The year will still be without Dick and Shirley, as Dick is still not up to the trip to Oklahoma. Tom and his family were in Missouri as Mary’s baby had to be taken early (six months into pregnancy). But we did have Aunt Wilma Ford from Kansas and her daughter Patty Ford from Kentucky did attend.

There aren’t as many pictures this year. Why? Kyle had to work and he always has 250 plus pictures. Even I had less this year and I’ve yet to get any pictures from Laura or Marie. I’ll start with a few group pictures of those who attended. But even these are in three pictures not in one mass picture that we try to take each year. But these three pictures do show the 40 people attending this years reunion. This was another wet year as we had rain early Saturday morning and all afternoon which played havoc with the group picture and outdoor activities.

About all you can say about the last few days is its been cold, hot, wet and busy. Lotsa of mowing going on Saturday getting ready for the coming over for fathers day. And a very busy time Sunday with Matt and Laura and families over for home made ice cream (the best in years) and kraut paddies/rolls or whatever you call them. Everyone left about nine last night after watching golf.

But all thru the night we had thunder and rain, at least starting around 2 AM. And its been raining ever since. I know places to our north have had over 5 inches but we’re at about 2 inches here at the house.

Here are a few of the pictures from yesterday.

On May 16th, at Skiatook High School, Kevin Loveless got his graduation diploma. Lotsa family and friends attended. The pictures below are generally of Kevin’s total family, both Matt’s and Michele’s families.

Many years ago when the Karen and Steve Johnson family was just starting, they moved into a house here in Tulsa. Its in a great part of town, one of those great areas that costs just about $50,000 above normal because it is located in this ritzy part of town. Anyway, part of the house, I should say the part detached, a garage, was really not in that good of shape. It was leaning a little to the west and to the north then.

But it has gotten worse over the years. We, Karen, Kyle, Marie and I started addressing the garage late in 2007. Some of this effort is shown in pictures showing the bracing of the garage and cleaning it out. I was leading the effort to bring the structure down with the help of other family members. We had a dumster ordered and tools from a local rentall were signed up for. But “they” (whomever “they” are) had someone come in to look at what it would take to bring the garage down and “they” said it was something that should only be handled by professionals.

Accordingly I wasn’t allowed to address the problem. What with the December 2007 ice storms and subsequent rain and wind storms this year, nothing was accomplished. But a few months ago, a neighbor turned in Karen to the city for limbs hanging in her trees and as a result of that inspection, they saw the garage. They said the garage must come down.

Its now down thanks to a local contractor. These pictures show some, if not most of this effort.
