:clap_1: Sorry I missed you and several other members of the family last night at the RedBar, OldTimer. I have a couple of photos I will try to upload later if they turned out decent. I believe I met the remainder of your family and Pat's family last night and today. Wendy is a trip. I hope they all made it home safely last night or this morning.Oldtimer said::clap_1: :clap_1: We all survived!!! :clap_1::clap_1:
It was a great weekend and everyone of our immediate family except the travelling steele4 were in attendance. We had a "full house" and even had a few folks staying at Mama Sis & Daddy Brown's house in Santa Rosa.
We tried to surprise the "QUEEN" but she is just way too smart and she trained us too well....we could not overlook this important milestone. We had four generations of Pinkstons and lots of laughter and sharing of memories of Grayton and our childhoods.
Thanks for the good wishes. I'm sure one of my talented siblings will post some photos later.
Check out our banner, too. A collaborative effort, and really nice. THANKS, GUYS and Wendy!
Again, I say, that you all come from good genes. Mama Sis must be extremely proud of the values instilled in her family. You guys are some of the nicest, warmest, most welcoming people whom I have ever known. Your lives may not be without troubles along the way, but you are tops on my list of people. I say you are all good peeps and I love you all dearly!
