Weavers 2008 - 2009

2008 was a busy year for us. Lots of travel north, south and even east to South Carolina. Much of the travel was regarding serious health problems with Carol's sister Doris and her husband Russ. This continued through much of 2008 with great improvement in 2009 thanks to the efforts of their neighbors Bob and Betty Hawk. We could not have handled all the details without their efforts. Russ and Doris are once again at home with a team of helpers and the constant care of their neighbors.

Delania Weaver

We added two great grandchildren to our clan in 2008. Delania Weaver, daughter of Sharlena, in June and Lea Calomiris, Athena's daughter in November.


July of 2008 was a busy time with the marriage of our great granddaughter Shellamia, Sharlena's oldest daughter, to Isaac Lopez.



Sadly this marriage did not end well as Shelli lost her young husband in 2009 to a drug overdose.


2009 The year began with a visit from our youngest son, Donald and his friend Joyce. It was wonderful to see them all the way down in Bakersfield.

In March we went north to meet our newest great grandson, Warren Parker, son of Michelle and Rock.

Warren Parker - 14th great grandchild.
Medical Emergency On our way home Carol took a walk with our dog Mandy and dislocated and broke her right shoulder. A trip to the emergency room in Tulare and then home. Carol was given permission from her doc to knit if "she doesn't move her arm". She managed to complete 126 projects by years end including 32 pair of socks for Socks For Soldiers and 18 Prayer Shawls for her church group.

Crisel Wedding

Carol recovered enough to make the trip north in April to attend the wedding of our granddaughter Maryanne to Gerald Crisel.

It was a wonderful wedding with families and kids everywhere.


Greek Christmas We ended the year in Fresno with another branch of the family. A chance to see how Delania had grown. To check in with Romelo, who wants to be a chef and watch Destin get his firts two wheeler.
