Ranger Creek Ranch Reunion

2011-06-29T19:37:00.000-07:00

It was a whale of a time once again this year. I cannot wait to hear all the details due to the fact that I had to leave early. Waiting for stories and pix!

One of my favorite days...

2010-10-14T11:50:00.000-07:00

There was a day that all the four sista's and I went to Wichita Falls, Texas. Doctors appointments, run to the border and time for sharing. We were able to hear 'the Teddy story' from all of their voices and perspectives. I'll never forget it and I'll never forget my precious Aunt Sue.

Update on Landry

2009-06-30T07:12:00.000-07:00

Hello Everyone, It has been awhile since we have talked. Not a lot goin' on here we are stayin' busy so we feel like a lot is goin' on, but it just seems like the month of JUNE is a busy one this year. Landry is HUGE!!! He is in the toddler 2 class now, so he has no more high chair and they will kinda introduced potty training, but he is not really ready yet. He is in a Big Boy Bed now. HE decided that cribs were for babies. Yes he told me this. Makes me a lil' sad, but i love seeing him discover new words and things everyday!!! In April, he had tubes put in his ears and it was the best thing we ever did. HE is wonderful now. AS for me i'm just working and being a wife and mom. That keeps me very busy. Casey is Great, today he is golfing so what could be better for him. LOL The store's business has really started to pick up and that is great cuz that means CAsey is in a Good mood most of the time. LOL Well we are'nt up to much this summer so if anyone is in the big city area give us a hollar. Love, Casey, Tanisha and Landry

Family Reunion '09

2009-06-27T22:25:00.000-07:00

2009

2008

1980's

It was a fuuuuun time had by all. The Hons' boyz continue to be the most consistent men on earth. Set your clock by 'em, cuz they are dependable. The meat was out of this world. The rest was gravy. (especially Sherry's funky cake cobbler, mmmm) And according to Rodney, my pineapple pie made the grade again this year. We enjoyed some awesome silent auction antics. Sherry STOLE Aunt Jimmie Ann's oil lamp right out from under my nose, but I did get two of her birdhouses. Priceless to me...especially b/c they belonged to such a classy lady that I love. And she was always VERY into the auction's success. I know she had a grin on her face in heaven. Bingo was a blast, as usual...Michael did not win every single time this year. Whew! Some went to a local eatery, (names may be changed to protect from a lawsuit) and played games before, during and after the meal. My fave: Fly Bye, score was Tammie=6, Flies=3 That is sort of an inside joke. Sorry if you missed it, cuz it missed it. The whole weekend was one to make the golden girls proud.

The Golden Gurlz~

2008-08-02T05:31:00.000-07:00

On our way to Midland, we had potty, smoke, gas (fuel) breaks and the only requirement for each stop was playing musical cars. Everyone got a chance to ride with everyone else at some point or another. We are in Midland, Texas as I write! Yesterday we, Vera, Sue, Mollie, Treva, Melinda and Tammie, visited Jimmie Ann bunches. We were joined by Midlandonians, Resa and Faith Ann. Later we ran into Savanna at 'Tweeters N Wooters'. (By the way, Sue and Molly loved our stops there because of the cool indoor smoking option) We hooped and hollared till they almost threw us out of Jimmie's apartment. Or, were you just kidding Resa? Anyway, Jimmie Ann is good and has a quick, witty charm about her. Gettin' around takes a lot of assisted effort and time for her. She has the sweetest 'lil night attendant you ever did see. Her place is a palace fit for a queen. Only the good Lord knows what today (Sat) holdz....

Well, I was right...Saturday was a fun packed day. A morning of family fotos and carry-out from Rosa's Cafe. Afternoon naps and an agape party. While Jimmie Ann rested, the crew went to see

"Mamma Mia". This movie was MADE for our trip. We lived IT out loud while we were in Midland. Granny, Mollie, Sue, Treva, Melinda, Resa and I were the life of the audience. We laughed out loud, hollared and sang along with the movie. Sue even commented that it was one of the best times she'd ever had...

We ended up making fools out of ourselves at karaoke that night. The steaks that Resa planned were yummy. Everyone met Kelsy's new love, Noah and his little girl McKenna. Michael, Savanna's hunny, has quite the voice. He put us all to shame. And their son and Kelsy's daughter are corkers! Too, precious!

Sunday held our hearts in our hands. It was tough saying goodbye, but we experienced the move of the Holy Spirit. All of us wanted to pray before we left...Jimmie Ann was in the middle of the circle, first. Then Mollie, then Faith Ann...we asked God to heal and make whole their bodies. And every single one of us in the room believed that NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD! Resa shared a miraculous healing story about one of her good friends. SOOOO, our faith was flying! (To say the least) After we had 'church', it was time to get on the road again. And we just couldn't wait to get on the road again. HA!

Update on Colton...

2008-05-18T20:38:00.000-07:00

Sorry it has taken so long for me to give everybody the update, but Coltyn is doing great. He has two little black eyes but he plays them off well and some blood that comes out but that was to be expected. He did great during the procedure and after so we were able to leave Lubbock around noon on Thursday. Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts. Here are a few pictures one is before, one is after and one is at 9 months. Love, The Smiths

Prayer Alert~

2008-05-15T05:27:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to let everybody know that Coltyn is having sugery tomorrow (Thursday) in Lubbock. He is having to have his tear ducts probed so nothing too major. He does have to get put under though so that is kind of scary. We have to be in Lubbock between 6 and 6:30a.m. So if you can just keep us in your thoughts all day tomorrow. Hopefully he will be released sometime around lunch. I will keep everybody updated as much as I can. Love, The Smiths

Update on the Anderson's

2008-05-05T09:24:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone,

It has been awhile since i sent some pics of Landry out. We are all doing great and are just loving it down here. Landry is getting big. He sits up on his own and could crawl if he put his mind to it. He is eating baby food and loves it (except for green beans). We are ready for the summer so we can go swimming.

Casey is getting excited that his store date is getting closer. Hopefully soon he will be starting to do interviews and be able to be home in the evenings. Right now he is always working ot 7 or 8 and has at least a 30 minute drive home. So there is not a lot of family time and we hate that.

Me? i'm doing good, just trying to keep everything running. Me and Landry go to baby boot camp on Saturday morings and we love it. He gets to be outside and i get my but kicked while working out. Hopefully i will get some of this weight off soon. That is all with us right now not a whole lot going on but enough to keep us busy. Well hope all is well with everyone.

Love, The Andersons

Hey Everyone, We have finally made it to the big city. We love it so far. Casey just started work yesterday. He likes it so far except he has to be there by 5 in the morning and right now it is a 30 minute drive(if traffic is good). When his store open (that will be in August or September) it will only be like a 15 minute drive. Landry is doing great and getting bigger everyday. He like finally having his own room and we are glad to get ours back, too. I'm doing good, just trying to find an job and a daycare. I would rather stay at home, but we just can't afford for me to right now. Well, I hope everything is going great for everyone in your families. Joe, tell the church family hello and that we already miss you guys. Love and take care, Casey,Tanisha and Landry

Family Moments

Each family has moments,

Moments of happiness and emotion.

Moments that show love and kindness.

To each member of the family.

Some family moments are sad,

Some show hate that never lasts.

Then the truth shines and shows,

Each family moment is special after all.

Family moments may show happiness,

Happiness that lights up the earth.

Family Moments are amazing,

So don't ever forget your...Family Moments.

A Miracle...

2007-07-30T16:41:00.000-07:00

On Sunday, my pastor preached on waiting for your seed to grow into a harvest. And he reminded us to not grow weary and faint while you are waiting. Our prayers for Aunt Jimmie Ann were like seeds being planted. I now see that it took time for those prayer seeds to grow. The fact that her tumor to be GONE is a miracle! And I almost let the enemy steal my joy because I didn't see it as such. When the tumor didn't dissolve immediately upon our prayer request, it shook me up a bit. I knew we prayed HIS will because we prayed the Word over her and the Word says ask believing and you get it. Well, I am now giving thanks to God because we got what we asked for...the tumor is GONE!

Next to be wed...

2007-07-30T16:35:00.000-07:00

My LOOT!

2007-07-23T10:30:00.000-07:00

We had a lot of fun in this year's silent auction. I don't know what part of 'silent' was understood. It was really hard to choose what you were willing to fight for...Brian's homemade jelly, Sherry's red velvet cake, fishing rod, or some family keepsakes. Here's a look at my loot from the silent auction: One of the most coveted items up for bid was a basketful of Chris' coffee. A wonderful assortment was blended in a huge basket. There was a lot of silent bickerin' going on. On occasion the bid sheet would disappear, only to be found under the basket or tucked down in the basket. I was a lightweight bidder on this item and gave up quickly. And I'm not sure how my Mom ended up with the coffee, but she did. That my friends is the reason that it is included in my loot. She gave me half! My second treasure was an antique toaster. Resa sent this item for auction. I don't think it has family ties, but it does now! I think it fits right in with the old-timey motif of my kitchen, don't you? Did I mention that I didn't even enter the fight for Granny Vera's embroidered pillow cases? These might have been one of her greatest yet with a purple ribbon effect. I'm not even sure who looted them? Monica tried really hard because she's settin' up an apartment for her first venture away from home, but don't know if she bagged 'em. The piece-de-la-resistance was Great Granny Clifton's butter mold (bottom right). Sue remembers making a many pad of butter with it. Mollie brought it to the auction. There was a lot of bidding drama surrounding this item. I ended up with it. Doesn't it fit in with my collection quite nicely? I already possessed some of its' matching treasures, as you can see. Granny Vera has been allowing me to showcase Granny Clifton's butter churn (middle). And 'someone' else snuck me Granny Clifton's pie rolling pin (far left). And, I think, that's an old bottle from Trainham's Grocery. Yipee! Tammie

Our smaller family reunion is tomorrow @ lunch time. Estimated arrival time is eleven-a.m.-ish! I remember family gatherings when we wouldn't miss a one because we thought it might be Great Granny's last attendance. Well, let's not be so morbid or modest! Get here! Besides God, family is THE MOST important thing on this earth. Just heard an outstanding encouragement on Aunt Jimmie Ann's recovery...she had an MRI on Tuesday and the mass is completely gone!!! The core may still be there but wasn't evident. The doctor only saw 'where' he made the cut. See! We have a lot to party about!

See you tomorrow!!!!!!!

While on vacation in Hawaii, I was able to see the Pearl Harbor Memorial, Mighty Mo and USS Bowfin. It leaves ya speechless. During this time of reflection, it finally dawned on me that both my grandpa's fought in this war. I took a picture of a map while on the U.S.S Missouri (also called the Mighty Mo where the peace treaty was signed) and Granny Vera pointed out the island of Guam where Grandpa R.T. fought. And right next to Guam is Iwo Jima where my Grandpa Levoy fought. Dad said that Grandpa Levoy always said that if he hadn't been put in a radio position that he didn't think he would have come home alive.

In my ignorance, I have taken my freedom for granted and never even thanked my Grandpas for their service.

Party Hardy!

There was a party at Vera's today during lunch!!! We hear a lot when we get the four sisters in the same room. Like...Jared is graduating from South Plains and Chance was honored for his grades at Cisco. Everyone knew the sexes and names of the upcoming Riggin's great-grandchildren but no one could remember them at the moment. Therefore, if anyone wants to comment the news then I would greatly appreciate it. Mom, Melinda age 55, had a great birthday lunch and yummy cake. No 'biggest loser' in this bunch today.

Kick Back Mom!

Happy Birthday Melinda! Hope you can kick back on your special day! I'm glad you were born!

Do Dogs Really Go To Heaven?

2007-05-06T14:39:00.000-07:00

Why, of course they do!!! The Garden of Eden was heaven on earth and that was Adam and Eve's main job, naming and taking care of the animals. And remember the verse about heaven that says the lion will lay down with the lamb. Peace, total peace!

God has one more dog in heaven today. May 6, 2007 in the middle of the afternoon, Granny's dog Niki went to be with her Creator.

Pray for Granny Vera! There will be a lonely spot on her lap and in her heart.

You're invited...
