A few more beach memories to share before we say farewell to Emerald Isle for another year...

Our gang of 21...10 adults and 11 children (ages 11 and under)...

There's no group of friends quite like a girl's cousins.

My niece Emma is the newest graduate of the Gray family clan, Floyd Central High School Class of 2019.

I survived!!!  Our church's 2019 "ROAR!" Vacation Bible School is in the books.

Our family kicked off summer with a birthday splash bash on Memorial Day.

My brother Mark (pictured here with Mama back in February) was an incredible athlete, both at Hagerstown High School and also at the United States Naval Academy.

My best birthday gift...my daughter Emily, who teaches mathematics at Shenandoah High School, was honored as the Henry County Teacher of Excellence.

Our youngest grandchild Daniel is one.
