Tim's Birthday

We celebrated Tim's birthday at the lake in February. Deb made a fabulous cheesecake, his favorite.

Our neighbors, the Walters, came and all of Petro cousins. Here is Darrell, Patrick, Jay and Steve.

Andy and cousin Stephen discuss films. Stephen graduates from UT this May with a Radio, TV and Film degree. This is Andy's degree and he loves being in NYC in the television industry.

Nanny and Papa enjoy the fun.

Bolivar Beach

Elizabeth and her High School friends had their annual reunion at the Beach near Beaumont. John and Nancy are invited because they are OUR girls too! We did NOT stay in this gorgeous house. It is the Crenshaws and has been rebuilt since Rita did such devastation to the area. However, Cecile and Harry Phelan had their house next door and we saw the leveled lot. The swimming pool is completely submerged except for the hand rail that went into the pool! (See Below)

Betsy hasn't arrived yet, but here are Elizabeth, Cecile, Julie, Felicia, Martha and Barbara.

Elizabeth takes the picture of Barbara, Felicia, John, Nancy, Cecile, Martha and Julie.

John and Jay rock on the upper porch of the large beach house, where the young folks stayed. John and Nancy stayed in a B & B near by.

Cecile brings Nancy a birthday cake to celebrate an early birthday. Unfortunately, Julie had already left and she shares the same birthday! It was delicious and such fun.

On Saturday, we go out to eat at Steve's Landing. What delicious fish! Here are David and Martha.

Betsy, Barbara and Ted enjoy the meal too.

Nancy's Birthday (continues)

Elizabeth makes a fabulous 4 layer cake as we celebrate Nancy's birthday at the lake. The candles shows her new age - 80!

Nancy and Elizabeth grin!

She takes a breath to blow out the candles!

Nancy shows off her new diamond earring that John gave her for their 60th Wedding Anniversary and her 80th birthday. Aren't they gorgeous! What a surprise!

Tim and John are on a project.

The first time that Nancy wore her new earrings. Note the diamond drop that he gave her for her 50th Snniversary!

Not very proud!!!

Nancy gets treated by Tom and Nancy at her favorite Mexican restaurant, Senor Jaimes. Elizabeth brings another cake. (NOTE: I've never had 3 birthday celebrations with 3 different cakes!) Here are Elizabeth, John, Nancy, Nancy Jeanne and Tom.
