Mom and Daughters
Enjoying a quick brunch prior to looking at wedding dresses for Angie


 These are a couple of the dresses Angie tried for us. Fun, but not the right one.

Angie did find the perfect dress (At a Bridal Shop in Spokane) but you'll have to wait until the big event to see it!

It has been awhile sense I last posted anything. I find myself spending more time on Facebook these days. Finally an update! A lot has happened in the past few months. My mother left this world in her graceful way last March. Our son returned from Iraq in August. He as his wife came for a visit over Labor Day Weekend. We had a baby shower for them. We are expecting a new grandson in December! Our youngest daughter 'Angela' is engaged! They are planning Summer Wedding, July 27,2012! Lots of wonderful activity happening in our life! Dancing remains a big part of our social life. We have established great friendships with other dancers on the dance floor and off. Dancing is a fun activity for couples to enjoy together and good exercise. I recommend it to everyone!

The 2011 Stockton Show Case
We performed two dances. The Swing was a formation dance, we started the routine and two more couples joined in before the end of the dance.
Our West Coast Swing was quite the hit! Wig, lace leggings and sassy routine received lots of laughs and applause!


Our Waltz was a solo. Our first ever pose! I'm so glad Rick is strong!

Mom is home from the hospital at last! Jo Ellen and her daughter Angie, the welcome home committee!





Debbie brought her daughter Shannon and grandson Bryson. Mom really enjoyed watching Bryson play. Shannon not only helped with mom, she played with Bryson and kept him busy!



Sisters



Debbie and I worked together to make our mother comfortable. Our sister Carol, Brothers Bobby and Darren were also present to lend helping hands.


Home at Last!






It is wonderful to have family pull together when you need them. We all worked together in getting mom home while arranging help to keep her comfortable and support Ted at the same time. Hospice is a wonderful organization working toward quality of life. They are providing nursing care, bath aides, emotional and spiritual support, and a volunteer to provide relief for Ted 4 hours a week. We also found additional respite for Ted through a private home care agency. Mom is loving all the attention! My daughter Angie came and gave mom a pedicure!

Mom (Grandma Campbell) Home from Hospital



My Mother was hospitalized for pnumonia and hypoglycemia mid February. After 7 difficult days we were able to bring her home with the help of Hospice. Mom is so glad to be home!

Caribbean Cruise 2011

We had a wonderful 14 days in the Caribbean. This was our second cruise with Celebrity and we loved both of them. The ships are beautiful, service great and entertainment fun. The above sign is actually in Curacao.

The food is amazing! I had to let the belt out before we got home!


Delsol is a fun shop that sells items that change color in the sun. This young lady helped us with our purchases.

My sister and a couple of her friends enjoyed the cruise with us. My sister is the blond in the middle.







We often went different ways during the day but got together every evening for dinner. My sister Carol and her husband Bob are meeting us for dinner.




Our previous Caribbean Cruise was full of shopping and bus tours. This time we went for more adventerous activities. Here Rick is enjoying a Hot Mineral Bath at the end of a swim in an cold swift water fall!






This is the name of the Natural Hot Springs Mineral Bath!!!!! We both enjoyed it.





We had a thrilling ride on tubes in the river!


Rick talked me into a Zip Line Run! Yes, I actually did it. It was fun. Here is Rick gearing up for the ride of his life. I made him go first to make sure it was safe. It was his idea!


In Position, On Your Mark, Get Set, Ready..............................................................................................


GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Caribbean Cruise 2011



We danced every night! Yes, 14 nights in a row! We arrived early so we could dance before the floor was crowded.
