Gotcha!!!!



Grandpa calls this a "kissing sandwich"!

We are sooo blessed to announce our new grandson: Joshua Shen Cryer. He comes into our family via the far east. He is a blessed little boy and so are his parents! I'm thinking if they don't tell him he's adopted maybe he'll never know.......

Three Days and Counting.....

To Gotcha Day!!!!!!!!

We can hardly wait to meet our little Joshua Shen!

Tomorrow morning my daughter and son-in-law fly to Beijing. On Monday they will fly north to the large city ot Shenyang where they will meet and welcome this sweet little guy they are adopting. Our whole family is counting down the days! This journey can be followed on www.our-china-doll.blogspot.com

Happy Belated Anniversary #7!!

We were traveling when our "youngest" had her anniversary so this post is a little late. We love you both and are so blessed by your wonderful marriage and the family you have created....despite your quirks! :)


We're so proud of our attorney, son-in-law, specializing in "Intellectual Law"!





Congrats on your new home!!!

He's Da Man!

My honey out did himself for our anniversary this year!! He fixed me a Surprise candlelight dinner in our fifth wheel complete with a linen table cloth (can't believe he found it) a scrumptious meal and ,a DVD I had been wanting to see.






















The meal consisted of: Grilled pork chops with brown sugar brine and onion-peach marmalade, grilled crook-necked squash and kale (both from our garden), wild rice, garlic/onion rolls and I made strawberry pie. The pork chops required brining for 24hours and included fresh rosemary from our garden. The onion-peach marmalade was "exceptional" combined with the rosemary. We had seen the recipe in a Sunset magazine while flying back from California. When he said "Grace" he asked the Lord for thirty-seven more years!

A special treat was a surprise visit of one of my best friends and her husband from Japan!

Thirty-Seven And Counting!

Thirty-seven years ago we tied the knot - tight! What a ride it has been!
(FYI: The girl in the striped dress is our youngest daughter-s mother-in-law!)



Here we are in front of the recently retired Air Force One at the Reagan Library.
I'm lucky to be your FIRST and ONLY Lady - Love!



This was our honeymoon cottage in Pasadena, CA.




Who would have thought spending time with Grandkids would be sooooo romantic!





I love spending time with you, Babe and look forward to many more years!
