A Birthday Weekend

This past weekend was my dad's birthday (January 13th.) Here's a photo of him with his beloved steel guitar.



Eric, Nathan and I drove out to visit with them and help celebrate Dad's b-day. Surprise of surprises, my Uncle Jeff was at dinner too. It was his birthday as well.

Nathan was star student in his class last week which meant he got to bring home the class "pet" for the weekend. The pet is a stuffed giraffe named Ginger. She also comes with a diary/travel log for the student to write all their adventures in. So while in Amissville visiting we took a side trip to Washington, Virginia. The first town to be named after our first President George Washington. It's a lovely little town better known for it's 5 star (yes I said 5 as in FIVE) restaurant -- The Inn at Little Washington. Here's a pic of Nathan and Ginger standing in front.



Can you believe this weather we're having in the middle of January?! Here's a pic I took of Nathan and Ginger in front of a forsythia - also in Washington, VA.



Can you read about Washington, Virgina here?



Oh and the family has a new blogger too! Kim Weiss has started a blog. You can see them here, her little one isn't so little any more either!

That's all the fun for today. Time to do some Spring Cleaning!!

Crump/McGhee Christmas Party 2006

Charlie, Martha, Millie, Dave (in the back), Mary, and George.


A Motley looking crew aren't they? It was really nice to have them all together for Christmas! Well, for the party anyway. That does count!

Every year when the Christmas party comes around I really try to get a photo of everyone who came. I've yet to succeed! Maybe next year. If you have a photo that you would like added to my collection here, please let me know.









I felt very fortunate that all my kiddies were at the party this year.









Maybe sometime I'll figure out what order blogger puts the photos in and I'll be able to put them back into some sort of order that they were taken. But I think we can all get the "just" of them. Besides it's all in fun.



And of course I'm very thankful for my family.










A sample or two from the dessert table, always a yummy place to visit.






































MMMMMMMM, oysters from the grill! So, good! Really sorry that Alan and his family wasn't able to come this year. We missed you!

If you see any photos here that you would like a copy of, let me know and I'll get one sent off to you.
