FYI

There are some features of this blog that you may not be aware of. Raymond, Nathamy, Aprichael, and Ravid all have blogs; you'll find that you can click on their family pics on the side here to get there! And, the pic at the very bottom of the blog (with those still living at home) has a link to myfamily.com for the E Stokes family website. Cool, eh? So, click on the pics and go!
And, I've added everyone for whom I have email addresses to a list of people to be notified when new posts are made on this blog. Let me know if you don't want to be notified.

Mom's on!

Hey all! This is Rachael typing for Mom right now, but hopefully she'll get the idea soon enough to do this herself. :-) April - you need to invite Mom to your blog. Love you all! This is a link to Mom's wish list: http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/ref=cm_gift_gno_wl_hp

An intriguing survey

A friend of mine emailed me a link to a survey being conducted by her brother-in-law. It's about a chocolate shop idea (yes, the word chocolate caught my interest) he's been thinking of and wants to know if his idea is good pretty much. It's optional of course - I preferred posting it on a blog to forwarding the email to everyone I know. Here's the link:

It takes about 10-15 minutes. I thought his idea was very nice. I'd want to visit a shop like that. That's all for now!

A little help?

Just wondering if anyone had a solo photo of Charity. I had one of Andrew, and everyone else with their families but none of Charity. I think her pic ought to be on here, don't you? Any one of you could put it here, but if you'd rather just have me do it . . . email me and I'll think about how we ought to get it transferred. It really takes me a year to download attachments on my email so I'd like to avoid that route. I didn't have everyone's pictures in digital format, so I zoomed in and took pictures with my camera so I could get everyone on, so if you have one of Charity but not digital do what I did. Thanks for any help!

Clock is ticking

Just wanted to let you know that if there is little to no participation in this within the next 60 days I will go ahead and delete the blog. There's no point in wasting cyberspace. :-) In case anyone thought so, this was not posted in anger. Why would I get angry because you are all busy? Anyway, love you all! (deadline is August, a little after the reunion)

Welcome!

Welcome all offspring of Raymond D. Robinson, Jr. Hope everyone will be willing to contribute pics, news, recipes, etc., etc. to this blog. We tried this out with myfamily.com before and it didn't work out too well. I hope this will work better for two reasons: I think it's user friendly, and it's FREE! Isn't that one of the most beautiful words? Probably you're wondering why I thought this would be a good idea since I have my own blog, Nathan and Amy have their own blog, and April & Mike have their own website. Well, I'll tell you: you can get all of the same stuff you could view on those different things on ONE page. With dial-up internet, email attachments of any kind take forever to download; however, blogs are very quick. My own personal blog is something for my friends, and for those on Dave's side of the family with the internet. Anywho . . . enjoy!
