Grandparents Day and Thanksgiving

Grandparents Day, 2010 - Aliza singing with a group, reading a poem by herself and making a decoration.
A few pictures from Thanksgiving.  We missed getting any pictures of the little boys except for baby Lucas and didn't get Braleigh either.  We'll have to do better next time.

a few last pictures

A few of the gravestones in the big cemetery in Galveston, Maggie sitting at the table with us at Shirley's, and the front of the 61st St fishing pier.  It is painted pink and yellow - very cute.

Houston Quilt Show

Here's a sample of the 137 quilts that I took pictures of at the Houston Quilt Show.  I got Janel in one of them.  I am going to try to get 100 or so of them into a picasa album.  On Sunday, Janel and I walked around almost all of the big cemetery on Broadway.  I took pictures there until my camera battery gave out.  I need to go back and take some more.  It was so interesting.  There were graves there from the 1800's and even a few earlier than that.  There were well known people from Galveston's history, some who died in the 1900 storm, many veterans who were in the World Wars, Civil War, Spanish American War and War of 1812.  Some interesting carvings and inscriptions, of course.
