Robbie Caudle
Happy 4th of July, Xanga
I have had a busy Summer. So busy in fact I forgot to post a Happy Father’s day so, a belated happy father’s day Xanga.
I have had a small mix of relatives visiting. Both of my sisters have been here and my daughter Halie and my granddaughter Eden. This has kept John and I busy feeding and bedding people down, making sure there was plenty of hot water and other necessities and the usual running around.
One of the most exciting things to happen was a short but very pleasant visit with Robbie Caudle. She is as sweet in person as she is online and very courageous. She is traveling with two of her children, making a round trip of a few of our Eastern states from Texas to back home again. She spent an extended amount of time in Tennessee with some car problems but the mechanic assured her, when they drove away, her car was in good shape.
My sister Bunny and I met with Robbie and family late Saturday evening, June 29, in a Bob Evans restaurant near our home. We visited long enough for a few hugs and with time enough to realize how really charming and intelligent Robbie is and we saw for ourselves, how charming her children are. Not only is everyone charming but they are all beautifully photogenic. Here are some of the photos I took.
Our traveling trio, Rachel, Robbie and Chris.

We had a very pleasant visit and then left the trio at a nearby motel after a bit of motel hunting. Their stop for the next day was Niagra Falls then onward to situate a son in a new apartment then more travel. As I said, Robbie is courageous.
Have a great Summer Xanga. Ours has begun in some wonderful ways and meeting up with Robbie was a plus.

Fantastic pictures as usual.
I am thrilled you had a chance to meet Robbie and kids!
I’m glad you had such a nice visit with Robbie. Travelling by car can be exhausting but well worth the effort as you can take side trips.
They are all so beautiful!
I hope someday Robbie comes out this way…she’s one of my top 5 xangans! Glad you got to meet up with her and the kids…I know they really enjoyed meeting you too!
I loved the visit so much. I wish we had arrived earlier, but as you know, caves were calling my name! LOL
Thank you for the lovely thing you have to say. Courageous and crazy Caudle. That’s me. I love the pictures. I will have to copy them when I get home. I love the puzzle collages of the kids!! Rachel wants to know if you whitened her teeth. (Eyes rolling here!)
Thank you for the lovely visit. I really enjoyed it!
@robbie_caudle - I have the photos saved in printout sizes for you. All of the originals are here for you too. I’m happy to make sure you get them all.
Nice pictures. Hope your summer gets unbusy and you can stop and smell the flowers
Hey what lovely friends you have Becca. Nice Family. Your usual excellent graphical expertise will surely be much appreciated by them, they certainly look a happy lot.
Hey you may have forgot father’s day but you are right in there with the 4th of July. What a wonderful reunion. Fabulous pictures and great that you had a chance to meet in real life. Am so glad to hear you’re keeping busy with company.

Great pictures! And great to see that you’ve been visited by another Xangan =)
My sister enjoyed her stay in Oman very much – but spent most of the time by the sea/pool so we didn’t see all there is to see in this beautiful country (no surprise, though).
Hey now…I left a comment on this post. I know I did! Last Sunday to be exact! poopdeck.
Love the pics Becca. You have a great eye. So many people are meeting their xanga-buds that it must be Summer time!
Take care of you!
Absolutely great pictures! How wonderful that y’all were able to meet! I’m glad you are doing well.
Wonderful pictures Becca
Hi Becca!
Please forgive me as I didn’t realized that this site belonged to you… I subscribed in 11/20/2007 and since I didn’t remember having comments form LitleEgypt and since I was deleting subscriptions, I ended up by deleting this site of yours. Forgive me…
Thanks for writing at “Gi-Gi’s site” all your sites! It was most useful!
Have a great weekend!

@WhataWonderfulNewWorld - It’s hard to keep up with everyone and the older I get, the harder it gets. I do deletions of sites also and understand completely. None of us can do everything even though we may think we are super humans which I did when I was younger. Thanks for your visits to any of my sites. Becca
