Marlene's Pie

Yesterday we went to Harlingen to visit with Marlene and Bernard. Marlene cooked us a scrumptious roast beef dinner with apple pie for dessert. Then we enjoyed an afternoon of cribbage and the guys were too, too lucky.

 

Two of the Brooker Boys

Butch and Bill participated in the Senior Olympic Golf event in the Rio Grande Valley. They shot a respectable 75 on the Las Lagos Golf Course at Edinburgh Texas.
Aren't they a handsome pair?

Ridge Family

I am new to blogging, so forgive me if this is wierd. We are really looking forward to the family reunion this summer! We rented a motorhome & are all (Gerald, Cindy, Brittany, Tawny, Mitch, Amy & our dogs) loading up & driving there! This is a picture of Brittany, Tawny, Mitch & Amy taken at the pumpkin patch.

Begging

I have been at this blogging thing for years and I take care of 3 others besides this one. I have now started three that I had hopes other people would assist with by adding their input. It isn't happening. It is not at all difficult to do and I have sent many invitations to start. I sent out more this AM. This blog might falter after August unless some of you jump in and tell us what is happening on your branch of the family tree.
You are not obliged to add pictures- a short note is sufficient. You can also ask questions of others you might be curious about and perhaps someone will be able to satisfy your curiosity.
So give it a whirl and find out it is much easier than you think. And it will take some pressure off of me!

South Texas Brookers

Marlene and Bernard are even further south. Currently they are on a cruise to the Panama Canal. Bill and Jo have youngest son Mark here for the weekend. He flew in from Houston and we all went to Pepe's on the River for an afternoon of refreshment and music. I have been working on the park directory and Butch has most likely been wishing he could play golf.

Happy Birthdays!!!

I nearly forgot that TODAY January 15th is the birthday of Jo Brooker and Keri Brooker
