Clifton family's first post

First the nearly normal family recent picture. Taken in the back of our backyard, missing Jimmie's girlfriend Loan (lwan).

Next we have the Mafia that forced us to go to dinner at the Ritz Carlton in San Francisco on our 25th anneversary.

And now, a slightly confused Sleeping Beauty at Disneyland. Jimmie wanted a real drink, the only place to get one was at Ariel's Grotto restaurant where all the Princesses walk up to your table and talk to you. After Jimmie's 3rd drink Sleeping Beauty shows up. I think she was a bit confused by us 3 alone at the table. She did handle us well, kept Arthur from putting his arm around her. Thus the slightly puzzled look on her face.


Jimmie's girlfriend Loan. As you can see she fits right in. Very nice, takes no crap from Jimmie. Her parents fled Vietnam in the early 1970's. She works at Jimmie's wind turbine company. We are very happy to have her as part of the family!

Nilla said...

We can make it so people can vote on more than one. Then maybe we can have another poll for the top 3 or 4... I didn't know how everyone wanted to do it. What do you think, Elka?

Katherine Ronachert said...

that works for me especially considering we have the time!
HELLO!!! VOTE PEOPLE!

I think that this one needs to be change so that it doesn't have a "s" on the end of Lyman: LYMAN - THE DEFINITION OF COOL.

Katherine Ronachert said...

my loving husband just said that he's not voting for those slogans. i told him to come up with something better... are you ready for this?
"lymans are like hymens, only better."
*sigh*
he's so creative.

Alllll-righty-then... Let's run that one up the flag pole and see who salutes.

I'm so proud! [wait....I have to wipe a tear away] {sigh} It's just so darn touching to have a last name that rhymes with a female body part!!

Holy cow...we are a crazy bunch. What about Lymans: we may be stupid, but we have fun!

You're Either One of Us, or You Just Wish You Were so Lucky!
