Dean Parker celebrated his 71st birthday on Nov. 19. He and his wife, Mary Lou, along with his sister, Judie, and husband, Kirby Seibel, celebrated by going out to eat at Johnny’s Italian Steakhouse. Our meals were very delicious. Also our daughter, Rachel, called her dad when we returned home to wish him a happy birthday.

Welcome to Truro to the Porters’. The Porter’s have four children, Seth, Sadie, Wade and the newest bundle of joy, Wyatt who is four months old.
Kirby & Judie (Parker) Seibel who were visiting in the home of Judie’s brother and wife, Dean & Mary Lou Parker, started to return to their home in North Dakota when their RV broke down and they had to return to the Parker’s home.
