Happy Holidays Everyone

I just wanted to wish all of you the most blessed of holidays seasons.  Time is too short, so love each other with all of your hearts, as you never know when our day will come.  I am not sending out Christmas cards this year, as I can't afford to, and am also not in the Christmas Spirit this year without Mom.  I am so very sorry that I have not contacted you my sweet Aunts, Uncles and Cousins -- I'm just having such a very hard time since April 17th.  I hope you all will stay safe, and know that even if you don't hear from me, you are all always in my heart -- I love you all, and you all are always in my prayers.   God Bless you all!!!!!
Love you all very much,
Bev

Merry Christmas Memaw

I just wanted to wish you my Memaw (my name for my mom) a very blessed Christmas, as you are in the best place ever.  I miss you so very much every single day my dear Memaw, and this Christmas is going to be ever so hard without you.  I just can't seem to get in the Christmas Spirit this year because of you not being here.  I just hide in my house because I am so very sad every day since you left.  I miss having morning coffee with you, and taking you shopping, and just spending time with you talking.  You were the glue that held our immediate family together as best you could, and now that is gone as well, and you know why, as you see everything from where you are at.  You know all the truths -- you know all and see all.  Thank you so very much Memaw for your acknowledgement of me on the night you passed by playing the "Walton's Theme" that no one else could here but me.  That was the most special gift you ever gave me.  You knew I had gifts as you did as well, which no one, except me, ever knew.  I promise to use the gift you've given me always for good, never evil.  I miss you so very very much Memaw, you were the greatest Mom ever.  I am glad you are not suffering any more, and wish I didn't have to either, yet someday we will be together again, and we will know each other once more.  God bless you Memaw, and please come see me sometime.  I love you more than anything else Memaw, and I miss you so very very much -- it hurts so bad.  Give my love to Wayne Covey, Betty Covey, Dad, Lonnie Wood, Herald Vigue, Randy Gierke, Mary Lewis, Nancy Saunders (my boys other Grandma), Cindy (Naomi's friend), Lynn, and all the other people that have passed over within the last few years or so that I can't remember at this time.
I love you oh so much Memaw.
Your loving daughter,
Beverly Binder-Baker

Expecting

Chris And Tiffany Aller of Ft. Worth, TX are expecting Catherine Elizabeth Aller on Oct. 18, 2008.

The pregnancy has been going well. We just began seeing the doctor every 2 weeks for the home stretch. My dad, Dave Aller will be visiting for Thanksgiving and getting to know his newest Grand Daughter. I can't tell you how much we are looking forward to being parents. The amazement of life in the belly has changed many thought processes and priorities.

God Bless.

Bevs Family




Pictures of my whole family, of the fuzzy, and not so fuzzy kind. Over 30 years of rescuing cats now. Will keep adding pictures as I get them. They are out of order because I posted them as I could find them (not in order of importance).
