Nate Crocker and Abby Anderton

Yesterday began a wonderful life long adventure for two very special people and I am getting another son because of it. Yes, wedding bells are in the future and both families are so happy for Nate and Abby! They both agree that God has arranged this union and they are keeping Him right in the center of their home and lives. Nate plans for the proposal was a beautiful hill on Patton Road at the Arrington Vineyards. On his knee and the ring hidden in his boot, he surprised Abby with asking her to marry him. I have never seen her so happy . We gladly welcome Nate to our family and know he will add so much. Couldn't be Happier !!

A very special evening!

Louis and I had a wonderful evening with Nate and Abby at Nate's beautiful home in Manchester. A delicious meal, prepared by my daughter and retirement card and flowers. These two are a delight to see together and looking forward to what the future might hold.

Our Precious dog, Allie

Everyone enjoyed ALLIE--She made us all SMILE!!




























Today, our hearts are breaking in the loss of our Allie. She has given us much to love and smile about over the last 16 years. We were so blessed to have had her. We will always miss her.

My Grandson, Kyle turns 18!!!

Birthdays are always great, but probably for all of us, turning 18 years old is awesome! Our handsome and talented Kyle has the Big 18 today and we are all cheering him on in this next passage of life. We love you, Kyle -- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
