This is my family. From left to right is Kevin (my son), Michelle, Tom (my son-in-law) and he is holding our little Miss Shelby. That is me next to Tom and beside me is my mother (the proud great-grammy) next to her in the background is my husband, Jerry, and then comes Kelly (my daughter), then next to her is Chris, and in the front kneeling down is Susan (my daughter and mother of Miss Shelby). We had two missing from this picture. My two big and handsome grandsons Jay (13) and Michael (10).
THIS is who I am.... these people are my life.... and I am proud of each and every one of them. They have brought so much joy to my life.
This is Shelby Lyn. She is the newest member of our family. She is now 18 months old. I have never seen such a happy baby. Who would think that something this small could bring so much joy to so many people. We have four generations still living in my family. Until a couple of years ago there were five generations, but, unfortunately we lost my grandmother just before she turned 98. She lived a long and happy life with all her family around her.
These are my two grandsons when they were visiting the Bronx Zoo. Aren't they just the most handsome young men you have ever seen? I love them very much...(now they are going to say that I'm getting too mushy in front of so many people.. lol) But what the hey... I love you guys very much!!!!Jay, the oldest and the one on top, loves sports. He played basketball for his school this year. He also loves music and plays the drums really well.
Michael, the one on the bottom, is also a sports lover. He is great at basketball too and also loves football and hockey. Michael has always been at the top of his class in school.
This is my little "Muffin".We had Muffin for 16 years and last August she went to Doggy Heaven. I hope she is watching over us just as she did when she was with us.
Obviously this is not a picture of her but this was the cutest little picture I found and it does look so much like her.
This is the house where we live. As you can see off to the side there are no neighbors except a deer every now and then or the occassionally moose will stop by... lol
It looks like we live in the boonies but we live two houses from the main street and in the summer time it is a very bustling town. Traffic and people everywhere. We get a lot of tourists that come here on their vacation.
The picture below should expain why we get so many people. It is just a beautiful place summer or winter.
This is the view from my front porch. It is great to be able to wake up every morning and see the lake. We also have a great view of a pond from our back porch.
....
This is not paradise though. We do have our downside to everything. These pictures were taken after the Ice Storm of 1998. The picture on the left is my backyard trees and the picture on the right is my front yard tree. Unfortunately we lost the Mountain Ash in the front yard. If you want to see what we are going to do with it.... visit my Gardening page...
I hope you will visit the pages that I made up for the rest of the family. There are pictures of my kids when they were small. I also did a page for my mom, which I think came out fantastic. My mom is a very special lady and I wanted to do this for her. There are old pictures on her page. A lot of her pictures are fading now from age but I was able to get 5 or 6 of them fixed so that I could put them on there. I hope you enjoy it.
Thank you.
