Pic of me by a square dance friend, Jess Bowen. He won a first place with this at the Orange County Fair about ten years ago. He got me interested in trying too...and I entered some pics...and I did quite well. Never got a first place ribbon though....lol

This is Louie's family at a joint birthday bash for Louie's two sisters, Ella and Marjorie, at our house. Steve and Susie (in black suit and striped shirt) are musicians and do a lot of recording work. Renee' (in blue blouse and blonde hair) graduated from Church on the Way and she became a Christian minister on June 10, 2001. She has done much missionary work and just returned from India....not too far from where I was...but she got sick...and I didn't! Poor baby....lol Glen, in the front row in the white shirt, recently departed for Heaven.

Another three day birthday party at our house. Jim, Marjie, Glen (deceased,) Renee', Marjorie, Louie, Marion, Earl (deceased,) Bertha (deceased,) Clyde, Bernie and Ella. I could not have hand picked a nicer family to marry into so many years ago when Louie and I were young. God was gracious to me and I feel blessed to be part of the Spinney family.

Susie, Amanda, Marion and Steve. Earl was the town barber for many years in Paradise, California. He was so loved by everyone and didn't know a stranger. And Louie was the best man at their wedding. Louie danced with the Maid-of-Honor at their 40th wedding anniversary. Earl taught Christopher how to fish and took Louie and him on a week camping trip while I was back east. How we all miss him!
