Hello from Houston

On Friday 8/8/08 Nana Flo passed away at Hope Hospice. We were on our way over but didn't make it in time. We (Myself, Glenora, Stephen, Caitlin, Sarah, John) spent the weekend with Vince (her husband), his 3 children and many of their friends in the community. There was a beautiful memorial service for mom on Sunday. It was nice of Ray Chalmers and Mike and Karen Sughrue to attend. My mother was a Daughter of the American Revolution. She was the only child of Stephen and Sarah Stroup and married John Harrington in 1950. John rejoined the Air Force and eventually retired. Flo spent most of her years moving from one air force base to another and raising 3 children. I don't think her upbringing prepared her for the trials and tribulations of being a miltary spouse, but her strength of character helped her to do the best she could for her children.

Congrats to Caitlin on her graduation from Langham Creek HS, Houston, TX. We had a great time with everyone. Too bad Nana Flo or Brother Stephen couldn't be here for the festivities. Pictures to follow. As promised pictures!! http://picasaweb.google.com/dharrington1190/GraduationAndParty

He will be stationed with HSL 51- the Warlords for a month. Hope he gets some flight time. His email address is stephenharr@gmail.com. He will return to Austin for his senior year next year and be commissioned in the Navy.

My brother, sister, and I spent last week in Ft Myers , Fl helping our mother who was admitted to the ICU in Respiratory Failure. The ICU staff did a good job and saved her. She was discharged today and is at home resting comfortably I hope. She should have gone to a rehab facility and then had home health but didn't. Hope she does ok.

Hello Everyone, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We have lots of good stuff going in 2008 and we look forward to posting and trying to keep everyone informed on the comings and goings of the Houston clan.

Went fishing on Saturday 9/8 with Capt Redfish (Randy Bartosh ). About 20 miles in the Gulf- these are 2 of the 6 Kings we caught along with 2 Spanish macs.
