A Crow Thanksgiving

Together Again!

What a wonderful weekend. Thanks everyone for coming to Arrowhead. We know that it's difficult to make the trek to our place and we really appreciate the effort it took to get here for a holiday. Thanks also for helping with the expenses. We enjoyed seeing each and every one of you. We especially enjoyed seeing Mom with all of her kids after all of these years. Thanks also to the paparazzi and professional photo editors (including Mom) who made us all look like models. Click here for the online photo compilation.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Love, Gary & Mel

Nice Visit, Bad Circumstances

Aunt Joy was at Arrowhead for her annual nursing school reunion. They have been coming for several years now. Grandma was adopted right into the bunch. Unfortunately Joy wasn't able to return to her home in Baytown today when the reunion was over. In fact, she still has no word about the condition of her house because Baytown has no power or water and residents are urged not to return yet. She was headed to her sister's house in Kingsland over by Llano. Thomas, who rode out the storm at Cindy's house in Cypress, told her to stay there until he had things back up and running at home.

The Bingham's were here as well. They left this morning even though Friendswood still had no power. Danny and Bobby stayed behind through the storm and report downed trees and fencing at all of their houses, as well as some roof damage. Overall though, houses were basically in good shape. We have many non-family guests still here at the resort because they cannot yet return home. It was difficult to watch them wait for the storm, and now difficult to watch them wait for news. Makes us thankful for what we have.

Once Upon a Time...

Cindy sent this picture to me and I thought you'd all enjoy. Anne and I talked today about possibly trying something like this again with the Crow-Hassell-Morrison clans getting together, maybe in October at a central location like Wichita Falls? Any thoughts?

Happy Late B-Day Steph

It's not that we didn't think of you-- just that I haven't had time to sit down and wish you a happy day. Hope your day was a good one. 23! Wow! It really doesn't seem like that long ago that you came into the world. Now I sound old, huh? Hope your job is still going well. Let us hear from you when you can.
Love, Gary & Mel

Fw: It's Official - Upcoming Wedding Bells!

Well, it's official - Kellen & Tana are getting married on May 27th in Las Vegas, the same place Sarah & Tomas got married.  YIPPEE!  We're all thrilled to have this decision made - and about Tana becoming an official part of our family!  And she says her parents are excited about going to Vegas. 

The Amarillo clan will leave on Monday, May 26th, the wedding's Tuesday afternoon, and then Kenny, Averey & I (and probably Sarah, Mas & Saylor) will return on Wednesday - Kellen & Tana will stay another day. 

If anyone's interested in an excuse to go to Vegas, Southwest currently has a special fare of $99 (one-way) thru Feb 27 (not that they probably won't have other specials in the near future...).... don't know yet where any of us are staying.

Anyhow - just wanted to share that happy news.... FINALLY!  :-)
