My grandson Kayden and his friends James and Olivia (my friend’s children) enjoying their Icees.

My husband, Travis Thompson, and I celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary with a romantic dinner at the Glenlaurel Inn in Rockbridge.

Four generations: Mama and Papa (Bill and Kathryn Miracle), their son and his wife (Stacey and Carissa Miracle), their two sons (Stacey and Tyler Miracle) and the oldest son’s three kids (Izabel, Zander, and Maximus).

My husband, Ray Ladrick, made me laugh during our first dance. We have been dancing and laughing for 29 years.
