- Memories of Mom -

I recently realized again that I have no voice recordings of my Mom, no video of my Mom and scarcely few recipes. So I changed my family recipe blog to my Mom's recipe blog. Click HERE for the link. You can email me recipes or leaving them in the comments here or on her recipe blog.

Baptism information

If anyone would like to visit sunny Florida golf capital of the world this summer....
the baptism will be at our church in Orange Park on August 3rd.
We can reserve a block of rooms. Easy access to the beach and Disney World.
Last chance to come to a baptism in my family until my grandkids!

Happy Birthday Gram!

Grandma would have been 86 day. I can't picture her at 86. She is perpetually late 50s in my mind.
Here she is seated (Evelyn Adele Helmcke Hohmann). Behind here is my maternal great grandmother 'Nana' (Bertha Helmcke) and next to Gram is my brother Steve.

No baby

Nothing happening. Will trim bushes and take kids to pool.

No Baby Yet....

We are just waiting.
Nothing to report, everything is fine.

Thanks for all the name suggestions.
