Mary Simpson-Naomi Finnerty's daughter


This is the only picture I have of Mary. I love this picture. She has a swing build just for her!
Mary lives in Pentiction with her husband Merv. They have three boys and one daughter and I am not sure how many grandchildren. I am excited about meeting her. I have not seen her since she was two years old!

Count down 57 days to the REUNION

http://www.villagegreenhotel.com/index.php

If you haven't booked your hotel, this is where most are staying. If you want a campsite let me know asap. We have sites 1-10 reserved. Again let me know asap.

I trust you are working on your center pieces and have your Silent Auction item in mind. I have seen some of both and they are wonderful.

I was in Williams Lake and Vernon this past week meeting Bob Finnerty's children and grand children, they are pretty excited about meeting everyone.
The ranch has many exhibits to wander through and a terrific gift store. We will be well looked after. Remember our admission is included in the price on the invitation.
I will be going up in a couple of weeks as I did not see everyone .

Village Green Hotel site

http://www.villagegreenhotel.com/index.php

I suggest you phone for the hotel, ask for Frieda and we are under Finnerty Reunion, or Bev Bowering...

Count down..Are you booked?

Just a little over two months until our REUNION..have you confirmed your campground with me or with Newport Beach? or Hotel?
Money is rolling in for the BBQ....that is wonderful you are all being so prompt.

Don't forget to get started on your centerpiece, your silent auction donation and pictures......

Kristen , Kayla with Great-gramma


Kristen and Kayla are Kevin Blomgren's beautiful, intelligent daughters! They are older than they look in this picture with their great-gramma. Looks like their packs are full so they must have made a scoop at g-gramma and are on their way. Fishing with dad perhaps?
How old are they today...Kristen is 17 & Kayla will be 14 on her next birthday..
