My family lived in Dick's neighborhood in Nazareth and we had horses, so one summer day our daughter asked if we could go for a horseback ride. Nancy, Dick's wife, was one of my best friends and I hadn't talked to her for awhile, so I suggested we ride through the woods to her house for a short visit.

When we arrived in their backyard, Dick and Nancy saw us and came out to greet us.  We were sitting in our saddles, chatting when my daughter's horse decided he needed to use their lawn for his bathroom and proceeded to leave a pile!  I was mortified because I knew Dick took such care of his property!  I got off my saddle and attempted to clean up the mess but Dick merely laughed and called Mike out to do the messy deed!  What a gentleman!! 

Dick will always be remembered.

Grammy and Pappy loved their time with their grandaughter, Sierra. Pappy often referred to her as his "Cinderella Girl" because of her beautiful blonde hair.

Our whole family loves visiting Grammy and Pappy. This is a picture of our youngest daughter, Kalynne, running on the beach with her daddy and Pappy enjoying time together behind her. This was in 2012.

Some Halloweens our children have asked us to be some unique things. Sierra was even a treasure chest one year. Evan made us all proud when he requested to be a Crayola Washable Marker in 2010. Jeanelle did some amazing handiwork to make it happen.
