April 2011 – Maries 76 st Birthday

April 18th, 2011

Well the gang all gathered at the home base to celebrate Marie’s 76 st birthday. These are just some of the pictures that were taken. I’m having problems with my newer camera so some of these aren’t very good. One thing wrong with the camera is that the battery runs down very fast. Its getting to the place that I’ll probably have to get another camera or go back to my old one which only takes 3.2 MP pictures.

March 2011 – Laura’s Trip To The Space Museum In Tulsa

April 4th, 2011

Steve Langley had family (his sister Margaret) in town this month and part of the time was for them, along with Laura and Dustin,  to take a trip to the Space Museum at the airport here in Tulsa. They seem to have gotten a lot of good pictures that I will share with you.

Some of the group pictures were taken at the Langley home in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.

March 2011 – Phil Taylor and Family

April 4th, 2011

Phil, Amy, Brady and Brock must have taken a rip over the spring break period to the Lyndon B. Johnson State Park some place Texas. Here are some of the pictures I lifted off of Facebook.

March 2011 – Hutchins of Scott City

April 4th, 2011

Dan and Barbara Hutchins were brought up in Scott City Kansas and we all knew them. As a matter of fact Jim and Jane were classmates of Barbara until the folks left for New York I think it was 1955 or maybe 1956. Anyway I always use to tease Barbara as they lived just a couple of blocks south of us.

Anyway we have stayed friends and as I attend the all school reunions in Scott City, I see her every two or three years. But we stay in touch via the Internet. Therefore, I’m privileged to be on their mailing list and of course I catch a lot of pictures from the Scott paper as well as the Internet.

Barb and Dan celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary the 12th of  this month so I thought I’d putsome  the pictures in the BLOG, at least a few meaningful ones.  The pictures are of Bard and Dan as they were in 1961 and 2011. The family picture was their Christmas Card of 2008.

February 2011 – More Of Stephanie

April 4th, 2011

Stephanie was even on the basketball court this month. She seems to be wearing the number 4 or 24. Her folks, Steve and Carol, are very very proud of this young lady.

February 2011 – Evelyn Albright Passing – Dec 23, 1930 to Feb 13, 2011

April 4th, 2011

We lost a member of the family very suddenly on February 13th. She was taken to the hospital in Muskogee by her daughter early  morning on the 13th after throwing up blood and suffering abdominal pain. This was the same problem she had last summer when she was hospitalized in Tulsa.

We went to Muskogee and spent a few hours with her before returning to Tulsa. She was resting when we left. Around 5PM she went code blue and could not be resesitated.

Evelyn was the oldest of the 4 Taylor kids.  Paul came next followed by Marie and Dick. In 1995 the Taylor kids decided to have an annual get together at a state park here in Oklahoma. Annually 35 to 45 people are in attendence. Evelyn was known as the “slime” lady because she always made slime for the younger children to play with. She will be greatly missed.

Marie and Evelyn were very close and spent a great amount of time together prior to Evelyn moving to Muskogee late last year. They went everywhere together.

I’ve known Evelyn since 1957, as Dave, her husband, hired me to go to work for Commercial Credit Corporation in Topeka Kansas. I was out of college and could not find a job and my dad owed CCC money. I worked the eastern part of Kansas collecting buck and repo’ing all sorts of stuff. I was transfered to Tulsa and later hooked up with the Albrights as they were from Muskogee. Evelyn’s sister Marie, I met by hooking up with the Albrights on a visit to Muskogee.

February 2011 – Dustin’s 11 Birthday

April 4th, 2011

Dustin’s birthday was kind of a split type celebration due to the bad weather and because he had a few friends over for his initial celebration. His birthday is the 11th which was the date of the initial celebration (I think). The family get together was the following Sunday February 13th.

I don’t know the guys names who attended Dustin first celebration but that doesn’t matter to much. I imagine someone will tell me later and I’ll add them to this presentation.

February 2011 – Snow At Laura’s and Steve’s

April 4th, 2011

Even Skiatook had snow, in fact they had more snow than we did. Lucky for the people in this area, most of them had 4 wheel drive vehicle’s. These are some of the pictures taken at Steve’s and Laura’s place during and after the storm.

Dustin liked playing in the snow.

February 2011 – Out At Last

April 3rd, 2011

Finally, after 6 days we are out. Even went to the grocery store. On the way home we ran into something very interesting. We tuned the corner near one of the church’s on Garnett. There on the field next to the road was a flock of geese just walking around. I got a picture or two plus a short video which unfortunately will not play for reasons of size.

February 2011 – Day 4/5

April 3rd, 2011

More new snow last night which requires cleaning off the drive and sidewalks again. All walks and the drive will be cleaned by the end of the day. It looks like we may be able to get the truck out tomorrow but not the cars. The snow in the streets is to high and high centers the cars. Maybe it will get warmer next week and we can possibly get out.
