Happy Halloween from the Colhour Clan

That is one good looking family. Sal especially cleans up nice! Bumblebee's are all the rage this year but our little bee looks like she's missing her candy bucket! But not to worry, Fireman Nate will save the day.
ps. Don't miss the look on the dog's face!

Ruth Guillory's 83rd Birthday Celebration

We had a good time. Bella is adorable.

Marcos hits the road....

Due to unknown reasons really, Marcos Martinez has left the Guillory Family for greener pasturers. Good Bye Marcos, you were a good family member and we will miss you.

November 1, 2008

We are all gathered at Anne and Pete's house. Anne and Pete made a great Hungarian Goulash. Mark jr. and Bonnie were commiserating about being single (yes Marcos left Bonnie).  We are having a gooooood time.

Judge Ruthie

Mom's going to the senior center Halloween Party as Judge Ruthie. Watch out all you law breakers and people who owe their ex roommate $237 for a lawnmower that you appropriated when you moved out!

Reminder: Drink Juice!

A new study shows people who drank fruit and vegetable juices more than three times a week were 76% less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease than those who drank juices less than once a week.

Ruth won $2.00! Yes, the decimal is in the right place. The Lucky Eagle is run by the Chehalis tribe in Rochester WA.

Happy Days Signore Salvatore Virardi

Signore Salvatore Virardi
Now does that name command respect or what? Or he'll call "the boss" on you that's what!

Our beautiful baby relative is now one year old. Where is this time going? I have to meet those children soon or go crazy from cuteness deprivation.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR SAL, you are the apple of our far away eyes.....
Big hugs to your big sis and your parents too....

Absolutely no reason to post this pix except I like it better than the one Marcos posted yesterday.

 

Birthday Greetings to our sweet Isabella

Isabella had another birthday. She is getting so big. Have a great year Bella. We'll be sending you happy birthday wishes and wishing we were there with you. I'll bet you had a really good cake. I remember from the French bakery in Seattle that Bella has only the finest taste in cakes. Eat a piece of gateau for me!

Happy Birthday Dear Bonnie

Happy Birthday To Our Dear Bons who remains young at heart despite being eligible for certain "discounts". These pictures serve as a reminder that you can be cooler in your (early) 50's than you were as a teen! Yeah for us oldsters......

Dear Bon we are glad that you will be home soon and can't wait to hear about your experiences at the retreat.

Rest in Peace Michael Hearne

Our Dear Michael passed away Wednesday July 16th at 11:20 am. We miss him terribly. He was such a great guy, he had amazing equanimity and a dry and hilarious wit. Please leave a comment with your favorite memory of our dear brother Mike.

Tina Baneena and Matt

Tina has not received nearly enough press on this blog. I mean, with such an illustrious young woman, you would expect at least a few posts describing her notorious escapades. And what about the ultra cool Matt? He has not received even a paltry nod from the bloggers that are acorn. Its time to remedy this situation! Here are some photos to give you an idea of what it is like to be a family celebrity... Tina is gorgeous and has blossomed beyond our wildest dreams. We are not worthy.....

At one of my many soirees.....

RIP George Carlin

The New Graduate

We had a great time celebrating Ashley's graduation. First the ceremony and then a party.

Paul made a very special appearance from Hawaii. Surprised us all! It was great to see you, bro.

We had a surprise guest arrive at the party. Thanks, Cuz Nick! It was really, really great to see you too. Wish more of you all could have come.

Love//JR
