Here are just a few of the pictures that I cherish...
Stroll down memory lane with me as I look at pics of my wonderful family. Please be patient as the pictures load.

Me, Scott & Dad in St. Augustine-Scott is tall but not THAT tall..he is standing on a rock but it is out of camera range. He isn't the Jolly Green Giant :)

Scott took this pic just after we had eaten lunch. Pictured (left to right): Chris, me, Caleb, Jill, Dad and Sara. I highly recommend Bob and Joan's Dairy Queen in St. Augustine!

This is a pic of my nephew Christopher when he was a kid. Isn't he a cutie! He is gonna get me for posting this on my site!!!

I took this pic of Dad and Mom on the balcony of the Twin Islands Motel in Gatlinburg, TN in July 2000. This was the last vacation Dad, Mom and me took before she died.

I took this pic of Dad and Mom in the living room before we went to Sunday service.

This is a picture of my newphew Caleb. He is in the purple outfit with South on his jersey on the right. He is quite the runner.

My cousin, Janie, took this pic of Dad, Mom and me at the family reunion in June 2000.

I took this picture in July 2001 when me, my Dad, my brother Scott and his family all took a road trip to St. Augustine, Florida. We spent a week in paradise. It was a great time of relaxation and fun. This was taken as the sun was coming up over the Atlantic Ocean. Postcard perfect!

December 25, 2001...I took this pic of my niece Sara (who I lovingly nicknamed Princess) striking her best Diva pose in her new Nancy Sinatra Walking Boots.

Panama City Beach, Florida is a little piece of Heaven right here on earth. This was taken a couple of years ago while I was vacationing with Dad and Mom. We were at the Boardwalk Beach Resort. We went one night at sunset and sat on the boardwalk that overlooked the Gulf of Mexico and the sandy white beaches. When I see this pic I go back there in my mind.

This pic was also taken in July 2000 at the Twin Islands Motel in Gatlinburg.

This pic of me and Princess was taken at the Old Fort in Saint Augustine, Florida in July 2001.

This is one of my favorite pictures of Mom. My cousin, Janie, took this in June 2000 at the family reunion. The family had just surprised her with a cake and gifts in honor of her upcoming 50th birthday. I love the smile on her face...what a beautiful person.

This picture of me and Mom was taken in Renfro Valley, KY on July 14, 2000. We stopped in Renfro Valley on our way to Gatlinburg. The weather was perfect and we had a great day.

This pic of me and Caleb was taken in July 2001 on the beach at Saint Augustine.

This picture of Dad and Mom was taken on their wedding day on May 29, 1970.

This portrait of Dad and Mom was taken on August 1, 1999.

Me and Christopher on the balcony of our hotel room in Saint Augustine in July 2001 enjoying a beautiful sunrise.

This pic was taken in the Fall of 2001. This tree is in the front yard of my parents' home. It always is so pretty in the fall.

This picture was taken on Labor Day weekend in 2001. This poplar tree (aka tulip tree) is in the side yard at Dad and Mom's house. Looks like something from a postcard. The midwest is such a pretty place to live.

Sara, Scott and Caleb showing true family togetherness at our big family gathering on December 15, 2001.

This picture was taken in September 2001. After a severe storm moved through the county the sun came out just before sunset and a rainbow appeared. It was breathtakingly beautiful. I had never seen anything like it before.

Taken the same night as the pic to the left from another angle.

December 15, 2001...The Branam Clan - (l-r on couch): my sister, Teresa; Dad and me; (l-r on floor): my brothers, Scott and Mike.

I also took this pic in the Fall of 2001 one evening just before the sun started to set. I loved the way the tree made long shadows.

This is a picture of the back porch on Dad and Mom's house. I have spent many a wonderful evening with Dad, Mom and my family on that porch. Sitting around until way after dark, talking and laughing.

December 15, 2001...The Branam In-Laws - (l-r): Teresa's hubby, Jim; Scott's wife, Jill; Dad and Mike's wife, Catie.

This pic and the one to the right are of my oldest nephew, Caleb. To fully understand why he would pose like that and act so silly you would just have to know Caleb. He is one of a kind. These pics were taken on Thanksgiving Day 2001. I should know better than to tell him to pose for a pic. Most people would just smile but he tries to look like he is posing for Cosmo!

Another pic of Caleb. Not sure what look he was trying to go for here - maybe Hillbilly Chic....who knows! :-)

December 15, 2001...
