These are my precious Step Grand Kids Violet and Alice. Violet is in the darker top and Alice is in the pink outfit. I finally got to meet them in person and my hear just melted. It took Violet a little bit to break away from the shyness but after that we played together for hours.
While I was up there I had wanted to get together with some of the guys from the Volunteer Fire Department I was on when I lived in New Jersey. You can see the old firehouse sign on the top for The Brookside Engine Company #1. I had been in touch with one of my friends on there that lives in Kentucky and come to find out, he orginized a mini reunion. Some of the guys pictured above came back from upstate New York, Pennsylvania and even as far away as North Carolina. I hope we do this more often.
