Tynes:

For those of you who live around Vienna, you will remember our principal of many years, Ray Tynes.  His great-granddaughter, Kolleen Tynes came for a visit last night and to show us her new baby.  We were friends with Kolleen's Dad, Paul for many years. (Paul was also Dwayne's second cousin).  Unfortunately, he passed away several years ago.  We have always kept in contact with Kolleen.  She used to come and spend the night with us every Summer to go to the Lennaman Reunion.  Since a small child, she has always referred to us as Uncle Dwayne and Aunt Connie.

Her baby, Trad  (dart spelled backwards........) is a real sweetheart.  He seems like a real content baby.  Her little girl, Trinity Rain is quite the little character.  Her and Dwayne hit it off right off the bat, as you can tell by the pictures below.

I had picked up a small gift for her from Dollar General.  They didn't have much to select as their shelves were still almost cleaned out since Christmas.  I bought a small set with a pink wig, sunglasses, barrettes, ear rings and a microphone.  You would have thought we spent big bucks as she was so excited.  She had been wanting a microphone that doesn't play music so she could sing and "Rock 'n Roll".  And her and Dwayne did just that.  He's such a dork.  lol

Trinity and the Rock 'n Roll Star, Dwayne!!

(and yes, he had on everything, barrettes, ear rings and all!  lol)

 

We had a nice evening visiting and getting caught up on each other's lives.

 

I am grateful for friends and being there for each other.

(and for my goofy husband)
