Meet Carlos, Isa and their children. I had a wonderful time with this group! My daughter introduced me to this lovely family. The Good Lord brings people in your life for a reason. I believe Carlos and Isa were brought to me to brighten my day. Easy going, polite, silly, fun and wonderful. By the end of our session, I knew I made lifetime friends. Thank you Isa and Carlos for letting me photograph your family!

Best Wishes,
Saturday was a fun day! Kevin and I ate breakfast at Talette’s in Tonganoxie. The food is delicious and the decor is inviting. I ordered the #1 Calf Roper. The portion was just right. If you ever go through Tonganoxie (just West of The Legends) be sure to stop in and treat yourself to some good home cooking.
After eating we headed over to the local laundry mat. With two busy lives, sometimes it’s just easier to grab the dirty laundry and just do it all at once. Get it done! To our surprise, we had the pleasure of meeting Hazel. She is the laundry mat attendant. As we were walking in she was wiping down the empty washing machines. Every now and then I would see her look our way. You know me, I enjoy talking with people. I asked her, “What’s your name?” She let me have it- first, middle and last. For the life of me, I just remember the first- Hazel.
Hazel is very talkative, fun and inspiring. At 70, her dream is to be a comedian. She had her routine down and gave us a show. We had several good laughs with her. I am glad to say I have a new friend. Looking forward to seeing her again!

August 31, 2013 was a fun filled day with eleven Engelken siblings. We met in Seneca, KS for food, games and chatter. Kevin and I along with our daughter and grand-daughter arrived rather early. We took a tour of the scenic town of Seneca. Should you ever pass through- the park is very interesting. The highlights are shown in the images below.
From the park, we went to the main street in town. Here are some images of what we saw during our downtown stroll.
After our stroll we made our way to Valentino’s….
The complete gallery is available for viewing, refer to the link below. It was my goal to get at least one picture of everyone who was at the reunion. Be sure to take a look and them all!
The Engelken 2013 reunion images are available for download on the family page.
