A comment on this next set of pictures...

After reviewing the pictures that I just posted, I realized one BIG thing...
We DO NOT see enough of the Stricklen family, the Frodge family, the Miller family,
the Doolin family, the Stokes family, the Lain family, the Spikes (Sykes) family, the Lewis family and anyone else who isn't in our repetoire of pictures!!! If I didn't state your name, please don't be hurt!!!! We have been told that we are the
big "party animals" and "socialytes" of the gang...but yet there are many we rarely get to see. So, for those of you who do not see your faces often or not at all, please feel free to either invite us over or invite yourselves to us!!!! Then we can make some more memories and paste your family's faces all over our blog!!!!
God Bless!!! Tracy
