PCB with Mark and Sam July 3-7,2020!

Mark and Sam flew in from Nebraska to meet us for a few days at the beach over the 4th of July before Keith, me, and the girls headed to Universal. We played lots of cards (even in the pool - Mark bought the girls floating cards), watched fireworks on the beach, drove out to take a look at Margaritaville, where Sam and Mark will be moving to next year (10 minutes from PCB condo), even watched alien/UFO documentary (we used to be huge fans of the show X-files!). Sam and I talked for hours and hours as usual... we never run out of stuff to talk about! The time flew by, but it wasn't too sad when we said our goodbyes because I'm heading to Nebraska in August to spend a few days with them, then Sam and I will roadtrip to Lake Okiboji for a girls weekend! 

Hot off the grill!!!

Flashback! This is an old photo of a reunion with Keith and his highschool buddies! (Keith had colitis in this photo, so smaller than usual)

Madison Zinn got a scholarship to USAF Academy in Colorado!

Mike and Cathie Zinn brought Madison home before we brought Ellie home. They were a huge inspiration for us adopting from China! Madison was a little limp noodle when they handed her to Cathie. Failure to thrive... but with some loving and nurturing, she bloomed to her fullest! So proud of that sweet girl!

My Aunt Betty after her second hip surgery! She's been through a lot, but always stays so positive!!!!

Finally... we got lights on our courts in Lane Creek! My neighbor, Larry, and I have been fighting for this for the last 3 years!!!

1,2,3, GO!!!



BAM, What?!?

My mom's baby brother passed away this week. He was an amazing uncle! I adored him and will miss him like crazy!!!
