2010 Mo Lauher Reunion |
|
| Sometime earlier this year I realized
that August 19, 2010 would be the 100th
anniversary of my dad's birth and thought
that we ought to do something special.
So, I invited all of my brothers and sisters
and their families to come to the Carolinas
for another Mo Lauher Reunion. We had
met previously in 2003
and 2008
at my sister Chris' house in Cincinnati.
Because of scheduling conflcts we decided
to meet on July 31 and August 1. Tony
invited us to his house for a cookout
on Saturday and we had Sunday breakfast
at our place in Sun City Carolina Lakes.

A Celebration
of Life |
|  On
Saturday, April 17, 2010, almost 100 family
members and friends gathered at the Omni-Colonnade
Hotel in San Antonio to celebrate the
birthday of our sister-in-law, Maria C.
Jordan. She is married to Anne’s
twin brother, George/June/Tony (depends
when and where you knew him).
It was not called a “birthday party”
but a celebration of life as Maria is
a survivor. It was a surprise for her…she
thought she was going out to dinner with
Tony and her son and daughter-in-law.
I understand that it was quite a feat
for Tony to keep it from her but he managed
to do just that. Good job!
On hand were Maria’s sisters and
their families, many friends from church
and work, and the best surprise of all…her
best friend since high school came all
the way from California. June's son Tyrone,
his wife and son were there also. It was
our first time meeting Patricia and Xavier.

Gayle Queen's Going Away Party
|
 When
we lived in Maryland, Anne was part of
a group of ladies who met once a month
for fun and fellowship. On Aug 21, the
ladies held a "going away" party
for Gayle Queen. She is moving to Georgia.

100 Strangers Project |
Last year I started participating in the
100 Strangers Project., an online learning
group for people who want to improve their
social and technical skills needed for taking
portraits of strangers and telling their stories.
The method is learning by doing. My assignment
is to take a photograph of 100 people I don't
know and post it along with a brief story
about the person on the flickr
100 Strangers group. You can also see
my work at strangers.lauher.org.

Adventures in Decorating
Part III |
 One
day in the last week of July, Anne went across
the street to our neighbor's house to see
some recent decorating that they had just
finished. Two days later, my sisters were
in town and Anne took them over to see what
had been done. Seven days later, we had similar
work done - crown molding everywhere, pot
lights in the kitchen, new cabinets and paint
in the laundry area. All done in the twinkling
of an eye. Read
