I wanted to share a few more of my loves...

Scott & his mom.  I really hit the mother-in-law jackpot with Kathy!

The Helms Family.  Not all of my aunts & uncles could make it to the wedding but the ones that did sure look good!!!

 

 Dad and all of his beautiful sisters

Mom with her brother and sisters.  (Mom was the baby of 14 children!)

Grandmother Lanford

 My sweet, sweet Sue (right).  I miss her more than words can say.

The young girl to the far left is my cousin, Lauren.  Lauren is now an actress in New York City.  The handsome boy to her right is my cousin, Daniel.  Daniel is now a teacher at Myers Park High School.  (Yes, I've been married for a while).  The beautiful lady in the middle is my Mrs. Ruth Patterson.  She was the pianist at my church for over 40 years.  She is also the mother of one of my oldest & dearest friends.  

And, because I can't wait to show this to him at my yearly physical next month....here is a picture of me & my doctor, John Sensenbrenner.  LOL.  He & his wife Kim are dear friends of our family.  

 

Thanks for indulging me as I shared the photos with my family!!!  I know it has been a long time since some of my aunts have seen these photos!

Photo Share...

My friend, Connie, said she would like to see a picture of my wedding dress.  I went a little overboard.  Sadly, this doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of all of the pictures in our photo album.  I wish I had the patience to scan them all in for you.  

My dress, along with the bridesmaid dresses, were made by Jim Hjelm.  The top had little white "pearl like" beads which were made to look like flowers.  The bottom was silk taffeta...I think.  

Linda, as you can see, the church has been remodeled since my wedding.  Long gone are the brown wood & green carpet!  I have to say that time has not been good to my photos...the carpet was not quite that ugly of a green color!

I am so thankful to say that all 3 of these girls are as big a part of my life now as they were then.  

PS.  Nothing was more fun that spinning around in that dress. 

Scott & my brother, Kevin

 

This picture shows a little bit of the back of the dress

Yet again, the carpet was NOT that shade of green.  ??? It was more of a blue...

The new & improved Helms Family

Connie, I told you I wore socks... (socks & Mary Jane's)
