Celebration of our parent's 50th Anniversary

The day after the reunion, June 19th, we got together at Barry's house in Lincoln to celebrate Mom and Dad's 50th Anniversary.  It wasn't actually until the 22nd, but close enough.  Jerolyn made brisket for sandwiches, I made potato salad (from Mom's recipe) and Penny (Barry's wife) got the cake.  Brian just showed up, I guess, lol!!  He's not married so he gets a "pass".  Todd and I also took one of the salsas that we won at the auction so everyone could try it.

Here are the decorations:
(I thought this was neat)




 After we ate, we went outside to take some pictures (in front of Barry's weeping willow tree we got them as a wedding present):
Entire group

Front:  LaNeisha (Penny's daughter), Penny, Jerolyn, Mom, Dad, Me
Back:  Brian, Josh (Jerolyn's son), Barry, Ben (Jerolyn's other son), Dave (Jerolyn's husband), Todd

Then we had cake and ice cream


I wanted to get a picture of how green everything was up there - this was take right outside Barry's garage.


(Everything is so brown and dry down here in Texas.)

In other news, we spent yesterday in Dallas.  Todd has wanted to own his own truck for a long time and we're finally taking the plunge.  He picked out a 2006 Freightliner CL260.  We forgot to take pictures but here is the link to see pictures.

We have to go back next week to pick it up, assuming we have all our work done.  We've spent all day running to the bank and making phone calls and faxes and we're still not done.  Tomorrow Todd has to go get his drug test and DOT physical.
