Garage Gallery of Art

As promised in an earlier blog here are pictures of mine and Jennifer's art gallery. We enjoy putting jig saw puzzles together and I decided it would fancy up the otherwise plain wall of our garage. Do any of you have interesting hobbies?

Guess Who?

It's me, Judy, still trying to get more activity on Branches-and-Twigs. With the busy lifes we all lead we could pass a relative on the street or sit next to them in a resturant and not even know it. So since we don't get together very often...what better way to get to know each other than through blogging.

The Night Before....

.......we, the citizens, of this great country of ours elect a new leader. May good judgement be with each of us in the voting booth!!

I hear this is national blogging week/month....one of the two....anyway, in celebrating the "art" of blogging; I understand we are suppose to blog everyday. Not sure that will happen here but will get something out there. And request and encourage other family member to post on Branches-and-Twigs an update of what is happening in their daily life's.

My daughter in law, Sonja, is the one that introduced me to blogging and she does such a great job of blogging.

If any of you are fans of Nas-Car racing, then you probably know it is a BIG thing. Well this past week-end was NAS-CAR races at Texas Motor Speedway. Not that I am into it by any means......we went the first couple of years after they built the speedway, so at least I can say...been there, done that....however, our daughter and son in law (Susan and Bill) are big fans. They are one of those that take the camping trailer out to the speedway a couple of days before the big race and stay a day after (just to avoid the traffic), and believe me there is lots of traffic! Preston and Becka had tickets for this year's race so we got to babysit Bo Saturday afternoon until Sunday night. I had been missing the little sweetie since we are not babysitting him full time any longer. Now, I get to be just his "Granny"......whose job it is to over love him and send him home!

Plus Brantley was here for the week-end. And Jennifer came for a visit, so we got to enjoy being with a couple of the grand kids and the great one. So we enjoyed a grandparents week-end. Then today Jennifer came over and we worked on another masterpiece for our `Garage Art Gallery'. I will try to get a picture of our gallery on the blog soon for all to "admire".

Isn't He Cute?!?

Granny left the step stool un-attended and Bo climbed it! He is a little

monkey when it comes to climbing.
Bo loves crawling under things, here he is under the desk.

And here he is under the dining room table.

Hi, I'm Sonja a.k.a. Mrs. Boomer. These are our three sons. They keep us very busy. We have recently moved away from the metroplex, crowds, crime and smog to the heart of the Texas Hill Country. You can read more about us on our blog. I guess I should say that Boomer is Ray and Judy's youngest, so that makes him the grandson of Ray and Naomi.

This is a picture of when Aunt Babe came to visit Ray and Judy last year. They came over for dinner one night. We really enjoyed her stories about shopping. :)

Starting a new trend.....

2008-08-25T19:47:00.000-05:00

FAMILY CELEBRATES TRIUMPHS AND SHARES ADVERSITIES ACROSS GENERATIONS AND ACROSS MILES.
.....and since we are all family lets stay in touch.

Some of you may be "old hands" at blogging....but not me. However, I think it will be a great way for us as a family to keep in touch and really get to know one another. In this fast pace world that we live in, and with all the new additions, both by marriages and births, it is next to impossible for all of us to get together.

So let's do it through the internet. Take a few mins and let everyone know how you are connected to this "Family Tree". And since everything has to have a starting point....we will start with Ray and Naomi Barker.

***********************************************************************************

Help....me get started!!!!!!!

I am the youngest of Ray's and Naomi's eleven children. I am 63 years of age, so some of you may say "that's old" and some days I would agree with you....but age is only a number. What's yours??

Raymond and I live in Irving, TX. we have been married 46+ years....how about you?

We have 3 grown children- Susan, Donna, and Boomer, and six grandsons and one grand-daughter and one great grand son. We are retired and loving it....don't know how we worked all those years....but didn't really have much of a choice since we like to eat! I retired from Southwest Airlines and Ray retired from TTI - Electronic Distribution.

This is a picture of "our bunch" back in June. I wanted it at the bottom of the post but do not know how to locate it there...yet.
LOL.....Judy
