Be afraid....be very afraid.

Some hoodlums on the Victoria ferry

I came across this gang of hoodlums on the Victoria ferry trip. They wouldn't let me join the gang because I didn't have a hoody to wear for the picture!

Richard and Fleur visit us from Italy

Our son Richard and his lovely new wife Fleur came to visit us for two weeks. It was great having them here. Fleur couldn't believe that she was here and that our country was so big. We spent a lot of time at home sitting in the sun and taking dips in the hot tub. We rented a boat for an evening trip around the Puget Sound and went to Victoria, Canada for two days. We had so much fun that is was very hard for us to see them leave. The house seems empty now. Well next year we will go see them again in Italy.

Ethan is growing, and what a smile!

Well Ethan is quite the little boy now. We can't believe how much he is growing! The best part is the smiles that he gives us. Usually he likes to keep his hand in the way but now and then you get a great smile from him. He is such a great first grandson.
