TURLEY REUNION

WOW WHAT A FUN TIME-IT EVEN SNOWED ON US AT THE RIM (IT LOOKED LIKE CHRISTMAS) FAT FLAKES JUST BEFORE HEBER (SEE PICTURES)-THIS IS END OF MAY-WHATS UP WITH THAT?
ALL MY SIBLINGS WAS THERE-THOSE THAT TOOK PICTURES PLEASE SEND ME THE ONES THAT I OR MY FAMILY ARE IN-I WANT TO MAKE A SLIDE SHOW. I DID GET PICTURES FROM MY COUSIN DAVID & RICHARD LEE OF GRANDPA GEORGE WORKING ON THE TEPEE MOTEL AS WELL AS WHEN HE WAS THREE AND THE FAMILY WAS ABOUT TO FLEE MEXICO. I WILL TRY TO DOWNLOAD THEM ALSO.
WE HAD AWESOME RIBS THAT KORRIN MADE AND JOANS ROLLS-DUTCH OVEN TATERS- WOW EVERYTHING WAS SOOOOO GOOD.
COLLEEN TOOK ME AND LOGAN, KARLI, & JOEY FOR A WALKING TOUR OF WOODRUFF BEFORE LUNCH. WE WENT TO THE SCHOOL HOUSE WHERE I WENT TO FIRST GRADE BEFORE WE WENT TO LOUISIANA. THEN WE WENT TO THE HOME THAT I CAME HOME TO FROM THE HOSPITAL WHEN I WAS BORN-IT SURE DOES NOT LOOK THE SAME BUT IT IS STILL STANDING AND LIVED IN. THEN WE WENT TO THE RIVER TO THE OLD SWIMMING POOL AND CROSSED THE OLD BRIDGE- THE RIVER IS SO LOW IT DOESN'T LOOK THE SAME- MY GOSH ITS ONLY BEEN 50 YEARS!!!! COLLEEN TOOK PICTURES I WILL TRY TO LOAD THEM ON.
THEN IT WAS TIME TO GO- ALL-EVEN LANDON & KRISTIN & FAMILY, CAMERON & AMANDA & FAMILY CAME TO GILBERT WITH US AND WE ALL GOT TOGETHER AT OUR HOUSE SUNDAY- LANDON & KIDS HAD TO LEAVE BEFORE DINNER AND SCOTT & KRISTA & FAMILY AND MATT & SARA & FAMILY CAME BUT WE ENJOYED WHAT TIME THEY COULD BE WITH US. WE HAD A GREAT MEAL AND PLAYED GAMES-THE KIDS LAUGHED AND CHASED EACH OTHER AROUND-ITS GOOD TO HAVE LAUGHTER IN THE HOUSE AGAIN-WE LOVED IT!!!!
MONDAY WE PICKED PEACHES AND DAD & CAMERON CUT UP THE FALLEN TREE AND TRIMMED THE PEACH TREE SO BRANCHES WOULDN'T BREAK- IT WAS A BLAST HAVING THEM HERE-HATED SEEING THEM GO EARLY TUESDAY. PICTURES & SLIDE SHOW SOON TO FOLLOW.

BIRTHDAY TIME

YEP ITS TRUE!!!! MY BIRTHDAY CAME WITH A BANG-OR WAS IT RUSHING WATER? WELL BRENT DID IT FOR ME-GOT TICKETS TO GO TO NIAGARA FALLS- I'VE WANTED TO GO THERE SINCE ABOUT 8 OR 9 YRS. OLD. WHAT A THRILL- FLOWERS IN BLOOM- TULIPS, DAFFODILS, TREES LOADED WITH BLOSSOMS-EVEN THE DANDELIONS WERE BEAUTIFUL THE BRIGHT YELLOW FLOWER AGAINST THE BRIGHT GREEN-STUNNING. THEN THE FALLS WERE EVEN MORE THAN I COULD IMAGINE-FABULOUS DARLING.......

THEN ON SUNDAY WE WENT TO THE CHURCH SIGHTS- HILL CUMORAH, SMITH FARM, SACRED GROVE, PALMYRA & LAST THE PETER WHITMER FARM. YOU KNOW WHAT "IT REALLY IS TRUE-ISN'T IT". AFTER BEING THERE - AT THESE SACRED PLACES I COULD FEEL THE SPIRIT SO STRONG THAT THE THOUGHT KEPT COMING TO ME. WE ARE SO LUCKY HAVING THE GOSPEL IN OUR LIVES. THE AREA IS LOADED WITH SUCH PLUSH FARM LAND-NO WONDERS THEY LOVED IT THERE BUT I KNOW THE WINTERS ARE PRETTY BRUTAL-BUT SPRING IS GREAT.

I WILL TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO PUT THE PICTURES ON SO YOU CAN SEE A LITTLE OF WHAT WE SAW. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME- HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

AND THE AWARD GOES TO.......

YEP YOU GOT IT-AMANDA SET ME UP. WELL HERE WE GO -I'M TYPING IN WHATEVER COMES TO MIND OF WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW. MY WORK IS GETTING EVEN MORE CRAZY-I'M WORKING 4 SHORT SALE-3 LISTINGS & ONE BUYER- I HOPE I MAKE IT THROUGH CLOSING-WITH COMMISSIONS IN TACK. IT LOOKS LIKE DAD MAY HAVE NEW BOSSES-HE ISN'T SURE WHO THEY WILL BE BUT THEY WERE NOTIFIED THAT THE COMPANY WAS BOUGHT.

END OF JUNE IS MY 40 YEAR CLASS REUNION-I WONDER WHERE THOSE YEARS WENT THAT I'M REFLECTING ON. I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT BUT I'LL BE MELLOW AND JUST GO WITH THE FLOW-NOT- I'M BRAGGING ABOUT MY WONDERFUL HUSBAND AND FAMILY-I KNOW THE PARTY WILL START WHEN I GET THERE!!!

END OF MAY IS THE TURLEY FAMILY REUNION-I'M EXCITED TO SEE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS-VERY RARELY DO WE ALL GET TOGETHER- HOPEFULLY WE WILL GET TO SEE CAMERON & AMANDA AND MAYBE LANDON. COLLEEN IS GOING AND MAYBE SARA AND FAMILY-KRISTA IS NOT SURE SHE CAN MAKE IT AND MELODY IN SCHOOL & CAN'T GO-BUT WE WILL TAKE WHAT WE CAN GET. THAT WOULD BE A MISSION NICELY ACCOMPLISHED-JUST TO BE THERE WITH ALL THAT CAN MAKE IT. MAYBE I'LL GET SOME PICTURES TO SHARE WITH YOU.

BEGINNING OF MAY IS BIRTHDAY TIME- I LOVE BIRTHDAYS!!! THIS ONE MY SWEETHEART BRENT MADE ARRANGEMENTS TO TAKE ME TO NIAGRA FALLS-I'VE WANTED TO SEE THEM EVER SINCE I WAS A LITTLE GIRL-JUST A FEW YEARS AGO. I'LL TRY TO POST SOME MORE PICTURES-I WANT TO MIX IT UP A BIT AND HAVE FUN AND BE OUT AND ABOUT SEEING ALL I CAN SEE-PROBABLY WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

NEXT WEEKEND NEPHEW WESLEY IS GETTING MARRIED. ALSO, AUNT DORA WILL BE HERE AND WE ARE GOING TO GET UNCLE BUDS TEMPLE WORK FINISHED AND HAVE THEM SEALED. IT WILL BE GOOD TO SEE EVERYONE.

THAT BRINGS US BACK TO NOW. PAUSE AND CONSIDER I'M NEW AT THIS SO GIVE ME A BREAK-BRENT AND HELEN
