A ROSE BETWEEN TWO THORNS
















These pictures were taken in November when we went to Columbus Ohio for John's mom's 85 th birthday. It was also Caroline's mother's 85 th birthday.

There was a really good turn out. John, Tom, Jim and Rosemary were all able to make it. Some of Rose's grandchildren and great grandchildren were there. Mark was the only one of our children that made it. I think he really enjoyed himself. Joey, Lisa and Landon ( Rosemary and Larry's). Lori, Todd and Anthony (Tom and Carol's). All of Caroline's sisters and brother came. We had a wonderful time with lots of tasty food and drink. The weather was just perfect, warm enough that we could be outside and cool enough that we could play the corn hole toss game without breaking to much of a sweat.
It is hard to get all the relatives together so sometimes it can be two or three years before John gets to see his family. It was fun watching John and his brothers and sister cutting up and teasing each other and their mother. Oddly enough no one remembers the same thing from their childhood or if they do they remember it differently. Anyway it was a lot a of fun and maybe we can all get together again soon.


HAPPY 85TH BIRTHDAY!!! ROSE, MOM, GRANDMOTHER AND GREAT GRANDMOTHER.
