Pictures from California

Here are a few pictures from our trip... like I said, I didn't take many. My camera just doesn't seem to be attached to me lately. I need to work on that! ;)

Kennedy and her friend Skyelynn
(pic thanks to Skye's mom, Brenda... who happens to be one of my high school teachers... which makes her... older than me. *ahem*) :o)

Goofy girls!

One of the tables at my Bompie's memorial service

My Nonnie and a picture of my Bompie from when he was in the Navy

Nonnie and Kennedy

The memory board that my cousin Becky and I made for Bompie's service... we had a good time making it... spent a lot of time together, laughed a lot, cried a bit, and remembered a lot of good times! I miss them!!





This is the house where my brother and I grew up. The day after my Bompie's service, he and I drove out to see it. It looks EXACTLY the same as when we lived there. Crazy!!! Lots more memories there!


They say you can't go home again, but it was sure nice to see everyone, even if it was for a sad reason. My Bompie's service was really nice. A lot of people shared some really great stories about him. He was a wonderful man and will be missed a lot.

I wish I would have gotten pictures of Kennedy with my cousin's daughter, Kylie. They are the same age and had so much fun together! I just didn't think about it. Next time, I guess. Anyway, that's it. Not much to show through photos, but lots of good memories, and I guess that's what counts! :)

Renee, I'm so sorry for your loss.
The house you grew up in is neat. I never saw a house like that before.

So does your family just like the letter K ;)? It's nice to see a smile on your Nonnie's face given the circumstances. Pretty amazing that the house still looks the same as when you were a kid. Mine does too, but my parents still live there, lol. Well, the inside has changed a lot over the years, but the outside still looks the same.

I haven't been too attached to my camera lately either...seems I am too busy right now! Glad the trip went well though I am sorry it was for Bompie's funeral. How neat that the house you grew up in looks the same. Last time we were in Memphis (years ago) we drove by the house I grew up in and they had changed so much about it that it made me so sad and I swore I wouldn't go back by it every again!
