    Caryn, Tom's sister, and I both had Mrs. Riis only Caryn was a year after me.  Yes, she is younger!


    Dinner Table at Riis


    Here we are at table.  Audrey fixed an awesome grilled Salmon with a Cabernet Sauvignon Blackberry sauce.  Caryn brought a delicious potato casserole, and cake.  I brought a fruit salad and green specialty salad.  We all got "A's"!  BTW- Audrey gave me her recipe!!!


    JR's Feet


    Guess who's feet these belong to?  Look below and see if that helps.


    Uncle & Nephew


    Yep!  There really is a JR Barker.  We got to see him, touch him, and talk with him.  For real!!!

  • Wow, cool pictures.  I ment to ask you, does Audrey remember you and Caryn?   JR looks so grown-up?  I was noticing the body language between him and dad sitting on the couch.   

  • she looks so young-your teacher

    now I forgot who JR is?

  • @Shemax - She did remember us, but maybe the annual pictures helped her out.  She had been to my house twice after high school.... and after I was married.  I was so nervous when she first came as I was thinking she would be grading me, if not officially... unofficially! 

  • @jillcarmel - JR is my only nephew (no nieces either) on Tom's side of the family.  We haven't seen him for 8-10 years because he was away at school or fishing or hunting... there has been a rumor floating around that he was really non existant.  That was propagated by Caryn's friends who have also not seen JR for a very long, long, long time.    It was great seeing him, but I think I overwhelmed him a little with my excitement and crushing hugs.

  • The dinner sounds wonderful!
