Remembering a Friend

On May 8th, my friend Margaret had a bunch of friends and family over to her house for a backyard BBQ. It was on Mark's birthday. He is her husband who passed away right before Thanksgiving last year from colon cancer. He loved getting together with friends in settings like this, so she thought it would be the perfect thing to do. Mark's parents drove in from Dallas and his brother from Rhode Island even flew in. He has another brother who lives here in Austin, so of course he was there as well. And Margaret's cousin in Dallas came to town too, in addition to all of M&M's Austin friends. It was really great seeing everyone...some I hadn't seen since the funeral.

I didn't take any pictures that night, so I'm attaching some previous ones.


Mark and his old roommates...they started the JC Penney catalog pose photos!


Mark loved the water.

JC Penney poses are hilarious!
