GREETINGS FROM YOAKUM
If you know anything about us, you know our family is one of love and a whole lot of laughter. We believe in being silly, in taking the road trip, in making the memory. And back before social media, back before we shared it all with you in real time, we used to periodically send out postcards of our activities and adventures, our “Greetings from Yoakum”. We recently came across a stack of them and couldn’t resist sharing this trip down “re-memory” lane with y’all. They’ll be reminiscent for some of you who have been along for the ride for many, many years, and for those of you who are relatively recent members of our DDR family, they’ll be a fun peek into the lives of our younger selves and our precious kiddos – before they all went and grew up on us!

Nana in her happy place: her garden with her grandbabies, Walker, Sam, and Jack.
Our little culinary cutie, Jack, showing off his “Smoosh”, the winning (ok, and only) entry in the frozen desserts category.
Snuggly storytime with Nana and Baby Presley.
Sam, Perry, and Walker looking bad to the bone!
