Hello everone, somewhere I read the rumblings of a Ford reunion this summer. If it is true could you let me know, so I can staet making plans? Thanks that would be of great help. Have a great day! Colleen

One of the things I will always remeber about aunt Colleen (there is that lovely name again) was how she could make her chin quiver. My mom could wiggle her ears as well, what a talented family! Take Care! Colleen

Last week I tried to "encourage" my family to post to this blog. I sent them all TERRIBLE pictures of themselves and threatened to post them here if they didn't post their own. Although they all responded soon enough to my threat, nobody has updated this blog yet. To be fair, this sort of thing is easier for me to do so I'll give a general update on the family.

He said no, he'd quit drinking and realized that a new years eve party would probably not be conducive to achieving his goals. He'd also recently quit smoking. I remember thinking that was a lot to give up all at once, but of course didn't want to say anything to discourage him. Sean also had a dream to buy himself all new camping gear and go on a camping trip. This he did at the end of the summer. After achieving his goals, his heart gave
