NEIL BROUSSARD'S VACATION PHOTOS FROM MEXICO...
After viewing the pretty photos that Peggy (Branham) sent, it spurred Neil Broussard to share some of his Mexico vacation pictures. He didn't say exactly where in Mexico these were taken, only that they didn't stay at one of the expensive resorts. Come to think of it, he didn't say if they stayed in the huts you will see in a later photo. I'm assuming the guy in the picture is Neil. 
"We also just returned from Mexico, however, we didn't stay in the high cost resorts. No phone (Yeah!) No hot water (Ugh!) No A/C (No problem) Electricity (Sundown til 11 pm) Some bugs and crabs (still no problem) Lots of sand, beautiful beach, beautiful water, good food, great time with son and daughter( from Sweden) and daughter (Houston).
Enjoy the blog and hearing about everyone." (Neil)
Now for a little different scene, taken by Ter Cothran. By the way, Ter has changed scenery pretty drastically in the past two years. He went from the dry Arizona desert around Lake Havasu City, AZ to the piney woods of East Texas in Nacogdoches. He nicknamed his log home and acreage "The Ranch". (below right)
East Texas did not turn out to be his cup of tea, so Ter put his house on the market and moved to Prescott in northern Arizona to be near his son Kelly and daughter Amy, who is moving to Prescott with her husband and family as soon as their house sells in California. In the meantime, Ter's "ranch" sold, and he has bought a new home in Prescott. From the looks of his neighborhood, it is almost in the country.
This is the view from Ter's bedroom window! Needless to say, this was taken in January. The only pictures to rival this are the ones of Gene Routh's home in Colorado. Now that is wayyy too much snow for this Texas gal!
The photo below is Ter Cothran and his pride and joy, grandson Austin.
I am thinking of doing a "web album" (like the ones to the left of the blog post of the reunion, etc.) of everyone's grandchildren. If you think this is a good idea, let me know and start sending me the photos. I can start as soon as I have more than my own! I'll need names and ages.
NEWS: James Hays is doing well. Only eight days after his double coronary bypass he went to a Medical Society meeting at the Country Club in Brownwood with his son who now practices medicine there. He said he looked pretty cute carrying his "heart pillow" to the Country Club. He really is not supposed to drive or ride in a car next to an air bag for a while yet. Bet he could use a telephone call or card!
Peggy (Virden) Sharp had her six month checkup after heart surgery, and she is doing so well that they will take her off all medications except blood pressure meds. She and I went to the Ethnic Festival last Saturday and ran into a couple of classmates. Glenn Smith was gracious and bought me and Peggy french fries, and peach cobbler for dessert! Oh, my. That was delicious. Then Peg and I shopped all the vendors' booths looking for special birthday and Christmas gifts. Too bad the rain cut the festival short the next day.
In the photos are Glenn, Peggy, Bill King, and his friend Betty who is from Knoxville, Tennessee. She has been working at Shannon Hospital in San Angelo and will be there until June. A very pretty lady indeed, Bill.
Then there is Janice Amarine, who was in deep conversation with our newest physician in town, Dr. Mark McKinnon. He seemed to be enjoying the day at the festival, too.
I hope everyone is getting outdoors and enjoying this beautiful spring weather. I already have some "accidental" sunflowers in my back yard, thanks to the birds and their feeders.
Let the good stuff happen!

Great pics, Marilyn, and I loved the captions and stories as always.
ReplyDeleteThe festival sounded like great fun--Ballinger must be more fun these days than when I lived there.
Thanks for the update.
