Bobby's 49th birthday celebration

Kyle and I drove up to Traverse City to help Bobby celebrate his birthday. We had champagne and pizza on his sailboat and had a grand time!

Coby's graduation photos

So after graduating from high school, Coby is off to college at Bowling Green State University -- just up the road a bit from a few Ripley kin. He's majoring in architecture for now, but who knows what kind of degree he'll end up with?

Facebook/MySpace/LinkedIn

Hey, y'all!

It was great to see so many of you at the family reunion/anniversary party at Matteson Lake. I know there were lots of people with cameras, so if you have photos, please post them here on the blog so that everyone can see them.

Even though I've been busy with work, I've still had time lately to play around with Facebook, MySpace, and LinkedIn -- social networking sites on the Internet. These things are yet another way we can connect, so I hope you'll create your own page and we can all be "friends" in addition to being relatives.

You can find my Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1064510663

My MySpace page is http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=225491092

And you can find me on LinkedIn (which is more of a business networking site) at http://www.linkedin.com/profile?viewProfile=&key=15030214&trk=tab_pro

Hope you're all doing well!

Jill
