Cousins

Here's two of my cousins, Maci Oiler and Katie Moore, 1st and 2nd Field Commanders for the Viking Band in Ripley, WV. They're beautiful look-alikes. Katie's great grandmother, Charity Staats Bostic, is my grandmother (Maci's gr-grandmother) Faith Staats Anderson's sister. So they are 3rd cousins. (I had to look that up. )

Silas and Let Casto Reynolds Family Reunion

I think I recognize some Casto family in here besides Let Casto and Silas Reynolds. Who can you identify?

Silas Ferdinand and Loretta Victoria"Let" Casto Reynolds

Here's another photo I found of my gr-gr-aunt Let Casto Reynolds. Courtesy Betty Briggs' WV Pioneers.

I found this picture of a younger Loretta Casto on Betty Briggs' site, WV Pioneers. She's also in a picture with my gr-gr-grandmother Elizabeth Casto Crane and their sister and brothers.

Just thought I would add these pictures of my extended family, Hayes Carpenter with his grandson Brian Nutter, and Brian with his dad, Keith Nutter (young and older).

I Can't Complain

I just have to post this video I found on the net tonight of one of my favorite songs by the original author and artist--Don Johnson, former Superintendent of ALJC. I learned the song off of his album years ago and have sung it ever since then.

New Bluegrass Gospel Band

I joined a bluegrass gospel band last month. I met them through mutual friends on Facebook, and then discovered Joey is my 2nd cousin!

We've done a couple of sings so far and I'm really enjoying it. I play the fiddle for the group.

Here's a portrait of the group before I joined. Members include Joey and Susan Boggess and Savanah Sims.

Also is a picture of Joey and Susan's family. I love those kids!

New Link

I've added a new link on the right of my blog for those of you who would like to check out Lisa Collins' 5th grade daughter Bayley Collins' column in an online newspaper, The Anchor.

Here's my cousin Roger Hutton with his son, Greg, grandson, Jon, and new gr-grandson.

Hannah's House

This is the assisted living facility where I worked midnights for a while, Hannah's House in Marietta.

Verna Tuxhorn, the owner, is preparing food in the kitchen where I worked many nights preparing dishes for the next days' meals. I also did laundry, cleaning, ADL's, meds, and transportation.

Wedding Dress

This is Bonnie and Pasi Sikio on their wedding day. I made her wedding dress and her bridesmaids dresses. Bonnie's was one of many wedding and bridesmaid's dresses I made over the years.
