We decided to have new windows installed across the front of the old house. It changed the looks (lost its old antique "charm"), but hopefully it will make the living and dining rooms more comfortable for the renters.

Garden, New Windows in Old House
Val diligently prepared for a garden in back of our new house this year. It came up well but so far the tomato plants have very few blossoms. It's getting too late in the season for much to develop now. Darn! I wish we had an 8-foot hedge or fence to block our view into the Jones's back yard! His poplar trees are growing well, and I was excited when I saw him out removing the circular fences from around the bottoms, thinking that the lower limbs would fan out and soon be touching across the open spaces. What he did, though, was sawed off all the low branches up to about eight feet! We have an open view of all his stuff.
Family Reunion 2009
Saturday July 11th we had our first annual Val Williams family reunion (I hope it will be an annual event). Chad and Laura accepted the challenge to be the first ones in charge, and they planned and organized a delightful day for us at their home in Monroe. Lots of good food, plenty of activities for the kids, and warm, friendly people to visit with made it a nice activity for all of us. With the pictures Val and I took we got at least one flick of everyone except Randy's little Kyler. He was too busy buzzing around to get close to the camera. We missed you, Kendall, Lee'sa, and girls. Hopefully next year. . .

Birthdays and a Baptism
Dave and Natasha's twins turned one year old July 1st. They invited us to the birthday party, and it was fun watching all the little children. It was especially fun to see the children of a couple of the guys Dave grew up with.
Cute little people, Aniston and Jack.
The following pictures were taken when Cameron (Travis and Andria's son) was baptized and confirmed. Quite a few of the Val Williams family were able to be there.

Kendall and Lee'sa's Family
Since Kendall and Lee'sa's family hasn't been here for the events I'm posting pictures of, I wanted to include some of their more recent photos from Lee'sa's blog (except for this one of her). We really miss them when the rest of us get together.
Kendall's birthday cake. With Lee'sa being sick from pregnancy, he was very lucky she made him one. A birthday hug from Annie.
