New Danielson Family Section

John (Dan to some) and I (Karen) were cute when we were little. Weren't we all then? It looks like we were good friends here. That's not how I remember it. Four years younger made me a perfect target for his pranks and teasing. Still I followed him around, esp. when he was in high school and I hung out with his cool friends. We are great friends now and use the Internet to keep in touch constantly.

I took this photo of John when we went to FL to visit Dad in the mid-90's. I missed my plane to St.Pete and landed in Orlando on another flight. I rented a green mustang convertible and drove to meet John 3 hours late. He was reading under a palm tree outside the airport, relaxed and happy to see me. He "knew" I would show up sooner or later. We had fun. We always do.

This is me in the spring of 2001 amidst my rose/tulip/daffodil garden.

My gardens are featured in my www.TheSunflowerLady.com. We have huge sunflowers all over the place. We had a record grape crop too.

I did some major work on my gardens this year. Well most every year I do some major work in my gardens, I guess. TheSunflowerLady.com is my newest website and I plan on having lots of cool gardening stuff there.

Our mom (Renee, a Bell) was a beauty as a teen and married Marv Danielson when he was in the Army. They split up when I was in high school. Though each married again, we were already grown and our memories, and photos, include Dad among the Bell "husbands".

Renee died in May 2000, but I think of her and her sweet sisters often. I created tribute pages to those "Gone But Not Forgotten" in the Bell family on the old family menu. From that Family Menu, you can find all the old photo collections, vacations, visits, reunions, and lots of fun stuff from the past.

Dad, John, and I visited Uncle Carl, my dad's brother in Texas. Father Carl is a retired Episcopalian minister. Maybe that's why I'm such a goody-two-shoes.

Photos of our cousins, Jen and Phillip, and of our visit there are on the old website too.

Dad and I drove to Toronto to visit John in 2001. Soon after that Dad moved back to IL to my guest room, where he and his constant companion, Trixie, still hang out.

In the '80's I finally met my soulmate, Ken. We took a trip to Europe in 1999 and lost most of our photos when my hard drive crashed. I had emailed some, thankfully, and here we are in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. His family now has their own section Muellers that I will keep separate here.

This Danielson section is likely to grow quickly, as John and I take lots of digital pictures of our families. John has 2 beautiful grown daughters, Jane and Nell and a full set of in-laws in Canada.

My family is all here in IL - 3 kids and 4 grandchildren and we take lots of pictures of them. On our old website, we have a huge online Grandkids Album, which I won't repeat here.

Adding the NEWEST photos of our families will be the focus from here on. Watch for new pages coming as news somes in...
