Poling Family Reunion 2009!

I thought that since this is the Poling Family Blog, maybe we should post a photo of us at the reunion. See, I might not be the sharpest crayola in the box, but I can connect a few dots given, say, 2 weeks to think about it.
You might be a Poling if:
1. Crap Swap is not only a common word in your vocab, but is also one that has a positive connotation.
2. you said, "I can't believe it's raining. Is it still raining? Wow, the rain!"
3. you participate in country entertainment (guns, beer, ATVs, kites)
4. you are handy at fixing ceiling fans in high pressure situations (you with me Mer?)
5. your closest brush at fame was your image projected on a big sheet in Walt's living room
6. you took at least 500 photos in front of the new Poling Ranch sign
7. one of said photos was your Facebook profile picture
8. you got all dressed up in your swimming gear to eat breakfast with the family
9. your family reunion shirt theme is beer and guns.
10. you are talented, fantastic, and brilliant (or you are married to someone talented, fantastic, and brilliant.) :)

Can ya'll think of any others?

Annual Report

I think we should continue last year's Happy/Crappy challenge from Meredith. We are starting some wonderful family traditions and this was one of my favorites. Who goes first?

What's missing?


I think we need 3 more ladies to add to this fine looking family picture!! What do you think?? This was taken at their cousin's wedding in Edinburg, TX March 28th.
Gary did a great job officiating the ceremony!

Looking for Good Home



Remember this buffet? I brought it to Kerrville 22 years ago. It belonged to Laura Lee and JM Poling, then to Mother and Daddy. I was planning to strip it down to the oak, but meanwhile, I got pregnant with Landon and haven't had time since. Let's see, he's 21 now.....

Anyway, I had the matching table rebuilt to a smaller size, but I would like to keep it. I am just out of space for this piece. I could pass along 2 of the chairs that match.

It's so retro, and kinda cute. Anyone have the perfect spot for it? We'll deliver! Well, maybe!

It's an Oklahoma Christmas...

Parrish and I happen to live on the Parade route for the Sand Springs Christmas Parade. We missed the Parade last year, but caught it tonight...
There were all the normal, cute floats. The local square dancers. The guys riding horses (one of them was sending a text while on his horse.) There were the Shriners in their funny cars, the local pageant winner, the weatherman, the State congressman, the boy scouts, etc.

And then, just as I was telling Parrish about the giant Piggy Bank float that we once constructed out of chicken wire and pink kleenex for Fritch State Bank's float in the Howdy Neighbor Day Parade (circa 1988), along came the 4H Group. They were all piled on a trailer, and behind the trailer...A GIANT SEVERED PIG HEAD.
And it was being chased by a bull dozer....
'Tis the Season!
