Thief!!

Have you ever noticed when you come home from a good vacation, the good times keep on coming? Some sweet Floridian has our debit card information and has been charging at gas stations! No, we did not have our cards stolen - they just have our information. Pretty good scam, get the info, wait a few months and then start using them. We had a charge for $186 at a Marathon Gas out of Weston, Florida and two $50 charges at a Shell station in Miami, Florida. Weston and Miami are not too far from each other. Luckily, I check our bank balance every day just for this reason. (If you don’t do that you should!) The bank canceled our cards and reimbursed us. It is a pain though, because you have to file a police report and take the report number to bank so they can document it as a reported theft. I HATE THIEVES!!!! I think about how many man hours it takes just to stop those three payments, plus the actual money lost. Some people have no class whatsoever!

Sibling Family Reunion

Florida
2008
Bud's family had their first sibling reunion this summer in Florida. A good time was had by all. Seven out of the twelve (yes twelve) siblings and their spouses were there.

The everglades were beautiful. I could not believe all the alligators laying around amongst all the cattle grazing in the swamp. I wish I had gotten a picture of the cattle grazing up to their knees in water but I didn't. Some cattleman's wife I am!

Here is our magnificent host. Our dear older brother had a wonderful time planned for us the entire week. We all went home exhausted from all the playing we did!

Wow - who are those super models!





Bud looking a little sheepish. I wonder what he is thinking?

Well if that's not enough to make a person go blind!
