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!

We also sold Megan's house on Silver St. in Tucson.  Many good times were had there.

<>April - Dodi came for a visit too! Dodi and 4 teacher friends came for their spring break - what fun we all had! They were wonderful guests. When they arrived we all met a Juans in Berkeley so Dodi and Susan could see each other.

Jim and Susan also had birthdays - Yvonne took us to the Dead Fish Restaurant
