Created from: More About Our Family 3

Collectible Treasures Antique and Collectibles was originally

started as a personal website, with an online catalog added,

to find new homes for antiques and collectibles, that I acquired

thru both my parents estate, and my grandmother's. I worked

five years on the site, and did quite a bit of selling of many of

the items that I had available. I enjoyed doing that

tremendously, and then in 2007 my husband died, and I just

didn't have the heart to continue working with my site, or my

catalog. So now after 2 years of trying to deal with the loss

of my husband, I have returned to my site to review it, and to

see where I might now take it. It is still linked with many of

the interests I had in antiques and collectibles, but I am not

offering an online catalog of items to sell, at this time. But

maybe in the future I will once again offer items for sell.

I will be exploring different avenues and different things that I

can redo my site that will offer hopefully interesting things for

any who may find their way here. I hope that all who drop by

will browse the many pages that I have left, and come again

later to see what I have added. Of course this will take time,

so I appreciate everyone's understanding. Drop me a line if

you wish, and any suggestions you might have for me. I

would love hearing from you.

You can still research your antique and collectible items

from within the website's "items we have sold" links. Thank

you for being patient with us during our change over, and

especially for your stopping by and visiting us, and to all

our customers both past and hopefully future we appreciate

you very much.

Below we have photo's of family and our fishing adventures at

Brigdoon. You are welcome to continue visiting with us.

My husbands Mother, Irene with Billy (left), her

youngest son, and my husband's little brother, although grown now.

This is at my husband's family reunion last year. Mom passed away right after my husband came home in Jan. from the hospital, and she

will be missed this year at the re-union, as well as loved and thought

of often. She was a strong woman, alot like my grandmother, and enjoyed life and doing things, kept busy all the time, and was one

of the best cooks I know of. I loved her potatoe salad...!

Hannah, our Son Willy's youngest daughter.

Olivia, our Son Willy's oldest daughter.

Hannah and Olivia, our Son Willy's Daughters.

Our Grand-daughter Melinda doing her best to catch

a fish, and impress me and her Papa, at Brigadoon Resort.

Our Grandson Micah, getting his fishing rod ready

to join his sister Melinda, and hoping to catch a bigger fish than her today, at Brigadoon Resort...

My sister-in-law, Kathy, with her numerous catch of

the day. She out-fished me by far on this day at Brigadoon Resort,

and was loving it..! As for me, I was trying to take it as gently as the waves..!

My baby brother Mike and his wife Kathy. They enjoy visiting with us at our campsite at Brigadoon Resort. Mike has long stopped baiting Kathy's hook, so she has learned to do her own.

Me, I still can't bring myself to actually touch that worm and do all

that is necessary to get it onto the hook. Ugh..!

Update: My brother Mike, passed away last Jan, 2009. I miss him

very much, and will always love him. He was my baby brother, and

we were close. He was a very special friend to me as well as my

little brother.

My brother Jimmy (right) with his Son Benjamin (left), visiting us at Brigadoon Resort. Jimmy is my older brother, although I am the oldest child of our parent. We had a brother who would be two years to the date, older than me, but he sadly passed away at about the age of six. Jimmy is special as well as my brother Mike. We are family.

Nicole, ( I call Nikki ), our first grand daughter, and special

indeed. She is going on 16 here. She is a beautiful young lady, with

a wonderful personality, and growing up..! Our Nikkie will celebrate

her eigthteenth birthday this August 2005. My how time flies, and

how fast they grow up! Nicole will also be blessing us with our very

first great-grandchild in Feb. 2006. Nik is now 21! Her baby

Autumn, my first great-grandchild just turned 4, Feb. 7, 2010!

Our Son-in-law, Ray. He is quite active in school activities,

and coaches teams, as well as Ann. He enjoys working with

children, and loves his famiy. He takes his Father-in-law in good

stride, and does all he can to help if possible, when we need him.

He did us a wonderful thing by spreading 11 tons of small gravel in

our fenced in back yard for our little Diamond Eye and Sapphire

Lady's family. He wouldn't count the loads he took to the back yard,

but he did the whole back yard within 3 hours! It is a fairly large

section we have fenced off for our Jack Russell Terriers, and

we were thrilled at the difference it made in our yard, as well as

our Sun Room, when our little family came in from outside. No

more mud to clean up..!

Everytime I look out to our back yard I think of him doing this for us,

and how much nicer the yard looks as well as cleans easier.!

Thank you dearest Son-in-law, we love you much for the help and

hard work you have done for us, as well as the money you saved us. And your patience was wonderful, dealing with your father-in-law's detailed instructions as you worked..! We are quiteproud of him also. He's a good guy..!

Linda Parker, (me) at the family re-union last year. There's

not many photo's of me really, as I do most of the picture taking in our family. Here I am just sitting and watching the other family members enjoying each others company.

Micah, (me) Linda, Nik and Melinda. Three of our grand

children.

My oldest brother Jimmy with his wife Lorine.

My brother Jimmy (left) and Mike (right), a good many

years ago..! I believe this was in the mid 60's. Both played guitars,

here in this picture Mike is the entertainer. Jimmy is holding Daddy's little dog. I thought this picture was a cutie.

Chad, our Son Willy's youngest son. Chad is older now,

I haven't seen him in little over two years, so I can't tell much about

this little guy.

I hope you have enjoyed browsing our About Page, and viewing the pictures of our family. I have enjoyed sharing this with you.
