The rest of the Christmas in July report:



On Sunday, we girls retold stories about growing up...even heard Mom tell her story of "Sweet Evelyn" from when she was 15 yr old.



Lori and Alissa at our women's gift exchange.



It was not a quiet gathering. Please note the huge ring Marti is wearing on her pinkie (lower rt corner of pic). Lori was overwhelmingly generous as our host on Saturday. She bought each of us girls what must have been, a 5 kt ring of varying stones. But, you had to be present to receive one.


This year Julie was the recipient of the coveted Rusty Scissors, passed on by Keely. Keely doesn't "do" poems so instead, she did these scrapbook pages.


Mom's kids and their spouses. (l-r) Steve, Marti, Larry, Dee, Penni, Kevin, Deb, (Bill not present :o( ), Phil, Mary, Mom, Maynard, Lori, Dale.


Trying to ready ourselves for the family photo.



Our blood..Marti, Dee, Penni, Deb, Mom, Phil, Lori


Mom gave each of us a Willow Tree angel. I'm not sure, but I believe Mary's was the Angel of Laughter.



Lori took us outside to see all of her flowers. I still believe in miracles.
