Las Vegas Baby!

Corey's 21st Birthday celebration. We were only there 48 hours but since it was a family thing we had a great time. Met Papa Gino, Aunt Chris, Aunt Brianne, and Uncle Deven at Arai for Las Vegas style Buffet dining. It was great, just a little pricey. Hope to go back soon!

Adoption Day!

November 20th was a very special day. We officially adopted Kaley and Ryan. They have been with us since Jan 3, 2003. Now they have a second birthday.

Our Black Lab (Sadie) Fun Day in the kitchen

I know the video is poorly lit and I held the camera wrong but I have learned from my mistakes. We came home one night in November and Sadie apparently took her anger out on the feather pillow that I have had in the dog kennel for 6 years. All I could do was laugh. What else are you gonna do. We cleaned feathers for days. Feathers were embedded in the poodles fur. Sadie was just glad we were home. We never know what she is going to tear up next. Last week it was my $400 plantation shutters. :-(

Opening a sandwich Shop in Friendswood

Just to let you know. I don't have any pics yet but today I go pick up a sampler tray of bakery items from El Hornito Bakery off Hwy 249 and then off to Friendswood to pay 3 months rent on the building. I can't express in words what this all means. I have such high hopes. You know it's not about the money. I want to make money and pay bills but I just want to do something satisfying. Glorify God. I think I can do it this way. I pray I am not outside HIS will. I will try to grab some pics and little videos along the way so I can document our growth. I hope you are excited for me and Sherry and that you will pray that we succeed. Love to all,
Karen

Lanie and I went to see Jackson at Red Rocks Amphitheater in August. Flew in to Denver on a Tuesday, went to concert Wednesday, Flew out on Thursday. This a truly magnificent natural amphtheater. The first concerts were performed around 1908. During the depression, our government sponsored the build out. We were in awe. Jackson was great as usual and the venue was out of this world. I love traveling with Lanie, she is my best bud. We stayed at very nice hotel, Courtyard by Marriott. I hope we make this an annual thing. Karen
