We began our Christmas Eve festivities with a free breakfast at IKEA on the morning December 24, 2009.
ABOUT US
- Gary and Rhonda
- Gary and I are empty nesting in College Station, Texas. Unfortunately, four of our five children and fourteen of our eighteen grandchildren live in other states. We enjoy keeping in touch through frequent visits, cell phone conversations, e-mail and blogs. We take advantage of every opportunity to travel, so expect photos from wonderful destinations in the upcoming months. We also love spending time with our children and grandchildren, so expect photos of our very good-looking posterity posted here!
OUR WEDDING DAY-June 16, 1972
