From Margie

We are proud to announce the birth of our 5th grandchild. Alexander"Alex" Thomas Herrera , born to our youngest daughter Josie & her husband of 2 years Stephen . They all reside in Sweetwater Texas where Stephen runs a small trucking business & Josie is a stay at home Mom. I finally had the long awaited pleasure of having my CA, KS & TX grandchildren together for the first time .It was a short get together --Sally, John's wife & Skyler had to fly back to CA because Sally's
mom Kay Boll was not expected to live long--she passed away on the 12
of Nov.We will all miss her. John , Sally & Skyler now live 12 miles away. They have bought a huge custom built home on almost 4 acres! Texas is a great place to live & we have been blessed to have family(grandbabies) live close to us for the
first time.God is good !
Blessings to you all,
Tom & Margie
Amarillo TX

John & Sally's first snow!

Hey, you guys miss California yet?

In loving memory

Sandee sent in this photo of her brother Don and his dog Bogus. Don would have been 50 on December 10th.

Reminders

Santa Claus will be at the party to deliver presents (so remember to bring them).

Also, please bring a few ornaments you are willing to donate for the christmas trees. Will Sunday the 11th be good for everyone to head up the cemetery to decorate them? We need to plan ahead of time so everyone can make it.

Any new news?

newbies?

For those of you who don't know how this works. I can post information, pictures, whatever you want, just e-mail me. You can click on the comments and leave one or read what others have written. I hope we can all keep in touch this way even after the holidays. Heck, maybe we can even use it for next year!

Here is where it all began. Esperanza and Rosario Torres. How I wish they were here to share this holiday with us. They live in each and every one of our hearts. We owe everything to them.

Welcome!

The invites for the Torres Christmas Party will be going out tomorrow. It will be December 10th from 6pm-10pm. Any questions or comments can be posted here for all to see, read and respond too. I really hope this year we have a great turn out! See you soon!
