An Old Family Tradition


Here we see Elise showing Troy the family tradition. Whenever a new piece of cement is layed in any part of our property it has been customary that Jimmy adds the names of all family members to freshly laid cement. There are a few reminders in our old residence at Holland Park and now the current family names are immortalized in the latest piece of concrete. (Jimmy, Lucy, Renae, Elise, Troy, Teenie and Phoebe.) We hope that in the future, as our family grows, there will be many more names to add to the next slab Jimmy lays.

Love it!! It could only be a Gates tradition. When Teeny grows up and builds she may also do it.
