This is the beginning of what is turning out to be a fairly extensive photo album. I didn't realize how few recent pictures I had on hand of Rex and me, the doggies, and friends and loved ones till I finally got a few I wanted to share, and since then, have added many more. Please revisit often for new additions! I have now split this section into three pages for faster loading. (For pictures of our doggies, see my furballs page!)

This is my hubby! (Taken October, 2000)

This is my E-mail pal, Jill in Michigan. This was taken in December, 2000, shortly before she got to go backstage and present our favorite performer (Collin Raye, as if you didn't know!) with a check from the "Internet Collinators" for ChildHelp U.S.A., a wonderful organization he has helped and promoted greatly.

Here are a couple of pics from one of my most recent Collin concerts, in Spokane, WA, Sept. 30, 2000.

Shirl from Seattle, me, Jenni and Anji from Spokane, and my best friend Dianne

Shirl, Jenni, Dianne, Anji and me, holding two of three posters we made that really caught "Da Man's" attention at the concert!

I have had the thrill of meeting Collin twice - in December '99 in Indianapolis, and at the King County (WA) fair in July, 2000. My only regret about Indianapolis was - guess who left her camera in Jill's car?! I got a group picture that included Collin, but not that coveted shot alone with him. I wasn't about to make that mistake twice! So......

And here we are!!!!! The date was July 18, 2000.

And here we are once again!

Above are just a few of my pictures from that concert (my 7th Collin concert, but my very first front row!!)

Before the concert! Front: Patricia and JK (Jimmy) from BC, Canada; me; Back: Gordon from BC, Tommy (JK's twin)

Patricia, JK, Carole from Utah, Sammy (Collin's drummer), me, and Larry (Collin's newest guitarist)

Carole and me in Lincoln City on the beautiful Oregon Coast, where we stayed the night before after attending Collin's concert at Grand Ronde, Oregon

My E-mail friend Janey from Iowa and her husband, on their anniversary. We met on a Christian weight loss support list. Janey is a gifted poet and writer.
