Doug and I attended the funeral for my biological dad, Oscar. I am thankful that 20 years ago I found him and was able to meet him for the first time. I only have good memories of him. We met several times since then. He and Joan came and stayed at our house a few years ago. We had fun making S'mores in our fire pit. After the funeral we had a luncheon at the church. Here are the family pictures of my brothers and sisters. I am so glad to have met all 6 of them. I hope we all stay in touch.

Busch Gardens (Tampa)









While in Florida for Oscar's funeral, Doug and I had the chance to spend the day at Busch Gardens. The weather turned out perfect, and we had a great time. It was very peaceful. The flowers were beautiful. I wouldn't go on any of the roller coasters, but had lots of fun watching them. My favorite animal was the huge Anteater. I had never seen one before. As all my kids know I love Flamingos and there were lots of them. I even held a snake. I have a picture for proof, because my kids would not believe it.(I use to pay Scott and Brad 10 cents for every water snake they would kill) I hate snakes!!
