faces of the family

now playing: the youngers, "seat 24"


ok, for those of you even remotely curious, meet the family:


this is alex, my brother jimmys' wife...she's originally from england, where he lived for a time...long enough to sweep her off her feet and bring her back to the states, anyway...











this is my aunt betty - mother of nine kids, and sole surviving sister of the stricklin girls. believe me when i tell you she looks good for her age...especially when you know a little about what she's been through in her life....











these are the hampton boys...three fourths of them, anyway. left to right: jimmy, me, and my kid brother randy.










this is dylan (left), and his cousin sonny, chillin' on the sofizzle with a forty under the cushizzle:










jayda and dylan, homeward bound...











randy, penny, J.W. and myself, on the porch at penny's house after my mom's funeral...











looks like jimmy's got something hidden in his teeth...randy and penny knew about it before i did, apparently...










back to just the boys....










i have a ton of pictures from the trip that i'm photoshopping for potential posting on the site itself...to include some of these.
