Grandmother’s Posterity…..

We continued our reunion for those of us who were brave enough and still had a little sanity left, at my brother’s house in Spanish Fork, Utah. Diane, my cousin, had graciously offered her house as another resting ground for the Malone clan.

We had a tribute dedicated to Grandmother Blanche Marjory Swan Malone. We shared some of our wonderful, fun, and happy memories about her with the younger generations. She would have loved this posterity of hers and been laughing right along with us. I believe Mike is demonstrating how we would all help her put on her girdle. Good thing this experience didn’t scar you Mike!Verlinda Camera 184 Verlinda Camera 185

We played old time games that Diane, Kelly, Mike and I used to play. Red Rover, Freeze Tag, Annie-Over, Blind Man’s Bluff and proved that the following generation could still compete!

Bless Mike and Debbie and Diane. They opened their homes literally to us all. Let’s just say, if Janae and her children have stayed at your home, you have been visited. All of the kids love Uncle Mika and Aunt Debbie. I unfortunately was extremely sick. I tried but knowing how generous I have always been, I shared the Plague from He.. with one and all. We were always calling poor Dave for a doctors viewpoint. After two round of anti=biotics, three bottles of cough syrup, Alka-Seltzer Plus, kleenexes, and coughing up a lung, I have managed to share this with one and all……..Sorry, but Families Are Forever! Thank you everyone, for helping to keep our family together and solid. (Did she say solid? Which one of this group is solid? I don't know what she's talking about! This whole Fam Damily is crazy........................Until next time.
