Bobo's 80th Birthday Celebration

I went home to South Carolina last weekend to surprise my father for his 80th birthday. Everyone kept mum about it so he didn't have a clue UNTIL he started questioning my mother about why they were going to the airport. She told him there might be someone coming in that they might know. My sister, Lorna and her husband, Randy, got to the airport first and were sitting out on the sidewalk. When my parents drove by, my father said, "That sort of looks like Lorna" (who was waving as they drove by). So my mother told him who was coming in.

Here's a site you don't see in Oklahoma - KUDZU. It grows wild in Spartanburg, everywhere.

These are pictures from Bobo's birthday celebration that we had at Billy D's. Merry and Kimberly.
Danny, Crystal, Ben and Owen (hiding behind Crystal). And of course, Audrey, who won't be making her debut until December.
Here's the guest of honor, Bobo, on his 80th birthday.
Lorna and her husband, Randy Carter.
On Saturday we went to North Carolina to attend Crystal's baby shower. She gots lots of stuff for baby Audrey. One of the hostesses was Julie Wunder who is the meteorologist at the television station where Danny works (Channel 13 ??? in Asheville). She recently won an Emmy for her story called "Wild Mountain Weather." Since I worked at a television station before, and know what the Emmy means to a "journalist," I asked if I could take her picture with her Emmy. So here she is...


Here's a picture of the 4 women in our family. (Lorna, Mom, Merry and me)

I have a couple of videos that I will post later.
