Cute piggy saying "Hi!"

Welcome to Betz's website!

Hello, friends and family!

Welcome to my website. It's my passion! When I'm not working, I spend every precious minute of spare time on one of a few things:

Gardening
Scrapbooking
Reunion planning
Writing our family newsletter (over 450 people!)
This website

I hope you get something from your visit here, whether it's a chuckle, a connection with a family member you haven't seen in years, a raised eyebrow, or the reminder of a cherished memory of years gone by.

Speaking of raised eyebrows:

It's surprising how frightened you can get when....

...an 8-foot-tall camel lumbers toward you from across a field. It could bite you, or spit at you, or call you unflattering names. On the other hand, it might turn out to be one of the most gentle, charming, magical creatures you've ever had the chance to encounter. And it might nibble your shirt, thinking that the jungle greenery on your boob is a snack. And best of all, your boyfriend might have the foresight to have the camera ready to capture this magical moment in a photo.

Sometimes, you just have to take a chance...and pet the camel.
