Visit to Vermont, Robert and Erin's update

Last Friday we went to Vermont to visit Naomi and Ben. We were able to get alot accomplished for the wedding. We got the cake ordered, two flower assessments, and invitations perused! Naomi and Ben just have to make the last arrangements and all will be on for May 24th 2009 wedding at 6pm in the Sunset Ballroom. Here is the link to their Honeymoon website: http://www.thehoneymoon.com/couples/find?name=ball&date%5Bmonth%5D=5&date%5Byear%5D=2009. They are planning on going to Mexico for their honeymoon!

Robert and Erin finished up the work on their kitchen remodeling and everything looks great. We cannot wait to see it in person!

Maybe this will work or not

this is a video of the place that Dad and Chuck with his family stayed at on Gili Trawangan Island, Indonesia. If it doesn't work, sorry.

The way to get to the Island was on a boat. Here is the family loading onto the boat. Then once the boat took off. It was fast and wet. Miyoko and Johnny sat in the wrong spot to stay dry!

Then they were all off the the Hotel in the only rapid transport on the island. If you didn't use this you used a bike to get around as their was no cars on the island.

Looked like a great place to visit and have fun. I think the whole family...and I mean all of the brother's, sister, and their spouses should go next time. Wait, don't forget me!

Enjoy, Darleena

Trying to still do this

Well, I finally refound our blog site after a computer crash and our daughter started her blog!

We have had so many things happening in our family since our first start up. Robert married Erin Smith in a lovely ceremony in Ballston Spa, NY.

Channah married Tyler Hanberg in a beautiful ceremony in Las Vegas, NV with her Daddy presiding.

Naomi became engaged to Ben Whitcomb from Williston VT. They will get married May 24th, 2009 in Vermont.

Rita started at Schednectady Christian School as a Jr., got her hunting permit and got her driver's license! Watch out America!

Charlie visited Chuck, Miyoko, and the grandchildren in Indonesia for three weeks and just got back.

I held down the fort here in Galway while he was gone with help from our friends. I also cut down trees, replanted for the fall, and redid the stones and entrance to our driveway.

Now that I refound this blog site, I can keep postings updated.

Enjoy!
