Photo Shoot

Cordie took the time to do a photo shoot of her parents. She made it fun and we appreciate her doing it for free. Thank you, Cordie. You are very good, especially because you could get some good shots of us. And you're very patient.

Everglades

We had the best time visiting the Everglades. Cordie and Mike are only about 30 min from where we took an air boat ride. We saw several wild alligators and ones in a reserve where we got to hold a three year old alligator. They also had crocodiles and Florida Panthers. It was very cool.

Santa's Visit!

Cordie arranged for Santa to come by Christmas Eve. The kids were so surprised. It was a great moment.

Thanksgiving in Minnesota

This is "Santaland" the 47th annual display at Macy's downtown Minneapolis store on the 8th floor. It was so fabulous it felt like I was at Disneyland.

Weekend Trip To Oregon

During my stop in SF guess who was there for a visit? Yes, Obama. I had a great look at Air Force One. The motor cade arrived with the President. However, I didn't have a good shot at him. Oops, I mean look at him.
Then this is the plane I got to go on; a 30 seater. Which was delayed an hour because of the Presidents departure. Gotta love him? Not.
A bunch of sardines.
The fun begins. I love those babies!

Our Anniversary

On September 20th we celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary.

The talented and very funny singing cowboys.
Waiting for the show to start.
