As a newlywed couple, Nance and Phig spent 3 years in Sault Ste Marie, MI, serving in the US Air Force. They added two beautiphul daughters born 16 months apart. Shannon Marie and Nichole Lynn became the center of our wonderphul lives. The good Lord had blessed our love with two healthy, intelligent, “perphect” daughters that would grow to be the “Pride and Joy” of both the Newton phamily and the Lystila phamily. The first grandbabies in both phamilies! Both girls turned 17 on their 4th birthdays. Yes, you read that right….they were the “perphect” children. Both so smart(got this phrom Nance), and phunny as Hell(yes, phrom your’s truly). They became two of our best phriends early on, and still are. They were always best phriends growing up and still are. Two distinct individuals with Shannon being talented in music and dance(inphluenced by Dad), and Nikki being a gifted artist in several mediums(phrom Nance). Both successphul in their own rights in each liphestyle. The Nance and I are so blessed and so proud of them.
About the turn of the century, Shannon blessed us again by marrying Big Mike Geier and giving Phig and Nance, not just a son-n-law, but a son. And what a son he is! 6 foot 8 inches of talent and entertainment the likes of which the world has never seen or heard! Their relationship with a singing clown called “PUDDLES” has created a unique phriendship that has taken the 3 of them all over the world entertaining pholks of all ages and providing them with a “living large” liphestyle! PUDDLES has become a “superstar” in every sense of the word and has included Shan and Mike in all of his success and experiences. Please go to YOUTUBE and listen to PUDDLES PITY PARTY to understand his success. You will be glad you did, and you will become a P3 Phan.
In 2003, Nance and Phig phound their “little piece of paradise” when they relocated to PUNTA GORDA, FL, or PUNTA GORGEOUS as I call it. And it is! I could write a book about this little jewel in southwest Phlorida. I consider myselph the “Social Mayor” of our little harborside town. Nance and I have been “entertaining” the people of PUNTA GORGEOUS thru the costumes she makes phor PHIG, and the “personalities” the costumes create phor Phig phor years. Watch phor one of those characters at any of the many events held here in beautiphul downtown PUNTA GORGEOUS. Or at the table next to you at any of our wonderphul restuarants or waterin’ holes downtown. The Newtons were phortunate to have BUBBA and LYNN(Nance’s twin) relocate directly across the street phrom VILLA de PHIG, in Burnt Store Isles a couple of years ago. So, the LYSTILA TWINS are back together!
So these phirst two phlogs in my new career of “PHLOG WRITING” introduces you to my wonderphul blessed liphe here in paradise! Phuture phlogs will be much more diverse in many different subjects. Some real and some phigments of my imagination!
Look phorward to talking with you again next week! Hope to see you then….
