This was last summer after a 4-wheeler ride! This is my sister Leslie, her daughter Courney and Cherie, who loves splashing through the puddles. Last summer everybody needed to laugh and be silly. I hadn't heard my sister laugh that much in quite a while

This is picture is a little out of order in our life, but this is a recent picture taken when we were camping and riding 4-wheelers over by Tropic Resevoir. We had a really great time despite some rain and cooler weather. This was taken on Memorial Day weekend. We saw some very beautiful scenery on our ride. I'll share a couple of other pictures with you as well. This is the first time since Raquel passed away that we have left town on Memorial weekend. We went to the cemetary before and decorated her grave, and my Dad and I cleaned her headstone earlier in the week. It was strange leaving, but it was good for us to get away together. Barry and Cherie were suppose to come over and meet us there. . . they never made it. That is another story.

This is where our story begins.

I've never really done anything like this and so this will be my first attempt. Maybe this will encourage me to write down the memories. Forgive me if they are random.
