Happy 75th, Bill!

What a joyous occasion to celebrate cousin Bill's 75th birthday in El Paso over the entire weekend of January 29-30. There were several folks formerly from the home territory of Crane MO who gathered for the occasion..Mary Jane and Bill Wagnon, Joanna Cunningham, Carolyn Barnett, Jerry Hilton and "Billy Pierce", our honoree. In the pictures you see all these folks, including Carolyn's friend, Dick...the trio of Pat Mundy from Enid OK, Mary and El Paso friend, Judy McGuirk...Jerry with Bill Wagnon and Joanna Cunningham, and then our gang out for the traditional Saturday morning breakfast at "The Clock" in EP. Thanks to Wayne Tallant and the McGuirks for hosting the birthday party (and Bill loved his gift basket from Susie's South Forty in Midland). The stories that were told have no doubt gotten better over the years..but the weekend of laughter, hugs, sharing and celebrating was unforgettable.

For all that has been....

Dag Hammarskjold said it best: For all that has been......THANKS! For all that will be......YES! Its a bittersweet moment - selling our warm, friendly, blessed home in Midland - but a joyous one as well as we have met the new owners and know they will enjoy this home as much as we have. Our possessions have been loaded once again by Emrichs - the 4th family move in which they have so ably assisted us. We will move in to our new home in Wimberley around the 1st of June...but in the meantime, we head out for more adventures as we journey west. Enid friend Pat Mundy will join us today with her trailer as we head for El Paso to celebrate cousin Bill's 75th birthday and then on to McDowell Regional Park at Fountain Hills AZ for an extended stay. We plan to be back in Texas for the Bob Wills Days at Turkey in April. Praise God for all these adventures!
