Florence & Larry 2009

Dear Family,

Thanks Nicole and Shane for doing the newsletter this year. Thanks also to Sharon and Bob’s family for the reunion at the Springs In Afton. That was so much fun and finally we got to see a famous thing right in Wyo. I find it so good that so many of you guys travel so far for our family reunions. How pleased Dean and Neva must be.
Our family has been happy and well this year. The beginning of 2009 was quiet for us. We spend as much time we can in Poky so we can see Vance and Parker.
Star Valley Furniture still continues on and on and on I know that should be a good thing and it is but surely a relative needs to buy a furniture store in the middle of beautiful Star Valley.. Such a money maker too !!!!!! Larry’s fishing stories in include a fun trip with Bob, Ray B., Jim B. to Holter Lake in Montana. They of course knocked em dead as they say... If anyone says Larry got skunked just don’t believe a word of it Sharon and Bob spent Easter with us in Poky. Bob learned the fine art of coloring eggs from Parker.
The highlight of 2009 for us was going to Oceanside for Jason and Chelsea’s wedding/ What a beautiful event it was !!!!! Everything was planned and executed so well. Chelsea did most of the festivities herself. She does have a wonderful Mom and some good friends who helped. The beach, the flowers, the reception, the music, the HUNKO groom, the food. It was all amazing. The first song at the reception was Johnny’s tape of “GEORGIA ‘ That brought some tears. I felt Johnny more than once that day. Curt did an excellent job of giving the bride away. I am sure Johnny is proud of them all. One big miracle of that wedding is that we >hillbillies that we are.> got to California and back with not too much trouble. We were lucky to have Gerald and Tena Ross, Shawn,Hillary and kids and Vance for Thanksgiving in Pokey. I say luckey Tena wanted to go to Chuck a rama and so did I but what’s done is done. Maybe next year.
Vance and Parker came to Wyo. For xmas .If you end up with two houses remember that if you put two trees up they eventually have to come down. We did have a great Christmas , hope you all did too.

Love to all........Can’t wait for July

Florence and Larry
