Wayne Lester Welch

Dad, you taught us to love and respect nature, to paint, use a hammer, fish, shoot a gun, be a good friend, use your talents, have a hobby, love music, You are a fisherman, hunter, sportsman, musician...you're a fly tie master, wood carver, taxidermist. You taught us to be hard workers and have fun, to know the difference and learn to balance the two! You taught us to dream. We love you, Dad...we already miss you...

Time to Reconnect

It was time for Cliff and I to reconnect...a lot of activity in our family lately and a lot of work. So, Cliff asked me out on a date to McSwain Lake for a hamburger at the Marina. They're the best and what a treat for us! We found a nice spot under a tree in the shade...planted our chairs...ate and people watched. I loved how this little running, curly haired, watermelon eatin' kid represented "summer"!

A closer look!

As I was taking a photo of "like father, like son" little running, curly headed, watermelon eatin' kid ran by again!


It was refreshing to get away, and rest, and talk and people watch and eat some of the best hamburgers on earth with my best friend. Oh and I bet you thought this post was going to show more photos of the grand kids, huh?! Well, I can't disappoint!

Blessed!!

Memorial Day 2010

Memorial Day is a time to reflect about those that gave their lives for the love and freedom of their country the United States of America...the country I am so proud to call my home. We do remember our fallen and those that are serving today. May we never forget.

Holidays bring family together...some of us played Wii...
Some of us watered plants...

Some of us went bug hunting...

Some of us ate raw oysters...

Some of us relaxed with our buds...
