3 GENERATIONS OF HAPPINESS

My Dad

2008-06-16T17:24:00.002-04:00

Hey guys - thanks so much for the kind words about my dad. The outpouring of support from friends, family, and acquaintances has been incredible. I think he would be surprised by how many people remember and loved him.

I spent five days with him in April, the first time I had visited since he moved to Florida. We had a great time together - he took me to Busch Gardens and we rode all the roller coasters (including this one - twice!) and I was impressed that at 62, he was still up for it. He instilled in me my love of roller coasters at an early age, encouraging me to stand on my tiptoes when I was still under the required height.

It was a beautiful day, and we had a lot of fun. In fact, it was one of the best days I can remember us ever having.

He had coffee waiting when I woke up, and every morning, he offered to cook me breakfast. We went to the beach a couple times and he laughed at how pale I was (looking around, we confirmed that I was indeed the palest one on the beach!). We had a great time exploring the Salvador Dali museum, and he took me around to meet some of his neighbors. He seemed happy, enjoying life and traveling, and I am so glad he had five years to live 'the good life.'

I went down for a couple of days last week to start taking care of things and found a birthday card for me at his house. He hadn't written it out yet, but it said "To my daughter: I hope your birthday turns out just as great as you did." I took it home with me. My dad was proud of me, and that makes me feel so good.

Yesterday was 'our day' - my birthday, and Father's Day. To say it was a hard day would be a vast understatement. He was a complicated man, and we didn't always see eye to eye on things, but I always loved him and am already missing him dearly.

Thanks for inviting me to post here, Jill - I know Dad would be tickled to see all of the memories you guys have of him!

Michael Scott Krejci

2008-06-07T16:08:00.003-04:00

Michael was taken from us before we were ready, but let's celebrate his life. I know we all have wonderful memories of Michael. Let's share them here.

I have so many it's hard to just pick a few. I do remember when Scott & I went to Michael's for dinner & he couldn't find his corkscrew. I tried using a screwdriver to push the cork into the bottle (had done it many times with no problems) and my hand slipped. I ended up at the emergency room the next day with a splint on my finger. Michael got such a kick out of my accident.

I also remember Michael blaming me for Eileen getting pregnant with Geoffrey. They had been to dinner at my house & I served olives. Michael said olives were a fertility fruit and it was my fault.

Michael loved a good joke. I remember when he, Wendy and I went to pick out Judy's tiara, not once but at least twice that I remember. He loved being a part of the "coronation".

I'll never forget you, Michael.

A quick trip to Florida

2008-01-01T18:22:00.000-05:00

Miles and I took a quick trip to Florida to catch a few rays of sunshine and warm weather. What fun we had! We camped 2 nights right across the street from the beach. Of course we couldn't go without visiting with Judy, Jerry, Jen, Skylar & Jaden. Jerry cooked his famous sketti & we made pigs of ourselves. The trip was much too short but hopefully we can get back and spend more time.

I don't know if anyone's aware of it but Hannah Montana has a senior citizen with thoughts of taking her own show on the road. Let me introduce you to Judy Florida. Watch out, Hannah!

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise

2007-12-31T17:55:00.000-05:00

What sort of Christmas gift could render such a look?

Well, what do you know. It's the infamous underpants and....

panty hose!! How did they ever find there way under Jill's Christmas tree?

Christmas gifts are meant to be a surprise so I think this one was a bit hit.

What about anybody else? Get something that was a surprise? Something that wasn't but you didn't care? (I'm not talking about Brenna who went and bought and wrapped her gift from Lenny and me and then brought it over to open on Christmas day!)

Tell all about your Christmas and post some photos!!!

We have a new baby !

2007-11-30T10:14:00.000-05:00

Congratulations to Marisa and Jim, proud parents of Kenzie Nicole, born 11/29, 3:39 AM, weighing in at a mere 9 lbs., 7 oz. !!!

Happy Birthday

2007-11-15T21:24:00.000-05:00

I hear someone is having a birthay!! Happy birthday Scott.

By the way, Wendy says you are catching up with us....what do you think?

Ps--Alex just had a birthday...Any other November birthdays??

Dress up? Dress down.

2007-09-23T07:59:00.001-04:00

We went shopping for Brenna's dress yesterday. Wow. What a happening place the bridal shop is. And what small dressing rooms they have. The dresses are bigger than the rooms!
But we had a great time and did pick out a dress. Mother was there along with Brenna's Godmother Joanne. And 3 of her bridesmaids were there. Then we had lunch. Here's a photo of Brenna.

I know you didn't think I would show you a picture with her in the dress, did you?

So, what else is going on with everybody?

Anniversary of 9/11/2001

2007-09-11T08:55:00.000-04:00

Today is the 6th Anniversary of 9/11/2001 and a National Day of Mourning. Let us praise God for our blessings and pray for those who survived that disaster and the families of those who didn't. I have on a red top, navy slacks and a flag pin that blinks. How about y'all?

Happy Anniversary

2007-09-11T07:41:00.000-04:00

The Big Day for Brenna & Bobby

2007-08-19T11:32:00.000-04:00

Finally the big day arrived. Now we don't have to listen to Brenna whining "when is he going to give me a ring?". Instead we get to listen to the wedding plans which are far more exciting!

Make Wendy Happy

2007-06-12T07:59:00.000-04:00

Okay, today is "Make Wendy Happy" day. I don't know why she & Darrell didn't get a special group picture but I'll post one of the 2 of them to make her happy. If there's anything we don't want it's an unhappy Wendy.

2007-06-04T20:48:00.000-04:00

Okay, Wendy is whining because I don't have a picture of her & Darrell so I'll add a couple more tonight. Does anyone out there have Terri & Scotts email?

A Week Ago

2007-06-02T10:58:00.000-04:00

It's hard to believe we were all together just a week ago. I'm putting up a few more pictures today. If you have some pics you'd like me to post here send them to me in email. j_bv@hotmail.com.

2007-05-31T16:57:00.000-04:00

Is anyone out there?

Be sure to give this web address to any in our family that you have email addresses for. Otherwise it will be known as the Jill, Lindi & Wendy show. Pass the word!

Post Reunion Stress

2007-05-30T18:45:00.000-04:00

Okay, folks, I've been back for 2 days and I still haven't caught up with my sleep. Whatever sleep I lost it was well worth it to spend the time with "y'all".

The question is: Did everyone have a good time?

Post a comment and tell of some crazy/funny/bizarre thing that you witnessed last weekend. This is for all of us. I'll be posting more pictures later.
