This is a picture from last year in Cabo...

2004
Megan drove up from South San Francisco, Susan and I barted over
from
Berkeley and Lafayette and Ted took the train up from the South Bay!
It just seemed like serendipity! We had a great time. Uncle
Willie and his paintings all looked great. He let me take a few photos of his work.
Our back yard in the snow -

August...As usual, Mom and Dad made the trek to the Big Yellow House in Maine. Jim was helping Kevin in Flagstaff so I went by myself to Ilesford on Little Cranberry Island. I wasn't really by myself... Also attending were Ted's entire family, Dodi, Tom and Grace. All together 10 of us around the dinner table. We had a wonderful time walking, biking kayaking, some swam, and lots of great conversation. It was a well-covered event...many photos were taken!
July...Cabo San Lucas with the kids. 6 days of resort living, soaking up the sun. The last day we checked out Cabo Pulmo. Very wonderful and very hot. The kids are fine if we go there on our own next time!
More July...Megan is home now, and we've all been to Juan's Mexican
Restaurant in Berkely. This has become a regular haunt for Susan and
me! Stay tuned for a montage with the collective family experience this
year at Juans!
May - Megan graduated from
college! Attending were Mom and Dad, Kevin and Kristen,
Jerry, Emily and McGilvry. We all had a wonderful time together!
Here are some photos of the festivities..........
We also sold Megan's house on Silver St. in Tucson. Many good
times were had there.

Was this in March? - Such a treat for us! Grace and
Steve visited Sunny California
this week.
They spent most of the time skiing in Tahoe, where Jim and I
joined them for a few days. Grace gave us some great skiing tips.
It was wonderful for all of us to spend time together. Click

bikes.
