Yes - these are our original wedding cloths - except for the white shirt (had to borrow one from Greg)

 

 

The Bride and Groom on the cake are original as is the wedding cake knife (engraved with our names and dates) and server.

Greg gave a nice story about us...we love you Greg

 

Dianne lost it when she tried to speak about us...we love her...



Our anniversary song - "Unchained Melody"









Friends and classmates

LUCY GRADUATION - SALUTATORIAN

Soon after the Love Creek count we were off to Richardson for Lucy's Graduation.  Of course we have always been very proud of her and now that she is officially the Salutatorian we are even more proud.

Lucy made a wonderful speech

This was an amazing year as our total species count was 76 species including one new county record and a discovery of a new species that has just been recently identified - Western Giant Swallowtail.  Our previous high count was 61 species.
