George Washburn (1935-2009)

Yesterday was a good day to see family and remember Uncle George. He was a really solid christian man and a really good Uncle. In the last few years, every time I saw him or talked to him, he reminded me more and more of Dad. He and LaRue always seemd upbeat and were a great example to their kids and grandkids. I loved hearing the kids and grandkids memories yesterday, it was just a good day.

I also want to say how proud I am of our family. Mike did a great job and it was great to see Tom and Julie, and we all missed Cindy. Jonelle, Randi and Taylor have grown up to be awesome young ladies. We stopped by Abilene on the way home yesterday and watched Jason turn ten shades of red coaching his team, and I am really proud of the man he has become. I had lunch last weekend with Trey and Kyle and I am proud of how they have grown up the last few years. And, I always hear good things about Preston and Kendyl in backwoods Arkansas. Not to be too sentimental, but I do love our family.

You're right, Don! It's a blessing to be a part of this clan. And, you're not so bad yourself! If only you wouldn't pinch Lisa's nose!
