Our Extended Family and Friends
This is Mom and Dad on Darlene's side.  They are the foundation of our wonderful family.  We lost Dad in 1996 (just a couple weeks before Jerek was born.  They would have been great friends!  He is missed very much.
This is Darlene's sister, Peggy, and her husband J.D. (Tudor).  They own and operate a feed store.  We all live in this area and are able to get together to celebrate all occasions.
This is Denise, Peggy's oldest daughter, and her kids Justin and Shanna. Denise lives in this area and works for her folks at the feed store.  Shanna just graduated from high school and is going to college.  Justin is working in Arizona.
This is Kim, Peggy's youngest daughter, and her family.  The pretty girls are April and Chelsea.  The baby is Kim's granddaughter, MacKenzee.  They live in Arizona, only about a 2 hour drive from us.  The other picture shows April and MacKenzee. 
These are Peggy's grandchildren from her son, Wade.  They live about 120 miles away and come to visit often.
This is Eddy's sister and her family.  We don't get to see them very often.
Of course, friends are very important too.  This is Jo and Steve Lynch.  We have been friends forever and have gone out to eat dinner and play cards every Friday for years and years!
Eddy and Steve at a company picnic.  They volunteered to be the target in a dunking booth.  Needless to say, they both got pretty wet!  The fact that they volunteered for this punishment shows what kind of people they are.
This is our good friend, Adele.  She is one classy lady.  Not only is she pretty and intelligent, she is funny and sweet.  One in a million!!!
This is another good friend, Susan.  We met on the internet several years ago and talk to each other whenever we are both online at the same time.  Susan has come to visit us a couple of times.  We always have such fun!!
These two good-looking people are Bibiana and Renan.  I met Renan on the internet about two years ago and we have become very good friends.  They live in Brazil and are both working and going to school.
Renan plans to come to the States next year to work for a few months.  He wants to experience American life.  After his job is finished, he will come to visit us and we will show him around a bit.
