Heritage Layouts

I've been having some fun creating some heritage layouts from old photos from my mama.



This is my Aunt Mae (maternal side) in Santa Monica, CA in 1950. She lived there for several years.















This is a photo of my grandfather (maternal), my sister Donna, and me. I'm 7 months old.

The Delta - 2011

We spent a very relaxing four days at the Delta, outside of Stockton in Walnut Grove, CA. We camped at Ko-ket Campground with George and Sue Adams, Chris Adams, Chris's girlfriend Ashton, Joe and Nancy Adams and their 3 children - Jessica, Collin, and Jordyn, Nancy's niece Kelsey, and Josh Adams (George & Sue's grandson). George's mom, Anna Mae, came out to visit as well as Molly, Jeff, and Luke (George's niece); Claudia and Dave (George's sister), Suzy and Tony (George's sister). Most all of Sue's family came to visit as well: Kathy & Dave, Jason, Donna & Mike, Mikey, Tina & Zack & Addison, Steve and his 3 kids, and Tom. I think that's all!! Big family!

The weather was great - we had a lot of fun in the water, on the boat, and sitting around playing cards and talking. We ate breakfast at Wimpy's (of course). We didn't get to Al the Wops this time.

We haven't been to the Delta in about 4 years and it was good to go back.
