RD & Betty Molcany Barber

Betty and RD wanted to share their latest adventure with the class as they traveled to Oakland, CA to visit their youngest son and meet their future daughter-in-law. Finally, the wedding is set for next March and now they are wondering could grand kids be next? They certainly hope so!

Jenna the soon to be daughter-in-law is a real sweetie so Betty says and a welcomed addition to the family. As an added bonus, they will get a grand dog, Ava, who is about 10 lbs. of fluff and thinks she is human. She and her grand pops really bonded much to the shock of the rest of the family. The bad thing is that they will have to wait until March 13, 2009, for the festivities. The wedding will be in Las Vegas so how much better can it get?

Driving to CA is always fun. One day they went from a temperature of 43 and an altitude of over 7,000 ft. in Williams, AZ to a temperature of 77 and an altitude of 43 ft. in about 2 hours. The scenery was beautiful until they crossed into the desert. Betty says they would rather be in the mountains anytime. Since their son Scott works for a hotel company they always have a room that overlooks the bay and marina with San Francisco off in the distance, which is so nice!

They drove home from CA, stayed a few days, and then repacked the car and headed to Dallas, TX for a 5 day visit with their older son, Gary, and to also spend time with Johnnie Ross McKinney. The weather in that area was a big change after the cool, sunny days in Oakland. The heat and humidity gave all of them a good excuse to stay inside and play cards and enjoy snacking. Even though RD and Betty both grew up in humid areas, she says they must be getting soft in their mature age. When they got back to Abilene heading west they could actually feel the difference in the temperature and they were to be back in their dry climate in a couple of hours.

Betty and RD, thanks for the update on the fun trip and congratulations on meeting the new daughter-in-law. Keep us posted on all the wedding details.
