FOCUS ON TEXAS
Smiles
By Dacia Rivers
Choosing the best photos from scores of smiling faces was no easy task. Readers sent in their cutest, funniest and happiest photos this month, and the smiles on this page are definitely contagious!
Brenda Reid took this photograph of her 7-year-old grandson Garrison hugging her herding dog Ruby. Reid, a member of HILCO Electric Cooperative, says her dogs smile every time she asks them whether they are ready to go out to the barn.
Mimi Schendel, a Karnes Electric Cooperative member, sent in this adorable photo of her smiling “granddog,” Jake. “He is so sweet and loveable and very, very spoiled,” Schendel said.
Debbie Fleitman, Cooke County Electric Cooperative member, sent in this image she took of her grandson Conner Gebken looking happy to be wearing a tuxedo for his aunt’s wedding.
Victoria Electric Cooperative member Stephanie Swanson caught this picture of her 5-year-old son Dillon enjoying a bubble bath. “He put way too much soap in the tub,” Swanson said, “and the next thing I know, the tub is full of bubbles and all I can see is his face!”
Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative member Rasmey Raymond took this picture of her 8-month-old daughter, Khatin, enjoying a bath in her grandparents’ kitchen sink. “She is such a perfect angel,” Raymond said. “She usually smiles all day.”
