James Robert Collins

James Robert Collins, son of Mary and Elwood Collins, showing off his latest yard sale bargain to his brother, Vernon, and James' girlfriend, Donna. It isn't everyone who comes to a family reunion with a cement mixer. 

Art' and Linda's kids with spouses

Chuck and Cindy Cathers. Cuck is Art and Linda's eldest and ugliest. Cindy is a good girl but she has poor vision. They're good kids (old kids, but kids never the less) and we all love them to death.

Kristi Lynn and Sean (aka No Talkie Boy) Schoolcraft. Kristi is Art and Linda's youngest. She is also known as Precious.

Ah, here is the middle child, Tricia, with her husband, Tony Riley. She's kind of cute for a red head.

The Tybee Island Lighthouse

The Tybee Island Lighthouse. The plaque below tells the story better than I. Click on it to enlarge.

Brown pelicans

Brown pelicans skimming along the water looking for breakfast. The pelicans were numerous in the area.

 

The sun rise on Tybee Island

Three photos of the sun rising over the Atlantic Ocean at Tybee Island.
It was pretty but I'm not sure if it was worth getting up at 4:30 a.m.
We;;, maybe it was. Who can sleep that late in the morning any how?

 

Betty and me in the living room of condo.

Betty and I taking turns sitting on the couch in the living room of the condo. There were sleeping accomodations for six people: one large bed, two twin beds and the fruton. There is a balcony overlooking the Atlantic Ocean just out the slidding doors in these pictures: a very nice view.

The Guidrys at Tybee Island, Georgia

Here are Brian, Kim, Savanah and Abbigale Guidry in a condo on Tybee Island, Georgia. The Guidrys invited Betty and me to go with them to the island for the week. We all enjoyed our time there. The weather was good (good and hot, that is), the beach nice, the food tolerable and the company great.

Some Work, Others Play

While the rest of us walk around and enjoy ourselves or play frisbee, Wayne is busy slaving over a hot bar-b-que grill cooking up our steaks. He did a right good job, too.
 

Frisbee freaks

Sharon and Wayne Fox, aka Ding-ding and Buddy, invited us over for a cookout on June 6 featuring some of their home grown beef. It was DELICIOUS! AB and Sharon are frisbee players and just had to show off their expertise. Carla says you should check out AB's grimace as he throws.
 

Mom and Cousin Gracie Goegel

Mom and cousin Grace at the Geobel home in Fairfield, Ohio. It's hard to believe that Grace and I are the asme age. Why does she look so much younger? Some think that she and Mom look alike. 

Aunt Lula and cousing Jerry

This is mom's sister, Lula, and her son, Jerry. Aunt Lula will soon be 90 years of age. She has outlived four husbands and one almost husband who passed away before they were married. She's a dandy! 

Mothers' Day

This is my mother, Dorothy Center, on Mothers' Day. My brother, AB, took this photo of her and one of her gifts.
