-17, Janet-15, Joan-13, Dave-11, Carmen-8, Helen-5, Mom & Dad 43.  I may be off on the year by one or two.  I can tell you that it was taken on the farm in the NE corner of the living room.  I am thinking Helen did not get the orders to NOT smile!!!  AND NO deer on the wall, way to go Mom.

Could this be Mom and Dad's 40th???  IF so it would be in 1965.  

I am thinking this was in 1947 or 1948.  I am thinking the Lee clan was pretty darn cute/good looking!!! Just so you know Helen was coming in a couple years!  That darn Dave was good looking from day one to old age. 

I am thinking this was at Joan/Ron's place and maybe 1976 or so.  I think Becky is trying to tell us something!

Now I am SURE this was Mom/Dad's 40th and it must have been in the church in Veblen and was taken in 1975.

Well I will end with a picture that is NOT my usual taste.  BUT it was a very funny thing and I am sure only Cynthia and Mike can relate to it.  

I may get back to it at a later date but for now will leave anybody who is reading this wondering what in the world is funny about that!!!  I promise you it was very funny!

My FP is gone so time to sign off for the day.  I greatly enjoyed finding the pictures and posting them and I hope others enjoyed them as well.
