You knew I had more

But really, I think I am done uploading photos.. and the coffee is gone.

But we couldn't let Janelle off scot free from the Blog.......
love those Croc's.

Too much cake, Ash.


G'day , mate


Enough of the JJ photos, I'm going to take a picture of me-self.


How many times did you watch the laser show?

Where in the World is Wendy ?

Oh, she was there. Just ask Jabba the Hut. (an admirer at the pool). Or ask Lee, "Mommy, can I have one more chocolate?" "one more"

No sunburns when you swim at night.


The choir, but where's Wendy? or should I say, where's the church? I can joke, W. , cuz as the driver of the Paloozer wagon, I got lost, too.

Yes, you knew this one would be blog material.


Hey, let's see the "where's the tennis ball" trick, AGAIN.


Did we have fun, or what ???

The Headliner

Presenting the star of the show .... JJ.
A drum roll, please............................ ok, enough of that.

Father, Father


Another Gina sighting.


Food, Father

Sisters (not nuns), Father


Family, Father, (what's so funny?)

Mother of the Priest

How about a round of applause for Aunt Louise, the Hostess with the Most-ess . What a great job she did the whole week. Thanks for everything.

Thanks for keeping the Christmas tree up all year.
A good excuse for a party.


Do you remember the song...?


Mom, I'm going pro as a guitar player.
I'm gonna make it big right here in on the Boulder Hwy. in Fabulous Las Vegas.


SHURE...


I'll get back to the chores after just one more pretzel.

Slots, in Vegas ??

For sure she was there.
Looking for her? Check out the aisle seat of a row of the penny slots.


Jennifer checks in to ask what time Mass is (was).

Official participant in the Mass.


Only their hairdressers know for sure...


Relaxing in the Marilyn F. Young art gallery, with the artist.
Not long and they'll both be in the T. P. (Townsley Position)

Irish lasses looking fabulous !!!!

I'd Like to Make a Toast

Ashley got the champagne flowing. And then the toasts to Father JJ came, with an outpouring of love and memories. Oh, and a history lesson of the Holy Famliy parish. Thanks Monsignor.
But really, thank you Ash.

Uncle Herman

The Professor


Pria, the adoring niece

Joe, the childhood buddy

Ashley highly recommends the Napa bubbles
over the French stuff. We concurred.

Gina makes the rounds

Somehow Gina ended up in a lot of photos. Next time you'll know to sit next to her, for sure inclusion in the blog.
And you know she j u s t L U V S the attention. right.


The New Yawkers - Dyan, Herman and Gina



Gina and Dorothy looking sharp for Monday Mass.


Slots, Aunt Louise, and Gina are ready to hit the machines.


Cousin Mike and Gina. and some headless guy.


Wendy and Gina...
Wendy, you should have drunk all that OJ, ... and saved the slacks.

Family from Afar

Now that I've got the hang of multiple photos per posting I can do some more reunion stuff. Warning.... I have a full pot of coffee to work with. Here are some of the gang who travelled quite a distance to celebrate with JJ.


Ljoiussee, Patty and Dorothy enjoy
post dinner drinks, thanks to Slots who finally won some spending $.

Aunt Mary, Margaret, and Marilyn (Slots)
enjoy the post breakfast OJ.


The Scwhalls are plotting
how to get some more of that delish - ious egg dish.


Joe and Carrie appear to be
paying attention, but really they are checking out the photos
on their digital camera.


Settling in for
the big Monday Mass.

Lee was there

Did I mention that?

More photos

fotos are fighting me.
this only took 4 tries. Blogging is not coming easily tonight.

JJ's pal from seminary, Val, was ordained this week. I liked him immediately as he walked off the plane wearing a Packers shirt. He gave the sermon for JJ, and JJ will/did return the favor for him.

Gina rehearsed for her solo in the choir and performed admirably. With such a great back up band, how couldn't she?

We also held a white elephant xmas party (since Aunt Louise left up the tree it seemed the thing to do) Great gifts ! pencils ! wow! microwave egg cookers got Wendy all excited. Stuffed fish for the new fisher of men. (or whatever that saying is) Aussie gear... oy oy oy. a wig. Ichiro crap. Sam's Town candy and stuff. clocks that don't work. binoculars, in case you have a back row seat at Mass (and you know who you are) And a really cool PALOOZER SNOW GLOBE.

And now i see i can only add so many fotos per posting so let's finish up here and i'll add the rest from the party.
