Random Portraits




This picture of Paul was taken at the family reunion in Utopia in 2002. Most of us haven't seen him since he was here last December, but Karen and Lisa got to visit with Paul and Lee in Virginia last week. Lisa and a friend flew east to run in the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, DC and Karen went along to provide moral support. The last I heard, Paul's hoping to be able to visit us in January - we look forward to it.

 
This one, of our "other" Paul, was also taken in 2002 at the family reunion. To be specific, it was taken at the restaurant in Leakey where we ate lunch after exploring the territory north of Utopia and west of Vanderpool. It's not unusual to find "stuffed critters" mounted on the walls of a Texas restaurant or bar, but a bighorn sheep resting behind your chair is a little bit different.

 
Lauren, Angela, and Drew were captured here on Grandmother's patio one evening in Grand Prairie a little over a month later - during my Fourth of July visit to Texas. I thought I'd take this opportunity to mention that all pictures of Lauren taken in the future will be without her tonsils - she had them removed last week. I assume she has recovered by now -  I hope she's not sick of ice cream.
