Lets post pictures of the one that approves our train spending $$$$$. Christmas photos or other times. Can be a family photo.

Don't have a Christmas photo of this year. Most recent one was of Pam and her sisters just before Thanksgiving. Pam is on the right, youngest sister Kim on the left and middle sister Lynn in the middle.


MERRY CHRISTMAS

Let's see if this works: this picture is a little dated - on the Nebraska Zephyr a few years ago

This was from a few years back during a visit to Vegas,



we tried what could best be described as sky-diving without the airplane. The next day I don't think either one of us could move without major aches and pains. [:o)]

Below is a photo of me with the two women in my life. It was taken at a cookout last summer. Mary, my wife, has been wonderfully supportive towards our model railroading hobby. So much so, that she gave up her 11 x 16 finished room in the basement so we could build a layout. My daughter, Julia, is the sunshine of my soul. Needless to say, I love them both very, very much.

Daan,

Nice tiny dog.

Here's BB the beagle with my ex-wife and now current wife (gets confusing as there was an ex before that) when BB was a pup.

[:D][:D][:D] I think Bulletje, the chihuahua is N scale.. He was still a very little fellow there. He grew a bit larger, but not much. Don't think it's a rabbit, bulletje has a humungous ego and he thinks he's a rottweiler at least..[:D]
The other dog, Oele, is a small jack-russel, and is a bit of a wheeny. He lack's the ego and sleeps with us in bed.[:o)] He also is afraid of loud noises and loves to play ballgames.
Both have a big hobby; chasing bycicles..

My wife was a gift from God. No kidding! I was pretty lonely and in a sad way so I prayed that God would send me a good wife. A couple days later my dad calls me up and asks if he can fix me up on a blind date with a co-worker. My folks had us both over to dinner. The only day everyone could make it was on my birthday, but we didn't tell her so it wouldn't make her uncomfortable. So, after dinner we're talking and all and she says she has to take off so she can go home and call her dad - it's his birthday! Well, we got married about 9 months later (NO KIDS APPEARRED AT THAT TIME EITHER! YOU GUYS HAVE DIRTY MINDS).

RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
