As we've been cleaning out our childhood farmhouse with plans to sell it this fall (anyone interested???), we have come across countless "treasures."

Last week, my 58-year-old cousin Angie traded her cancer-ravaged earthly body for a strong healthy one in Heaven.

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.
