Here are some more pictures of my family! Most of them were taken during my July 1997 trip home, more specifically at my Aunt Carole and Uncle Lee's anniversary party. There are also some pictures from past Christmas parties. These are thumbnails so if you want to see the bigger versions just click!

Some of these folks you might not have heard of before. You should know my Aunts Marilyn and Carole, but you might now know Linda (it might be Lynda- I am looking into that). Linda is Chuck's wife and Chuck is Lee's brother and Lee is Carole's husband. (if you draw a little picture it will be easier to remember)

Sandi is my cousin who lives in Maine with her husband Paul. Mom and Dad is pretty self-explanatory. Laurel is my sister and Tony is her husband.

I think that about covers it for these pictures. There will be more as I find time to scan them.

I thought you might be interested inthe story behind the background. As you may know I am playing in a play-by-email AD&D game with a bunch of folks and the DM is interested in putting the adventure on the web. Since he is new to the web scene I told him I would be happy to help him out with the web part and he sent me some backgrounds and things to twiddle with and two of them were bordered backgrounds. Since I had never used a boardered background I set out to learn how. It did not take terribly long to figure out but I really liked the look when it was all put together. This specific background was made using a floral print from a quilt my man's mother made. which I plopped on the scanner and scanned. Once I scanned it in there was another part which had a interesting texture - which I made into a brush and then cut, pasted and lined up to make the right hand pattern. All in all I was please with the effect but an not sure if it is 'right' with this page. Let me know.
